Road Reimagined
Go long, go short, go fast. This is WorldTour performance for real world rides.
Model Description

Synapse Carbon 5 brings Cannondale’s high-comfort, high-capability ethos to a more grounded spec—Shimano 105 mechanical shifting, carbon frame magic, and wide clearance for real-world roads. Whether it’s your first serious bike or your fifteenth, this one rides like it’s in on the secret: the right bike makes all the difference.
