Roll smooth, roll fast, roll confident — Cannondale's most comfortable, all-around, up-for-anything pure road machine.
Overview
The Synapse 1 pairs a lightweight SmartForm C2 alloy frame with a full carbon fork, and Shimano's legendary 105 12-speed groupset for incredible performance value at this level.
Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes deliver smooth, controllable braking, and the Cannondale Wheel Sensor adds a connected ride experience — ride tracking, service reminders and more, straight out of the box.
Light, durable DT Swiss R470 wheels with 700x30c Vittoria tires round out a genuinely capable, comfortable road bike for every kind of ride.

Who Is It For?
The Synapse 1 suits a rider who wants a genuinely comfortable, do-it-all road bike with a real Shimano 105 groupset — someone upgrading from an entry-level bike who wants genuine performance without stepping up to carbon.
For Indian riders tackling mixed road surfaces or long training rides, the endurance geometry and 30mm tire clearance make a real difference to comfort over distance.
