2015 Cannondale Synapse : Sora : Black

Season:2015

Brand:Cannondale

Code:VARCM2163BLK

The Cannondale Synapse range is getting better with every season. With numerous awards and a Bike of the Year under the belt, they are definitely ticking the boxes. The introduction of disc brakes into the 2015 range, a price drop and Cannondale's legendary aluminium craftsmanship means that you can confidently commit to a brand who are forward thinking, consistently get things right and that do it at the right price

The younger brother of the impeccable Synapse Carbon the Cannondale Synapse Aluminium emulates the blissful ride of its more expensive carbon counterpart but without the price tag. The SAVE Plus stay design eliminates road buzz whilst stiffening the frame for power transfer and combined with a slightly longer wheelbase than the race geometry models, offers stability and confident cornering. The ideal platform for someone looking for comfort, performance, versatility and value.

Cannondale are Aluminium masters and their skills with the metal are evident from the ride quality and kudos that their frames consistently receive, even when pitched against carbon competition.  With the aluminium Synapse, Cannondale have formed the aluminium to imitate the tube profiles that make the carbon version so effective. If you look closely at the rear end you will see that the stays are similarly sculpted and flattened in order to generate that vertical flex that gives the Synapse carbon its gorgeous ride quality. Again these stays are very broad and flat to retain the lateral stiffness - a design Cannondale call SAVE which helps transmit your power to the wheels while absorbing small vibrations and remaining comfortable. The Synapse Tiagra is the first Synapse in the range to use the Cannondale-created BB30 (a market leading bottom bracket platform) and coupled with previously mentioned tube shapes means the Cannondale Synapse has impressive stiffness to weight figures; especially when one considers the price.

At the front end the story is the same, the carbon fork again employs the SAVE system, the fork flattens along its length to produce a smooth ride under the bars without compromising cornering performance. The headtube is slightly higher than its opposite number, the Cannondale CAAD 10 in order to provide a more relaxed riding position; advantageous for those long Sunday rides when the pressure begins to tell after a few hours in the saddle. All these features produce a bike that is ideal for the entry level cyclist looking to improve their fitness and perhaps begin a foray into a few Sportives. The frame itself is a solid base on which to build, so if you want to take your riding further the Synapse Aluminium frame is a great platform.

The Synapse Sora is equipped with Shimano Sora 9 speed gearing and FSA Compact 50/34 chainset and is finished using Cannondale's aluminium C4 components.

Technical Information

TECHNOLOGIES

  • SAVE PLUS Alloy Micro-Suspension
    By flattening and butting the chain stays and triaxially forming the seat stays, we create a rear stay assembly that allows significant deflection vertically to absorb road shock and vibration while staying extremely rigid laterally for power transfer and confident cornering.
  • Endurance Geometry
    Compared with our Elite race geometry, the Synapse geometry features a taller head tube (2-2.5cm taller), gently sloping top tube, slightly relaxed head angle and longer wheelbase. This combination provides a more upright riding position and a lively, yet stable feel. It’s confidence inspiring and relaxing but avoids the sluggish feel and awkward handling of many “comfort” road bikes.
  • Optimized 6061 Alloy Construction
    Cannondale’s legendary double-pass smooth welds join optimally shaped taper-butted tubes for a great combination of svelte light weight, stiffness and durability.
  • Carbon Bladed Fork
    Carbon fork blades with integrated SAVE features provide additional comfort and sharp handling.
  • BB30 System
    Cannondale invented BB30 13 years ago to take crank and frame performance to the next level and it has become THE industry standard for stiffness and light weight. Found on both the 105 and Tiagra equipped models.
  • Rack and Fender Mounts
    Subtle, understated rack and fender mounts add versatility.
  • Disc Brakes
    The Synapse Alloy is the first Cannondale road bike to feature disc brakes for great stopping power and exceptional control

  • Hi, what is the weight of this bike?
    Question asked by Maciej on 04/06/2020 08:26:40
    Hi, There are no listings for weights and without the bike it is difficult to be accurate but we would say between 9 and 9.5kg as a guide. Thanks
