Cannondale SYNAPSE CARBON 1 - Roadbike - 2026 - tungsten blue

Road reimagined.

Go long, go short, go fast. This is WorldTour performance for real world rides. The sharp end of endurance. The Cannondale Synapse Carbon 1 comes carved from superlight Hi-MOD carbon and tuned for the real world. The SystemBar cockpit delivers sleek control.

Shimano Ultegra Di2 delivers flawless electronic precision, while the Reserve 42|49 Turbulent Aero wheels slice through wind and roll with poise over chunky tarmac. This is your stealth missile for long-haul glory, wrapped in composure and ready for whatever the road throws next.

Real world performance. Designed to go fast, built to go long, and made to keep you comfortable, the Synapse redefines road performance. With a lightweight frame featuring wind-tunnel-sculpted tubing and PB-blasting stiffness-to-weight, it’s a bike that’s ready for anything you demand of it. Just ask Lachlan Morton why he trusted it for his record-smashing lap of Australia. Unreal speed, engineered for real-world roads.​ 

Compliant comfort. With advancements in the carbon layup, the Cannondale engineers have made the new Synapse 20% more compliant than its already butter-smooth predecessor, ensuring you feel 100% more comfortable even on the roughest roads. 

Fits like a glove. A great fit and feel makes for a great ride. And with Proportional Response Construction, every rider gets that as standard. From the carbon layup through to the geometry, everything on Synapse has been tuned and tested by frame size. So that your bike works in harmony with you to give the best possible ride for you and your height.

Bring it all, bring it on. The all-new StashPort storage system in the downtube is there when you need it and hidden when you don’t. Paired with its StashBag buddy, you can bring along your ride essentials and know that they’ll be secure, whatever you get up to out there. Meanwhile, best-in-class tire clearance lets you take the idea of riding for longer to a whole new level.
