2014 Cannondale Synapse Carbon 105 Womens

Season:2014

Brand:Cannondale

Code:VAR2229GRY

The Cannondale Synapse has become a mainstay of their range, being as it is one of the finest all-round road bikes for the general cycling enthusiast and Sportive or Century rider. It was surprising to us last year that a carbon version of the bike was missing from the Women's range, especially as this is a growing area in our sport and given the fact that the Aluminium version was such a popular model.

We were relieved to learn that the Synapse Carbon for women was returning, not only that but that it was even better than before.

The Synapse Carbon has undergone a few changes since last season and has been ridden by one of the sport's most entertaining riders, Peter Sagan. The developments made by Cannondale and their pro team have yielded an even more desireable frame particularly if you are looking for something to ride or race over testing roads and higher mileage.

The 2014 Carbon Synapse has a geometry that sits between Elite Race and Upright Comfort and is what Cannondale have dubbed S.E.R.G or Synapse Endurance Race Geometry. A slightly taller headtube than the SuperSix EVO yet lower than the Synapse Alloy coupled with a slightly slacker head angle and a longer wheelbase give a frame that is ideal for long days in the saddle and that remains confident in terms of handling regardless of road surface.

Like it's predecessor, the 2014 Synapse Carbon utilises SAVE micro -suspension technology whereby certain areas of the frame are flattened to allow a degree of flexion that not only reduces energy-sapping vibration but allows the rear wheel to track better on uneven surfaces. This year however, Cannondale have developed the idea further: The Helixed shapes of the chain and seat stays in conjunction with carbon lay-up and an offset fork drop-out better allow the frame to dissipate road buzz while allowing greater wheel tracking to give a confident ride whether the rider is seated or out of the saddle. The Seat tube and seatpost are also altered for 2014 and the Synapse carbon features a scalloped seat tube, a smaller diameter post (25.4mm as opposed to last seasons 27.2mm) and a collarless seatclamp. These 3 features combine to allow a seattube that offers greater flex one way whilst the seatpost flexes further in the opposite direction, again increasing comfort.

You may think that all this flex would lead to a frame or bike that is somewhat inefficient in terms of power delivery. Cannondale have used the same approach with their BallisTec carbon lay-up and design with the Synapse Carbon, as that used with the SuperSix EVO which has the highest stiffness to weigh figures in the world. In addition, Cannondale's new Power Pyramid and BB30A design offer maximum stiffness with minimal weight. Look closely at the seattube just above the bottom bracket area and you will see that the Seat tube splits asymmetrically to meet the new, wider 73mm BB30A. The asymmetry balances the drive forces created by the rider whilst the BB30A creates a stiffer platform from which to deliver those forces to the wheels.

Stiff, fast and comfortable. The Cannondale Synapse Carbon is the ideal balance between raw power and all-day rideability, race proven under Peter Sagan with dialled vertical compliance the Synapse Carbon redefines Endurance and will suit riders looking to go harder for longer. 

Like all Women's versions, the geometry is designed to fit the female form with marginally reduced top tube lengths and appropriate handlebars, stem and saddle. Shimano's 105 10 Speed componentry and FSA's compact 50/34 BB30A Gossamer chainset offer a level of specification that make the Synapse Carbon ready to tackle even the most sadistic of Gran Fondos!
