2018 Cannondale Synapse Aluminium DISC : 105 SE : Anthracite

Season:2018

Brand:Cannondale

Code:C12358MANT

The aluminium Cannondale Synapse 105 SE is a new model for 2018 and is part of Cannondale's NEW ROAD range of road bikes with a little more besides. Like all of the New Road range (anything with SE in the title) the 105 SE features a modified specification that adds versatility to the traditional package. In this case, wider rims (19mm instead of 17mm) and tyres (30mm instead of 28mm) and a wider gear ratio (48/32 chainrings and an 11-32 cassette) offer the rider lower gearing and much greater tyre volume should they wish to take their 'road bike' down the less well travelled route, be that tow-path, gravel road or hard-packed trail. The Synapse 105 SE is disc equipped too so if you do venture off-road, are partial to a long descent or are one to ride regardless of weather and conditions the addition of discs may well suit given the inherent boost to braking performance. Discs have the added advantage of the brake not rubbing should you buckle your wheel - more likely on your forays away from the asphalt - which will be a plus should the unfortunate happen. Aside from the slightly larger wheel/tyre combo and the gear ratios, the Synapse remains essentially the same - an all-day comfort aluminium machine with a racing heart and the geometry to deliver the best of everything.

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 refined SAVE Plus stay design eliminates road buzz whilst stiffening the frame for power transfer and combined with Cannondale's Endurance Race Geometry which strikes the perfect balance between upright comfort and aggressive race positioning, 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. The asymmetrically designed frame and fork balance rider and disc loads for incredible stability and stiffness which helps the rider to nail lines and corner confidently.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, stability and handling. Again these stays are very broad and flat to retain the lateral stiffness - a design Cannondale call SAVE Plus which helps transmit your power to the wheels while absorbing small vibrations and remaining comfortable. The Synapse 105 SE Disc uses the Cannondale-created BB30 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 asymmetric design and SAVE Plus microsuspension system, the fork flattens along its length to produce a smooth ride under the bars and keeps the front wheel tracking for improvedhandling and cornering performance. The headtube is slightly higher than its opposite number, the Cannondale CAAD12 or Optimo in order to provide a more relaxed riding position; advantageous for those long weekend rides when the pressure begins to tell after a few hours in the saddle or for added stability when riding away from the tarmac. 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 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 105 Disc SE is equipped with Shimano 105 11 speed shifting components and is married to Cannondale's own Hollowgram Si BB30a crank and FSA 48/32 chainrings - lighter and stiffer than the Shimano 105 equivalent. Combined with the BB30a, it maximises your power transfer, efficiency and the bikes responsiveness. Disc brakes are the market leading cable actuated TRP Spyre with 160mm front and rear rotors for confident stopping in all conditions and terrains. Finishing kit is Cannondale's own C3 with WTB Exposure Tubeless ready 30mm tyres keeping you planted and comfortable regardless of where your ride takes you. Should you need a little more, the frame is ready to accept upto a 32mm tyre and for those winter club rides and commutes it comes supplied with hidden mudguard mount and a removable stay-bridge for fitting your mudguards for spray-free rides.

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
