Cannondale Synapse Carbon Disc RED eTap is a road bike with a light carbon frame. Thanks to the special processing of carbon and the shaping of the tubes , the frame is rigid, but at the same time comfortable. It is helped by several technologies developed directly by Cannondale. One of them is the Ballistec Carbon precision processing system. Its basis is a structure made of ultra-strong fibers, which are combined with high-strength and impact-resistant resins. Together, they are combined into layers that maximize the direction-specific qualities of the fibers. The result is an extremely light, rigid and yet durable frame. Another technology that focuses mainly on rider comfort is SPEED SAVE PLUS. It works primarily through the balance between the rear frame triangle and the fork. The main idea is that the tubes on the rear frame triangle are able to bend vertically and thus absorb shocks. The carbon layering is designed so that the fibers are oriented in such a way that they absorb the vibrations in their layers and dissipate them before they are directed towards the rider. In this combination , the frame is sufficiently rigid in the lateral direction, but at the same time it provides the rider with sufficient comfort even during long rides and thus delays fatigue. The second part of the system focuses on rider comfort. The seat tube has a directionally optimized weave of carbon layers that allows it to flex slightly forwards and backwards. Here , vibrations and shocks are dissipated and muscle micro-traumas that reduce energy during long days in the saddle are reduced.

The connection of the function of the components and the frame is ensured by System Integration. The essence of the System Integration philosophy is that the key components of the bike are optimized to work with the frame and together. The result is then a better performance of the whole bike. The Cannondale company does not want to limit itself when creating a frame by accepting common standards and creates the frame and components as one package.

The Cannondale Synapse Carbon Disc RED eTap road bike is equipped with high-quality Sram Red stage components with 2x11 speeds. It is a set of road electronic shift components using the revolutionary technology of wireless transmission encrypted using the AIRE protocol. Confidence on descents> will be provided by a pair of Sram RED hydraulic disc brakes, which will support you even on long mountain descents and retain their braking effect even in adverse weather conditions. The top-quality Quarq Prime Carbon road cranks with a built-in Quarq DZero power meter contribute to efficient power transmission.
You can also rely on Vittoria Rubino Pro 700x28c tires, which excel in universal use. Cannondale Synapse Carbon Disc RED eTap made for big rides and long days in the saddle. Its geometry for all-day riding offers wide possibilities of use and full racing performance. It is a real endurance machine with racing parameters, which at the same time emphasizes the rider's comfort using high-quality components.
