Cannondale Synapse Hi-Mod Disc Dura Ace Di2 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 Hi-Mod carbon precision processing system. It uses a sophisticated mix of long and ultra-long modulus fibers to create a rigid mesh that can reduce the overall weight of the entire frame to a minimum. The hi-mod fibers also deliver a livelier ride with better response and provide a better feel for the driving surface, so riding on the edge is under more control. 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 capable of vertical bending 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 Hi-Mod Disc Dura Ace Di2 road bike is equipped with top Shimano Dura Ace Di2 components with 2x11 speeds. Shimano Dura-Ace is the top set of this brand and is characterized by low weight and excellent ergonomics. Shimano Dura-Ace stands out not only for its long service life, but also for its uncompromising shift accuracy and perfect workshop processing.

A pair of Shimano Dura-Ace 9170 hydraulic disc brakes will provide you with certainty and almost absolute control on the descents, which thanks to the Ice-Tec cooling will keep you going even on long mountain descents and retain their braking effect even in adverse weather conditions.

Fast acceleration will be supported by Cannondale HollowGram Carbon Clincher Disc carbon rims, intertwined with lightweight Cannondale HollowGram Disc hubs with high-quality industrial bearings. These wheels stand out for their low weight, stiffness and comfort when driving on broken roads.
You can also rely on Vittoria Rubino Pro 700x28c tires, which excel in universal use.
Cannondale Synapse Hi-Mod Disc Dura Ace Di2 created 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 also emphasizes the comfort of the rider using high-quality components.
