Cannondale Synapse Claris 8 Womens 2016 - Road Bike

Quick and comfortable the Cannondale Synapse Claris 8 Womens offers a stable and confidence inspiring ride. Built for speed and comfort this road bike is ideal for long distance adventures and fast commuting.

Women’s Endurance Geometry

Providing a slightly more upright riding position the Synapse features a taller head tube, slacker head angle and longer wheelbase when compared to a pure ladies race bike. Confidence inspiring without being sluggish the Synapse is more comfortable on long rides.

Subtle Rack and mudguard mounts add to the the versatility of this high quality frame which is the same as you’ll find on higher end women's Synapse models.

Micro-suspension

Much of the comfort provided is thanks to the Save Plus micro-suspension system. The seat and chainstays have a flattened profile which allows them to flex vertically to absorb bumps from the road. Horizontal stiffness is maintained for efficient power transfer and predictable handling.

Carbon Fork

Providing sharp, precise handling the carbon fibre fork blades also absorb vibrations from uneven road surfaces. In addition to this the fork offers additional compliance that adds comfort and complements the rear end without compromising steering precision.

Reliable gear shifting

Featuring an FSA compact chainset the Shimano Claris 2x8 speed drivetrain offers a wide range of gear ratios so that you can take on all the hills and descents on your route.

With its high-quality endurance road bike frame the Cannondale Synapse Claris 8 Women’s is ready for adventure and worthy of future upgrades as your riding progresses.
