Cannondale Synapse Tiagra Disc 6 2015 - Road Bike
Bike Weight - 9.2kg (56cm frame tested, no pedals)
The Synapse Tiagra Disc is a very capable long distance machine ready for sportive rides, commuting, fitness and leisure on a range of road surfaces. Needless to say, it's versatile.
The quality alloy frame with Tiagra drivetrain is very affordable - especially as it can be purchased through Cycle 2 Work for a healthy tax reduction, and who doesn't want that.
Frame & Fork
At this price point the frame is high quality. Optimized 6061 aluminium alloy (single butted) is ideal for road biking - light, stiff and strong. Cannondale haven't compromised on comfort though, thanks to SAVE PLUS micro-suspension in the rear stay assembly. This soaks up road buzz whilst staying rigid for great cornering and power transfer.
Geometry is spot-on too with a taller head tube (compared with their SuperSix race models), gentler sloping top tube, slightly relaxed head angle and longer wheelbase. This puts you into a more upright position, but which is lively and stable...definitely not sluggish.
A carbon bladed fork with SAVE technology provides extra front end stiffness with road buzz dampening for extra comfort. This fork also improve steering precision - great on the open-road, or in a busy urban commute.
Rack and fender mounts give a nod towards the versatility and commuter capabilities.
Components
Cannondale have spec'd the Tiagra well too with a Shimano Tiagra drivetrain - capable, reliable and durable for efficient gearing and shifting. Promax Render R mechanical disc brakes provide powerful stopping in all conditions - even the wettest and dirtiest track. This opens up new terrain to ride including chip seal, gravel and dirt.
