For your reference, this page contains historical product information.

Offering comfort in a speedy package, the Cannondale Synapse 5 compact road bike combines an aluminum frame and carbon blade fork for a nimble, responsive ride.

  • Constructed of lightweight T6061 aluminum, Synapse frame geometry is designed to promote stable handling and enhance comfort
  • Carbon fork, shaped chainstays and slightly bent seatstays employ Synapse Active Vibration Elimination (S.A.V.E.) technology to effectively dampen road vibration
  • FSA Omega compact crankset drives a Shimano 105 group for seamless shifts across the 12-27 cassette, leaving you to hammer away as you please
  • Tektro R538 dual-pivot caliper brakes provide quick deceleration
  • Shimano wheels are outfitted with puncture-resistant Maxxis Fuse tires for more ride time and less down time
  • Cockpit is outfitted with Cannondale goodies, including a carbon-wrapped seatpost that's topped with a cushy San Marco Ponza Power saddle
  • Specs are subject to change

After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

Made in USA.
