Awesome Ride - Soooo Impressed!
I couldn't be more pleased with this sweet ride! My prior bike was a Costco Diamondback Hybrid "Couch" that I was quickly out preforming on the ARBT. After many friends encouraging me to get an Up grade, my husband surprised me with this Awesome piece of machinery. Climbing became a breeze up Banister Hill and up to Beals Point. My training of endurance & speed was achieved much quicker than I thought. My true test was a Charity ride Breathe CA - Calistoga 3 day ride and Ink Grade Hill. My bike performed beautifully! I would highly recommend this bike to anyone that is looking to enjoy short or long bike rides.
Synapse excellent bike
I’ve put about 1500 miles on the synapse. Overall an excellent bike for the price.
