Synapse Carbon 4 Road Bike - Rose Gold (2022)

Road Reimagined

Roll smooth, roll fast, roll confident. Wherever the road takes you, roll with Synapse our most comfortable, all-around, up-for-anything, pure road machine.

Key Benefits

So Smooth. With Synapse, comfort is built in. Discreet flex zones in the rear triangle, seat tube and seatpost absorb road chatter and bumps without adding weight or isolating you from the ride experience.

So Fast. Lightweight carbon construction. Subtle aerodynamic shaping of the frame and fork. Size-specific design for perfectly tuned stiffness. It all adds up to a machine that loves to fly.

So Capable. With a comfortably balanced riding position, confidence-inspiring handling, room for 35mm wide tires for cushion and grip, and plenty of gear/bottle mounts, Synapse is ready to rock on any road, anywhere.

So Brilliant. Ride assured, with increased visibility and enhanced awareness out on the road. Our SmartSense system of integrated lights and rear-facing radar makes it easy to ride smart.

Wide Ranging Capabilities

Clearance for 35mm tires lets you venture beyond the perfectly paved with comfort and grip - or ride through the wet season with full fenders.

Specially Smooth

Comfort and control you feel, not see. Everything you need for a bump-absorbing smooth ride is engineered into the frame shape and carbon layup - giving you a light, sleek ride that's unlike anything else.

Tuned for the Rider

Our Proportional Response size-specific construction creates optimal frame stiffness and compliance for eachframe size, so that every rider experiences Synapse's glorious ride feel.

Mount Up

Mounts and eyelets galore means you can equip Synapse for whatever the day has in store, including full fender compatibility. Even rain can't keep Synapse down.
