Cannondale Synapse Claris Alloy Road Bike 2016

You could not choose a better starter road bike for a fast but comfortable ride that will give you the perfect access point without breaking the bank, than the Cannondale Synapse Claris Alloy Road Bike 2016.

Cannondale Endurance geometry offers a balanced yet engaging ride. This geometry uses a 2-2.5 centimetre taller head tube, a more relaxed head angle and longer wheelbase than the Cannondale Elite geometry range. The frame also features innovative, SAVE PLUS micro-suspension technology to provide a smooth and comfortable ride. A feature packed bike with a Synapse Alloy, Optimised 6061 Alloy frame paired with a Synapse SAVE, carbon bladed fork and Shimano's, 8-speed, Claris 2400 groupset for crisp and reliable shifting.

A reliable and stylish FSA Vero compact crankset offers a double chainring setup and features an FSA cartridge bottom bracket.

An upgraded and even more durable Maddux RS 3.0, 32-hole rim has been combined with Cannondale C4 hubs to provide a responsive and lighter weight wheelset for this year that will not let you down. This is adorned with Schwalbe Lugano 25mm tyres that offer immense puncture protection and grip in both the wet and dry.

Tektro dual pivot, long reach brakes provide excellent stopping power as well as allowing the necessary clearance for mudguards, which the frame features the necessary mounts for. This allows you to commute or ride all year round without the drenching that road spray can cause.

Cannondale have used their C4 range for the compact alloy handlebar, 6-degree stem and 25.4 millimetre wide seat post, which adds comfort and minimises road buzz.

Comfort is further enhanced with gel incorporated Cannondale Grip Bar Tape and a Cannondale Stage Ergo saddle to finish off what is a sensational road bike.
