Cannondale Synapse Claris (2016)

The 2016 Cannondale Synapse Claris is an entry-level road bike. Designed for casual, newer, or long-distance cyclists, its relaxed geometry is complemented by the aluminum and carbon construction, offering a smooth, comfortable ride, efficient but not jarring. Wheels are clad in Schwalbe Luganos, fast-rolling and low profile, light in every sense of the word. Kit is reliable and durable, excellent for the low price point: Shimano's Claris group provides shifting and controls, Tektro the brakes, and Cannondale the cockpit.
A very good starter road bike.
