With endurance features built in this is a confidence inspiring women's road bike.

Women's Endurance Geometry When you are in the saddle for hours it is important that you have are comfortable.

A slightly more upright riding position on the 6061 alloy frame helps to reduce fatigue keeping you fresh in the saddle for longer. Handling is stable and confidence-inspiring thanks to a slacker head angle and longer wheelbase. Subtle rack and mudguard mounts add versatility for commuting and winter training.

Featuring taper butted tubes, this is the same frame that is found on higher end alloy Synapse models making it worthy of future upgrades as your riding progresses. Micro-suspension Additional comfort is built into the frame with the Save Plus micro-suspension system. The seat and chainstays feature a flattened profile which allows a little vertical compliance to soak up bumps on rough road surfaces.

Horizontal stiffness is maintained for efficient power transfer and predictable handling. Carbon fork Carbon fibre fork blades are a real bonus, especially on an endurance road bike as they absorb road buzz as well as providing precise steering. SAVE fork technology adds additional comfort and matches the compliance of the rear end for a well-balanced ride.
