Size Guides are a great way to help you find the right bike, but we always recommend visiting our store to view and sit on the bike in person where possible or speaking to our advice team.

This Size Guide is based on an average build, if you have shorter arms or longer legs for example you will need to consider this when purchasing a bike. If you are between sizes, we always recommend sizing down as a smaller bike can be made bigger with adjustments. Stem length, Saddle height, Handlebar width and even Crank length can be changed to achieve the ideal riding position. See here for our general bike sizing guide.

Professional Opinion
Real World Performance
Designed to go fast, built to go long, and made to keep you comfortable, the Synapse redefines road performance. With a lightweight frame featuring wind-tunnel-sculpted tubing and PB-blasting stiffness-to-weight, it’s a bike that’s ready for anything you demand of it. Just ask Lachlan Morton why he trusted it for his record-smashing lap of Australia. Unreal speed, engineered for real-world roads.​

Compliant Comfort
With advancements in our carbon layup, our engineers have made the new Synapse 20% more compliant than its already butter-smooth predecessor, ensuring you feel 100% more comfortable even on the roughest roads.

Like A Glove
A great fit and feel makes for a great ride. And with our Proportional Response Construction, every rider gets that as standard. From the carbon layup through to the geometry, everything on Synapse has been tuned and tested by frame size. So that your bike works in harmony with you to give the best possible ride for you and your height.

Bring it all, bring it on
Our all-new StashPort storage system in the downtube is there when you need it and hidden when you don’t. Paired with its StashBag buddy, you can bring along your ride essentials and know that they’ll be secure, whatever you get up to out there. Meanwhile, best-in-class tire clearance lets you take the idea of riding for longer to a whole new level.
