Great cycling deals on saddles, supplements and a Synapse

Cannondale's Synapse Disc bike - which we gave 9/10 - tops today's DealCatcher + Selle Italia & SiS...

We've got a bike in today's DealCatcher for you that we think offers the ultimate year-round riding experience - well our tech editor David Arthur thought so when he gave it 9/10 lasts year.

The Cannondale Synapse Disc is the bike in question, and it's not alone in today's round-up of top quality cycling deals.

Joining the Synapses is Selle Italia's C2 Gel Saddle, which - like the Synapse - will keep your rides comfortable all year round.

Finally you'll be able to get your hands on a great bundle of cycling nutrition bits for a bargain price from Science in Sport. Their Lite Bundle gives you the chance to try a selection of their great cycling supplements without committing to kilos of the stuff.

 

Evans Cycles

First up is the Synapse. Over at Evans Cycles the SRAM RED 22-equipped edition is currently experiencing a massive discount, one we really don't think you should miss out on if you're looking to splash out on a bike that'll see you right all year round.

David Arthur road the Shimano Ultegra totting version of the Synapse Disc, so you might want to overlook the groupset section of the review below. First though, check out Mat Brett's impressions of the SRAM RED 22 groupset by following the link immediately below:

David's impressions of the Synapse Disc were wholly positive. He said: "The Synapse offers a classy ride, loads of smoothness with enough performance for cyclists who aren't interested in racing but still like to ride fast and challenge themselves, with more than enough speed easily accessible to keep ever die hard racers happy."

 

Vanilla Bikes

40% off  Selle Italia's C2 Gel Saddle
WAS £57.99 | NOW £34.99

Sell Italia's saddles pop up all over the place, a couple of weeks ago we featured a Colnago AC-R in a DealCatcher which was topped off with a Selle Italia X1 saddle.

We've reviewed numerous Selle Italia saddles, and they rarely if ever, dip below the 7/10 threshold for quality.

Suffice to say, you're getting quality when you buy Selle Italia, and you'll often pay for that privelidge.

Not today. Today, the Selle Italia C2 Gel, with its shock absorbing silicone gel pad and lightweight structure, is cheap.

Finally, if you're looking to improve the way you feel while you're riding, or after you're riding, this deal is for you.

Without having to commit to the big prices and big sizes of a lot of nutrition deals, the Lite Bundle offered here for £17.99 by the guys over at Science in Sport will give you the chance to try before you buy.

For a small outlay you'll get a 500g tub of Lemon and Lime GO Electrolyte mix, a 500g tub of strawberry flavoured REGO Rapid Recovery protein powder, a 6-pack of blackcurrant GO Isotonic Energy Gels, 3 mint chocolate & 3 chocolate and peanut butter Protein Bars.

You'll also get an 800ml SiS water bottle. Bargain.

The synapse carbon frame is the star of the show on these bikes. Not the lightest (but not heavy) but it's so compliant - stiff, great acceleration, fastest descending bike I've ever ridden.

Synapse is £2999 not £2299 as stated in the article. Still a good deal though and one I may have considered if I didn't already have the 2014 version, without discs. It really is a superb piece of kit.
