About the build

The drivetrain is built predominantly around Elite, with just the cassette swapped for a Performance alternative. Judged purely on component level, this is priced above average for a road bike — which says nothing about geometry, fit or how it rides. Geometry figures are missing from the manufacturer, so there's no fit or handling assessment here.

Manufacturer's description

This is the top of the family tree—where race-bike ambition meets deluxe real-world rideability. LAB71 Synapse is sculpted from our superlight Hi-MOD carbon, engineered for rides that last longer than your playlists. SRAM RED AXS XPLR gives you gear choice for anywhere, and the power meter keeps you honest. Top of the range Reserve 42|49 wheels roll like silk, SmartSense Gen 2 keeps the world aware you’re out there, and our StashPort system carries what matters when the day stretches on. Call it fast. Call it refined. Call it ready to disappear under you, while always standing out.
