The NS Bikes Synonym was among the first bikes to truly embrace progressive suspension design in the cross-country category, boasting geometry and numbers that seem almost radical for a rig with just 120mm of travel. On the trail, it performs exceptionally well — delivering an impressively confident and playful ride that stands out as the most enjoyable cross-country bike I’ve ridden to date. That said, it’s not without its shortcomings, and a few key flaws hold it back from reaching its full potential.
