Per their site the Synergy is $1399 with an introductory $100 discount to $1299. If correct then it is $200 to $300 more than the new Swobo Baxter with the Alfine hub and disc brakes. $200 to $300 extra for the brifter and drop bars. Both are listed as aluminum frames and CF forks.

The Synergy does claim to be quite light at 21 pounds but no indication of the frame size this applies to. It sounds like a very light IGH bike. The Swobo is listed as 3 pounds heavier. It also has clearance for fenders, something the Synergy does not appear to offer. The weight difference to me appears to be primarily due to the Swobo's disc brakes and chainguard.

I would note too that the Swobo has 6 sizes listed versus 4 on the Dynamic and much more detailed frame geometry specs are listed. The sizes listed for the Dynamic frames versus rider height seem to me to be questionable as they list a 55cm frame, with a 57.9cm top tube as the correct size for a rider up to 6'4". Frame sizing appears to be on the small side compared to what I am accustomed to.

I am not asociated in any way with either company other than owning a Swobo Dixon. I just carried home two full paper sacks of groceries on it using a pair of REI shopping panniers and a Topeak Super Tourist DX rack.
