I scoured through the Topstone geometry (i'm considering buying one) and i can find essentially nothing in common with the Synapse.
If anything it's more like a CAADX with better cable routing, a sloping top tube and a bit more BB drop (although the BB height is only 3mm diff)

It's more the fact that while the Topstone geometry is closer to a CAADX (especially the head angle and fork rake), It very much aim to a similar crowd as the Synapse alu.

From what I understand it’s basically a synapse with more tire clearance so the bb is a bit low and cable routing might not be ideal. Having said that, I’ve done CX on a trek domane and it’s made zero difference - because I’m still shit
