Besides the near obvious answer, STRENGHTHS, with 1 syllable, 8 (6 distinct {G, H, N, R, S, T}) consonantal letters, and 1 (1 distinct {E}) vowel, there is another word that has only one vowel and a length of nine letters...

TSKTSKING, with 2 syllables, 8 (5 distinct {G, N, K, S, T}) consonantal letters, and 1 (1 distinct {I}) vowel.
