What is the Cannondale Synapse?
The Cannondale Synapse is an endurance road bike designed to deliver all-day comfort. And do it, importantly, without sacrificing speed or handling.
Every aspect of its design is for riders who spend long hours in the saddle. Whether on solo training rides, weekend group rides, or Gran Fondos.
The Synapse smooths out rough roads, climbs efficiently and descends with confidence.
With its stable handling, vibration-damping features, and easy gears the Synapse connects the gap between a race bike and touring bike.
It makes it a versatile choice for cyclists who value and prioritise performance and comfort. And makes the Synapse perfect for a variety of road conditions.
The Cannondale Synapse suits experienced riders looking to tackle big distances. Or a newer cyclist after a forgiving and easy to handle road bike.
Cannondale Synapse is built for Endurance
The Synapse's frame and geometry is built for comfort, control and stability over long distances.
What this means is:
- A taller head tube
- Slightly shorter top tube
- Slacker head angle (compared to aggressive race bikes)
- Longer wheelbase
- Lower centre-of-gravity
- Clearance for larger tyres
The result?
A more relaxed riding position. One that reduces strain on the rider’s neck, shoulders, and lower back.
Meaning you're more comfortable producing power over a longer period of time.
The Synapse improves stability and handling too. Especially on uneven or unpredictable road surfaces.
It allows for confident descending, steady cornering, and a planted feel during long climbs. And fast descents.
Synapse Frame Options
Higher-end Synapse models are built with Cannondale’s proprietary carbon fibre layups. These include their BallisTec Carbon and top-tier LAB71 carbon.
These frames are engineered for an optimal balance of stiffness, flex and weight savings.
Carbon versions of the Synapse feature integrated flex zones in the frame and fork.
Cannondale’s SAVE (Synapse Active Vibration Elimination) technology absorbs road buzz and offers a smoother ride.
Riders who value low weight, responsive handling and maximum comfort over rough surfaces will appreciate the ride quality of the Synapse Carbon models.
For those seeking a more budget-friendly option the Synapse alloy models are an excellent choice. Cannondale does not compromise on the quality of their alloy frames.
The Synapse Carbon range starts with the Synapse Carbon 4.
These use SmartForm C2 alloy construction. It's hydroformed for precision, strength, and weight savings. And not your average alloy.
The alloy Synapse maintains the endurance-focused design and geometry found in the carbon models too. And the Synapse 2 and Synapse 3 include carbon forks to help absorb road vibration.
These models offer durability, and ride comfort, making them ideal for newer riders or those upgrading from a more basic road bike. Plus, they are currently exceptional value.
