The Cannondale Synapse is the ultimate endurance road bike series, designed to enhance your riding experience with cutting-edge technology. Equipped with the innovative Cannondale SmartSense system, this bike integrates a range of smart features, including a built-in battery, radar unit, front and rear lights—all seamlessly housed within the down tube.
Additionally, beneath the saddle, you’ll find another rear light and radar system. These radars are engineered to detect vehicles approaching from behind, measure their distance, and transmit the data to a display mounted on the handlebars. This intuitive setup uses LED lights to alert riders to potential hazards, ensuring safety even in low-light conditions.
When it comes to model naming, the Synapse series uses specific abbreviations to denote its advanced features. The letters R, L, and E stand for Radar, Light, and Electronic shifting systems, respectively, giving each model a unique identity based on its capabilities.
Among these offerings, the Synapse Carbon 1 RLE stands out as the crown jewel of the lineup. Built with a lightweight carbon fiber frame and fork, this flagship model boasts a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 electronic shifting system for unparalleled precision. Designed with versatility in mind, it offers a maximum tire clearance of 35mm, allowing for greater comfort and grip on various terrains.
The bike is further enhanced by HollowGram 45 SL KNØT carbon wheels and Vittoria Corsa tan wall tires (700x30c), delivering a perfect balance of speed and stability. With a total weight of approximately 8.3KG (for a 56cm frame), this bike combines performance and elegance like no other.
