Cannondale Synapse 2

So Smooth

With Synapse Alloy, comfort is built in. Synapse Alloy’s frame tubes are shaped and butted with absolute precision to help absorb road chatter and bumps without adding weight or isolating you from the ride experience.

So Comfortable

Synapse Alloy moves with both pace and grace. A comfortable riding position, planted handling, and the wonderful responsiveness of alloy under power, all create a bike that will help you feel in control and get more out of every ride.

So Capable

Synapse’s comfort and confidence brings utility, too. Balanced geometry, plenty of gear/bottle mounts, and clearance for 32mm wide tires that bring cushion and grip, mean Synapse is ready to rock on any road.

So Ready

Don’t sweat the small stuff. Synapse comes with a Contain top tube bag on some models. It’s easy to load and easy to reach while you’re riding. Bring snacks, tools, a map, or whatever else will help you go farther.

Wide Ranging Capabilities

Clearance for up to 32mm tires, with a big 6mm of room on each side, lets you venture beyond the pavement with comfort and grip - or ride thorough the wet season with full fenders.

Specially Smooth

Comfort and control you feel, not see. Everything you need for a bump-absorbing ride is engineered into the frame's tube shapes and alloy construction - giving you a light, smooth, and sleek ride you have to feel to believe.

Mount up

Mounts and eyelets galore on Synapse Alloy means you can gear up for whatever the day, week or month has in store. Your favourite bottle cages, gear bags, and accessories are good to go.

SmartSense Compatible

Make every ride better with enhanced visibility and awareness. The SmartSense-compatible Synapse Alloy frame means it's easy to upgrade to our system of intelligent running lights and rear-facing radar.

Contain Toptube Bag

Easy to load, easy to reach. A Contain Toptube Bag is included, mounted just behind the headtube, so you can have what you need, right when you need it.

Trainer Ready

Synapse Alloy will help you push hard, on or off the road. Synapse comes with easy-to-install end caps, making it quick and simple to mount the bike on a trainer.
