Product Details
Roll smooth, roll fast, roll confident. Roll with the Cannondale Synapse Carbon 2 RLE – the most comfortable, all-around, up-for-anything, pure road machine.
Comfort, handling, going long. The lightweight Synapse Carbon frameset / Full SmartSense integration with radar and lights goes the distance. Comfort is built in. Discreet flex zones in the rear triangle, seat tube and seatpost absorb road chatter and bumps without adding weight or isolating you from the ride experience.
Lightweight carbon construction. Subtle aerodynamic shaping of the frame and fork. Size-specific design for perfectly tuned stiffness. It all adds up to a machine that loves to fly.
With a comfortably balanced riding position, confidence-inspiring handling, and plenty of gear/bottle mounts, Synapse is ready to rock on any road, anywhere. The SAVE bar is also comfortable, sleek and adjustable. This vibration-absorbing handlebar offers the integrated looks of a one-piece bar/stem, with the modular adjustability of a two-piece design.
The clearance for 35mm tires lets you venture beyond the perfectly paved roads with comfort and grip - or ride through the wet season with full fenders.
Ride assured, with increased visibility and enhance awareness out on the road. The SmartSense system of intelligent lights (and optional rear-facing radar) makes it easy to ride smart and safe.
