Meet the Cannondale Synapse 2—the smooth, fast, confidence-boosting endurance road bike built for riders who want comfort without sacrificing performance. Its SmartForm C2 Alloy frame and full carbon fork deliver a perfectly balanced ride: light, responsive, and remarkably composed on rough pavement. Paired with Shimano’s new CUES U6000 2x10 drivetrain, you get ultra-reliable shifting, powerful hydraulic disc braking, and durability that keeps you riding farther with less fuss. DT Swiss R470 wheels and Vittoria 700x30c tires smooth out road chatter, while multiple gear mounts and 32mm tire clearance make the Synapse ready for big miles, new routes, and whatever the road throws your way. Whether you're cruising country roads or stacking endurance miles, the Synapse 2 offers the ideal blend of comfort, speed, and all-day capability—your go-anywhere, ride-forever road machine.
