Summary
The Cannondale Synapse is celebrated for its exceptional blend of comfort and performance, making it a standout in the endurance category. Its SAVE micro-suspension system and ability to fit up to 32mm tires ensure a smooth ride over rough surfaces, while its lightweight frame and updated geometry offer a racy feel. The bike excels in both climbing and descending, with sharp steering and stability at high speeds, though some may find rivals like the Specialized Roubaix and Trek Domane better suited for cobbled surfaces.

"The SystemBar’s ergonomic and elliptical Save bar shape feels great in the hands and provides riders more deflection than a standard bar," says David Devine, Cannondale senior product manager, road, on the new Save components.
