Cannondale Synapse Disc Ultegra long-term review

Jan 2021 · Felix Smith

This is an initial score and could change as I spend more time on the bike

Highs
  • Cannondale's SAVE 'micro-suspension' is incredibly effective at taming rough tarmac and the low gearing and 32mm tyre clearance encourages more adventurous cycling

Lows
  • Messy cables up front detract from the otherwise clean overall design and the wheels and tyres are lacking modern endurance spec
