Award Winner
Road Reimagined
The headlight is small yet powerful, turning night into day with up to 800 lumens. A daylight function keeps you safe, while its stem-mounted design keeps the cockpit clean.
The rear radar watches your back, alerting you to approaching vehicles so you can ride with ease.
Neatly integrated into the downtube, the battery powers lights, radar, and shifting, providing up to 24 hours in flashing mode or over 12 hours in steady mode.

Features
Smarter SmartSense
Gen 2 of our intelligent lights and radar system is smaller, brighter, longer lasting, and better integrated than ever. One battery – now hidden neatly in the downtube - powers the lights, rear-facing radar, and the SRAM AXS shifting.
Big Ride Rubber
Best-in-class clearance for tires with a maximum measured width of up to 48mm in the front and 42mm in the rear - with at least 4mm of extra clearance on each side - makes Synapse a true, ride-longer, ride-whatever kind of road bike.
StashPort + StashBag
StashPort is our take on a downtube storage system, accessed beneath the water bottle cage. While every Synapse includes StashBag, a specially designed bag for tools and other ride essentials. It also houses the SmartSense battery, which provides glovebox-style lighting when StashPort cover is opened.
D-Lightful
The D-shaped design of Synapse’s seatpost enhances aerodynamics and boosts vertical compliance. Reducing muscle fatigue so that you stay fresher on those longer days.
Fly Delta
The unique-to-Cannondale v-shape Delta Steerer keeps your cockpit tidy and cables routed internally. While the reduced headtube frontal area brings aero gains to the party. As well as sleeker good looks.
SystemBar
Sleek and light, the SystemBar R-One carbon cockpit is the perfect ride command center, giving you an aero advantage, clean integration, and all-day comfort.
