COVID-19 Important collection and delivery information
Where delivery times are stated as a month this is based on the latest information from the manufacturer. These dates should be treated as a guide and may be subject to change. Due to an increase in global demand for bicycles and the disruption in supply during the COVID-19 pandemic supply chains have become very strained. Lead times are based on factory and shipping schedules both of which can be disrupted by delays in component supply and shipping/port capacity.
Should you place a future order with us for a bicycle we will monitor the bike’s ETA and keep you informed of any changes.

Description
This Cannondale Synapse Carbon 2 RLE Quicksand is available with our legendary Podium Point free accessory scheme.
Road Reimagined: Roll smooth, roll fast, roll confident. Wherever the road takes you, roll with Synapse - Cannondale's most comfortable, all-around, up-for-anything, pure road machine.
The all new Synapse not only includes an updated frameset but also benefits from the integration of a rear facing Radar and front and rear Lights, as well as an Electronic gear system. Developed in conjunction with Garmin and Leyzne, this integrated components not only offer the latest in cycling technology but mean your Synapse is always ready for anything..
With Synapse, 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.
So Fast. 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.
So Capable. With a comfortably balanced riding position, confidence-inspiring handling, room for 35mm wide tires for cushion and grip, and plenty of gear/bottle mounts, Synapse is ready to rock on any road, anywhere.
So Brilliant. Ride assured, with increased visibility and enhanced awareness out on the road. Cannondale's SmartSense system of integrated lights and rear-facing radar makes it easy to ride smart.
Synapse Technologies
Wide Ranging Capabilities - Clearance for 35mm tires lets you venture beyond the perfectly paved with comfort and grip - or ride through the wet season with full fenders.
Specially Smooth - Comfort and control you feel, not see. Everything you need for a bump-absorbing smooth ride is engineered into the frame shape and carbon layup - giving you a light, sleek ride that's unlike anything else.
Tuned for the Rider - Cannondale's Proportional Response size-specific construction creates optimal frame stiffness and compliance for each frame size, so that every rider experiences Synapse's glorious ride feel.
Mount Up - Mounts and eyelets galore means you can equip Synapse for whatever the day has in store, including full fender compatibility. Even rain can't keep Synapse down.
SmartSense Equipped - SmartSense is connected and ready from the first spin of the wheel, so you can hit the road with the peace of mind of intelligent lights and radar. More visibility. Better awareness. Less pre-ride fiddling.
IMPORTANT: This bicycle is supplied without pedals. Pedals for this bicycle can be selected for no cost using Podium Points™.

Sizing information is provided as a general guide only. This is based on the average rider riding the bicycle in the style for which it is intended. This takes no account of a rider's personal proportions, physique, flexibility and biomechanics. If your height places you on, or near, a bicycle size step then we recommend you consider both sizes. All bicycles offer a range of handlebar and saddle adjustment which will enable you to fine tune your riding position once the correct size has been established. If you are unsure on sizing, we strongly recommend you visit our store so we can assist you. Pedal On offers advice and information on sizing in good faith, the final decision and responsibility on which size to purchase is yours.
