The Details

The Cannondale Synapse 2 RL carbon road bike is one of the brand's most comfortable, all round, up-for-anything road machines. The 3L comes with a Shimano Ultegra, 11-speed groupset, Synapse Carbon Proportional Response size-specific frame and fork with internal cable routing and Shimano Ultegra hydraulic disk brakes.

Versatility sums the Synapse up - this bike will give you smooth, fast and confident road cycling joy.  The Cannondale Synapse road bike has comfort built in from the beginning. It's a lightweight carbon endurance road bike which has been designed for speed and capability without isolating you from the ride experience. 

With the carbon construction, Cannondale have subtly shaped the frame and the fork to provide top of the class aerodynamics. Size specific design gives perfectly tuned stiffness, which all adds up to a machine which loves to fly. 

Ready for anything, Cannondale have worked a comfortably based riding position and confidence-inspired handling into the bike. There's room for 35mm wide tyre should you want extra cushion and grip. Plenty of gear and bottle mounts are there too.  

This perfectly thought through endurance bike is finished with the Cannondale SmartSense system of integrated lights and rear-facing radar which helps to increase visibility and enhance awareness of the road.
