Road Reimagined

 

On the Cannondale Synapse Carbon 3 SmartSense SRAM Rival AXS 12 Speed Disc Road Bike, go long, go short, go fast. This is WorldTour performance for real world rides.

Model Description

 

The Cannondale Synapse Carbon 3 SmartSense SRAM Rival AXS 12 Speed Disc Road Bike is an all-rounder that’s anything but average. With SRAM’s crisp-shifting wireless electronic Rival AXS 2x, SmartSense Gen 2 visibility and awareness tech, and the Synapse’s legendary ride quality, this one’s engineered to disappear beneath you—until you need it most. Whether the sun’s setting or the pace is rising, it keeps you alert, lit, and in command. Call it modern endurance with eyes in the back of its head and plenty of watts in reserve.

What it's for

 

The Cannondale Synapse Carbon 3 SmartSense SRAM Rival AXS 12 Speed Disc Road Bike is great for comfortable high-performance road riding, long distance missions, and fast group rides

 

Highlights

 

  • Lightweight, smoothly compliant, sleekly aero Synapse carbon frameset with StashPort downtube storage
  • SmartSense Gen 2 - Enhanced visibility and awareness from the sleekly integrated system of lights and radar
  • SRAM's workhorse Rival AXS group - precise, reliable wireless electronic shifting
  • Powerful, controllable braking from SRAM Rival hydraulic disc brakes
  • Cannondale C1 Aero 27 Carbon seatpost - speed meets comfort
  • DT Swiss E 1800 Spline - light, durable and fast endurance wheelset

 

  • Real World Performance - Designed to go fast, built to go long, and made to keep you comfortable, the Synapse redefines road performance. With a lightweight frame featuring wind-tunnel-sculpted tubing and PB-blasting stiffness-to-weight, it’s a bike that’s ready for anything you demand of it. Just ask Lachlan Morton why he trusted it for his record-smashing lap of Australia. Unreal speed, engineered for real-world roads.
  • Ride Confident - More visibility, more awareness, more integration, with our next-gen SmartSense system. All running from a single concealed battery. Intelligent lights adapt to let other road users know you’re there. While the rear-facing Garmin radar keeps you switched on to approaching traffic. Letting you ride the bike that’s up for anything, whatever time of day or night. 
  • Compliant Comfort - With advancements in our carbon layup, our engineers have made the new Synapse 20% more compliant than its already butter-smooth predecessor, ensuring you feel 100% more comfortable even on the roughest roads.
  • Like a Glove - A great fit and feel makes for a great ride. And with our Proportional Response Construction, every rider gets that as standard. From the carbon layup through to the geometry, everything on Synapse has been tuned and tested by frame size. So that your bike works in harmony with you to give the best possible ride for you and your height.
  • Bring it All, Bring it On!  -  Our all-new StashPort storage system in the downtube is there when you need it and hidden when you don’t. Paired with its StashBag buddy, you can bring along your ride essentials and know that they’ll be secure, whatever you get up to out there. Meanwhile, best-in-class tire clearance lets you take the idea of riding for longer to a whole new level.
