Cannondale Synapse Carbon 2 LE
Details
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.
Synapse Carbon 2 LE features a lightweight carbon frameset, SmartSense system with front and rear lights, Shimano's 105 Di2 12-speed groupset with hydraulic brakes and the reliable DT Swiss R470 wheels.
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.
Shimano 105 Di2 utilizes a wireless cockpit paired with a wired connection between a single, seat-tube-stored battery and the front and rear derailleurs, ensuring absolute reliability in all conditions.
Just like Dura-Ace and Ultegra, the 105 Di2 system is highly customizable using Shimano’s E-TUBE PROJECT Cyclist App on your smartphone. With the app, you can set-up your drivetrain just the way you like it, adjusting shift speed, altering the number of shifts per button actuation, and utilizing Synchronized and Semi-Synchro shifting functionality.
You can also pair the system with third party cycling computers such as Garmin and Wahoo, which allow you to monitor gear selection and battery status.
It all works together, and connects to a single powerful battery, for ease of use and simplicity. It can easily be controlled from your Cannondale App, too. Using Garmin's Varia technology, SmartSense lets you worry less, so you can focus on your ride more.
Clearance for 35mm tires lets you venture beyond the perfectly paved with comfort and grip - or ride through the wet season with full fenders.
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.
