The all-new Cannondale Synapse shares many of its architectural and design cues with the current SuperSix Evo – and that's a good thing, as desirability and performance are central to the new bike. Cannondale even views the new Synapse on the same level as the SuperSix Evo, claiming it melds WorldTour-level aerodynamics and stiffness with generous clearance for wider road bike tyres, compliance, and features that appeal to the general rider. These attributes are evident in the aesthetics, geometry, and the way it rides.
The bike pictured here, however, is the range-topping Synapse Lab71 SmartSense, an endurance bike that turns the performance and desirability dial up to 11. At £13,000, it will appeal to the endurance rider looking for the exclusivity the Lab71 moniker brings to the table, but this also places it out of reach for most.
