It forgoes the complex internal routing through the bar and stem – a feature that has become commonplace on many of the latest road bikes, for better or worse – in favour of a simpler internal routing through a large port in the down tube, which itself has full internal channels for easier cable maintenance and replacement.Ĭannondale has also moved away from an integrated seat clamp in favour of a standard alloy ring binder and slotted seat tube. Cannondale Synapse 2022 geometryĮlsewhere on the bike, Cannondale says changes are all about making the bike easy to live with. It can also run the standard 30mm tyres with full-length road mudguards without issue, too. It now ships with 30mm tyres as standard and has clearance for 35mm tyres (with 6mm of clearance either side). However, the frame’s geometry has stayed much the same, save for a slightly longer wheelbase to accommodate larger tyre clearances.
Whereas previous incarnations of the Synapse were built with one eye on racing, with this new version the brand has shifted the Synapse far more toward the real-world rider. However, it seems that Cannondale has a different agenda for the 2022 model.
It would have been easy for Cannondale to further evolve the Synapse by applying lessons learned in the development of its SuperSix EVO and SystemSix race bikes. It is a winner of multiple awards (including our own Bike of the Year back in 2014) and even seen success at the highest level (a young Peter Sagan rode the Synapse to sixth at the Paris-Roubaix and won Gent-Wevelgem the same year). CannondaleĬannondale’s Synapse is one of the most successful designs in the endurance bike genre. Cannondale has put practicality at the heart of the Synapse, with integrated lights, 35mm tyre clearance and a threaded bottom bracket.
