Cannondale Synapse Carbon 2 RL review

A superb endurance bike that brings something new to the genre

Our review

The new Synapse is a refined endurance bike that’s easy to live with and brings safety-enhancing tech as standard

Pros: Supple smoothness wrapped around swift, exciting handling; clever tech brings day and night safety

Cons: Not everyone will want all of the equipment; alloy components and middleweight wheels feel like a downgrade

The Cannondale Synapse has helped define the endurance bike genre for more than a decade and this latest iteration provides a familiar blend of performance and comfort, with a fresh focus on practicality.

That means the Synapse now has clearance for 35mm tyres and a threaded bottom bracket but, more significantly, it comes with Cannondale’s integrated SmartSense light and sensor system.

We’ve covered all the finer details in our 2022 Cannondale Synapse news story, so here I’ll focus on the key changes and, more importantly, the performance of the mid-range Synapse Carbon 2 RL.

It offers all the smoothness of a Synapse, with exciting handling, and the clever tech brings an element of additional safety to rides, though not everyone will want those add-ons and some of the component choices on this model feel like a downgrade.
