Cannondale Synapse market data, updated as new sales are recorded
The Synapse is Cannondale's endurance road bike and it has been a favourite of UK sportive riders for years. It competes directly with the Trek Domane, Specialized Roubaix, and Giant Defy. With 85 used listings tracked at an average price around £3,330, it offers solid value in the endurance category.
Cannondale takes an interesting approach with the Synapse. Rather than adding suspension systems, they have focused on frame engineering to build compliance into the carbon layup itself. The frame flexes where it needs to absorb vibration and stays stiff where it needs to transfer power. It is a clean, maintenance free approach to comfort.
The latest Synapse also includes the SmartSense integrated light and radar system on some models, which is a genuine safety innovation for UK riders dealing with dark winter commutes and busy roads. Most used models sit between £1,940 and £3,910.
Smooth and composed. The Synapse soaks up road vibration through frame compliance rather than mechanical systems, and the result feels natural. There is no suspension bob or disconnected feeling. It just rides like a comfortable road bike that happens to smooth rough roads.
The geometry is relaxed enough for all day comfort without feeling sluggish. The Synapse handles well in groups, descends confidently, and climbs respectably. It is not as sharp as the SuperSix EVO but it is not trying to be. On a century ride over mixed UK roads, the Synapse is one of the most pleasant bikes you can ride.
Sportive riders and century chasers. Commuters who want a performance bike that can handle UK roads year round. Riders who prefer low maintenance simplicity over complex suspension systems. Anyone who found a race bike too uncomfortable but does not want to give up performance entirely.
The 2022 redesign brought SmartSense, dropped weight, and improved tyre clearance. These are the best Synapses yet. The 2018 to 2021 generation is still an excellent bike and significantly cheaper on the used market. Pre-2018 models are getting dated. For the best value, a 2022 Carbon 4 or a 2019 to 2020 Carbon Ultegra are strong choices.
