THE CANNONDALE SYNAPSE
The Cannondale Synapse is a dream machine for Chicago riders who crave speed, comfort, and versatility on city streets and beyond. With its lightweight carbon frame and generous tire clearance, it’s built to handle everything from Lakeshore cruises to pothole-dodging commutes. Chicago’s mix of historic boulevards, lakefront paths, and gritty urban terrain makes the Synapse a perfect fit—especially when paired with expert service from Kozy's Cyclery where riders can test ride, get fitted, and tap into a community that knows endurance riding isn’t just for the countryside. Whether you're chasing skyline views or weekend mileage, the Synapse is ready to roll.
MOUNT UP
Mounts and eyelets galore on the Synapse means you can equip it for whatever the day has in store. Your favorite bottle cages, bags and accessories are good to go.
WIDE RANGING
Wide clearance for tires lets you venture beyond the perfectly paved with comfort and grip - or ride through the wet season with full fenders.
SMOOTH
Comfort and control you feel, not see. Everything you need for a bump-absorbing smooth ride is engineered in both the carbon and aluminum frames - giving you a light, sleek ride that's unlike anything else.
SMARTSENSE
Make every ride better with enhanced visibility and awareness. The SmartSense-ready frame means it's easy to upgrade to the SmartSense system of intelligent running lights and rear-facing radar.
CARBON OR ALUMINUM
The Synapse Alloy uses an aluminum frame, offering a balance of performance, lightweight, and value. The Synapse Carbon fiber frame provides superior vibration absorption, the lightest weight and the highest performance for a smoother, more comfortable ride. Carbon is more expensive but delivers better performance and comfort, whereas alloy is more affordable and still provides a high-quality, durable ride. Components will vary on carbon and alloy models.
