2026 Cannondale Synapse Carbon 2
Road Reimagined
Go long, go short, go fast. This is WorldTour performance for real world rides.
Model Description
Smooth. Precise. And built to stay that way. Synapse Carbon 2 Di2 pairs an endurance-optimised carbon frame with Shimano’s peerless Ultegra Di2 shifting and the race-bred DT Swiss ERC 45 wheelset. Designed for the rider who appreciates the feel of a fast bike built to go the distance—and the silence of a drivetrain that’s always in the right gear. Add in massive tire clearance and sleek integration, and it’s clear: this thing’s more than ready.
What it's for
Comfortable high-performance road riding, long distance missions, fast group rides
Highlights
- Lightweight, smoothly compliant, sleekly aero Synapse carbon frameset with StashPort downtube storage
- Ultegra Di2 – Effortlessly accurate shifting from Shimano's penultimate electronic 12-speed drivetrain
- DT Swiss carbon road wheels - lightweight all-road capability
- Cannondale C1 Aero 27 Carbon seatpost - speed meets comfort
- Fizik Vento Argo R5 saddle - ergonomic comfort with pressure relieving cutout
