2026 Cannondale Synapse Carbon 3 Smartsense

2026 Cannondale Synapse Carbon 3 Smartsense

Road Reimagined

Go long, go short, go fast. This is WorldTour performance for real world rides.

Model Description

The all-rounder that’s anything but average. With SRAM’s crisp-shifting wireless electronic Rival AXS 2x, SmartSense Gen 2 visibility and awareness tech, and the Synapse’s legendary ride quality, this one’s engineered to disappear beneath you—until you need it most. Whether the sun’s setting or the pace is rising, it keeps you alert, lit, and in command. Call it modern endurance with eyes in the back of its head and plenty of watts in reserve.
