Roll smooth, roll fast, roll confident — Cannondale's most comfortable, all-around, up-for-anything pure road machine.
Overview
The Synapse 3 pairs a lightweight SmartForm C2 alloy frame with a full carbon fork, giving you a genuinely comfortable ride without sacrificing the quick, responsive feel of a proper road bike.
A Shimano Sora 9-speed drivetrain with a dual-chainring FSA crank delivers dependable, easy-to-service shifting, and powerful mechanical disc brakes bring confident stopping power whatever the weather.
Wherever the road takes you, roll with Synapse — a genuinely all-around bike built for long days, mixed surfaces, and everything in between.
Why You'll Like It
A genuinely comfortable alloy frame
SmartForm C2 alloy construction is tuned for compliance, not just stiffness — a real difference on longer rides.
A full carbon fork
Takes the edge off road buzz and adds steering precision over an all-alloy front end.
Dependable, easy-to-service shifting
Shimano Sora's mechanical simplicity means fewer things to go wrong and easier maintenance on the road.
Confident mechanical disc braking
Promax Decoder R brakes bring real stopping power in all conditions, with simple cable-actuated maintenance.
Room to grow
Hidden rack and fender mounts mean this bike can take on commuting and all-weather duty as your needs change.
Who Is It For?
The Synapse 3 suits a rider who wants a genuinely comfortable, do-it-all road bike — someone starting out in road cycling, or an experienced rider who wants an alloy endurance bike for everyday miles rather than a dedicated race machine.
For Indian riders tackling mixed road surfaces or long training rides, the endurance geometry and 30mm tire clearance make a real difference to comfort over distance.
Good to Know
- Mechanical disc brakes are simpler to maintain and adjust yourself than a hydraulic system — useful if you're doing your own basic servicing.
- Hidden fender and rack mounts mean you can add practical commuting capability without altering the bike's clean look.
- A quick post-ride wipe-down of the drivetrain and brake rotors keeps everything running smoothly between services.
