For their latest iteration of the Synapse, Cannondale has introduced an exciting electronics integration called SmartSense. Rather than strapping on multiple separate electronic devices to your ride after the fact, the 2022 Cannondale Synapse has Garmin Varia radar and Lezyne lights built-in, all running off a single battery—depending on the model that is.
There are quite a few different models for the new Synapse, though only five of them will be offered in the U.S. And of those five, only three of them will get the full SmartSense package. Check out all the models offered here in the states, below.
R-L-E Naming Structure
Not all of the new Synapse models will include the full SmartSense package. To make it easier to know what bikes come with what, Cannondale uses a naming structure that includes the letters R, L, and E. Bikes with ‘R’ in the name will include Radar, ‘L’ denotes lights, and ‘E’ signifies that the bike includes electronic shifting.
