The new Cannondale Synapse endurance is claimed to be lighter and stiffer than the previous version, and will only be available with disc brakes. Outwardly the new Cannondale Synapse may look very similar to the previous model, however appearances can be deceptive. The new platform is a completely different bike, with a completely different lay up and several subtle but significant differences, the main being that the new model will only be available with disc brakes.
