How the maker describes it

Comfort, handling, going long

The generation-specific SmartSense RL road page and CY2022 manual support Road Endurance. Measured 35 mm clearance meets the GnR All-road house rule; it does not change the manual's ASTM Condition 1 road-use limit.

Classification source: Cannondale ↗. Read October 17, 2026.

Verified tire clearance

35 mm. CY2022 manual p.8: measured 700c x 35 mm without fenders; 30 mm with fenders. Not the 2025 frame's clearance. All-road is GnR’s ≥35 mm Road Endurance house rule, not an industry standard.

Mounts and carrying

Hidden rack/fender mounts and removable fender bridge, per the SmartSense RL product page.

Exact CY2022 carbon chart only, not alloy Synapse, older carbon frames or the 2025 StashPort generation. Published wheelbase values are retained as printed, including the decrease at size 54; confirm with Cannondale if wheelbase is decision-critical. Frame proportions exclude cockpit and saddle setup. US price not verified.

Published frame dimensions

Lengths are in millimeters. Head angles are in degrees. Frame stack and reach do not include the stem, spacers or handlebars.

Does similar geometry mean the same fit?

Similar frame dimensions are a starting point. Saddle height and setback, seat-tube geometry, stem length and angle, headset spacers, handlebars and control position affect the completed bike. Review those details before buying.
