The RLE - radar, lights, electronic drivetrain - on the Cannondale Synapse RLE is nearly cool, but not all-the-way cool. Why? It straddles the line of integration and incompatibility. What do you think? Are you happy to have lights and a radar permanently affixed to your bike?
The Synapse itself is an excellent endurance road bike with a plush ride, room for up to 35mm tires, and the kind of stretched-out top tube geometry that other companies are calling progressive.
