Ahh, the open road. The Cannondale Synapse Neo AL 2 electric bike has hill-leveling power, all-day range and true endurance machinery to make the beauty of road riding fun and accessible.
- The Bosch Generation 3 Active Line Plus is the perfect drive unit for e-road; its silent, powerful, light and has virtually no drag when the motor cuts out
- The big 500Wh PowerTube battery integrates cleanly into the downtube and packs enough energy for even the longest days, so it can get you home
- Synapse Neo is the only Bosch-equipped road bike compatible with a double chainring crank, so you can always find the right gear to make the most of the power you have
- OutFront Geometry delivers high-speed stability with a quick, nimble road-bike feel; plus, it reduces the chance of toe overlap with the front wheel on smaller sizes
- A classic endurance rider position, road-smoothing 700x32c tires and Cannondale's SAVE Micro-Suspension keep you comfortably in control on even the longest, roughest days
