I won't be upgrading any time soon, very happy with my 6.4 kg 2012 Cannondale Supersix Evo, sporting 11 speed DA 9000 mechanical, rim brakes and a Garmin Varia radar light on the rear, still my favourite and fastest bike I own or have ridden. 🚴.

Always avoid proprietary parts on bikes.

@jonwyma4035 2 года назад

I bought the 2022 Carbon 3L (lights but no radar). After 3 years of commuting and dealing with charging multiple components, this bike has been a game changer. I don’t agree with all the negative comments although I do understand them. For me, leaving my house at 4:30 am means that I am often very sleepy when getting ready to leave. I have had many rides where one light or all lights didn’t get charged overnight and I end up riding in the dark. My commute is 20 km each way. In the summer, I am completely drained and brain dead when I get home on a hot day. It will be so helpful to only have one battery to think of charging. Aside from the tech, this bike is a dream to ride. If you are a commuter - especially one that travels a fair distance every day - the bike and the tech will be worth every penny you spend.

We have a lot of those bike paths with very light gravel here in Germany. I ride them with my road bike and 25mm tyres all the time and never flat but if I did have rim breaks I would need to worry about my carbon rims. Disc breaks on these Endurance Bikes seems like a good idea to me nowadays.

@tobycolin6271 2 года назад

I regularly ride tow paths lanes and trails on my steel road bike as long as it’s fully wet and the mud isn’t sticking I can ride them on my steel Giant peleton. I always amazed at how little tyre you actually need on rolling terrain at speeds above 3mph and below 10mph there’s very little you can’t ride on 25mmroad tyres.

@einundsiebenziger5488 2 года назад

@OliverScheffer-Photography 2 года назад

I like the idea, but the bulky powerpack is a no-go. Cannondale should have implemented a storage compartement like the Trek Domane has in the down tube and put the battery there. Shouldn't be a problem to take it out for charging.

@robertcatuara5118 2 года назад

My fix: Battery should be flush with the frame so it's invisible like the Scott (I think) front brake cover. Install USB ports into the frame instead of lights. That way you can connect your own lights or remove them as you want. Add a few more for cell phone, computer charging. Voila!

@MozOnBikes 2 года назад

Not the biggest blunder, that would have been their motor cross bike that sank the original company! Not a bad bike, lots of good aspects. But I feel the product doesn’t quite hit the target market accurately, for example they need to solve the issue of where to store a spare tube, lever, c02 etc not the saddle bags a non option. Plus 350 lumens isn’t really bright enough to ride unlit streets. If I were them I’d make a Specialized swat style box that integrates the battery above the BB and allows storage for spare tube etc. Or just sell a battery-less/lightless version…Actually just checked the base model is without lights. But looks weird with the battery dent in the down tube…I feel your right, it’s almost a fantastic bike but the integration of lights throws up questions that leaves you feeling disappointed.

@jonnythelegs2597 2 года назад

Would probably be easier or better just to integrate the mounts and design a range of lights to compliment the the lines of the bike and offer the lights separately so they can offer updates and upgrades in the future. I know cannondale like to do things their own way its actually something I quite like about them but its sent them in to receivership a number of times.

I have wireless security sistem on my bike, never needs charging. It's called mirror. On serious side, I have idea for safety. One blinker that will be on every disc brake bike. Use disc to generate electricity during braking and install flashing Led on calipers. If you get all big manufacturers to make this price would be negledabille, so would the weight.

@elchram 2 года назад

I don‘t think that they target the enthusiastic cycling fanatic, but more the 30-50 year old, academics, working in good payed jobs that want a stylish, practical commuter, but do not want an e-bike for their 20-30min commuting ride in the city. This is probably a larger segment than the people in the same age group with the same income that want a race bike (they probably splash out on a titanium custom bike and not a cannondale). However, with the move to more standard and reliable parts (bb, seatpost, fender mounts and radar) they appeal to the hassle free (simple = clean) and safety needs of this segment (probably they have kids ant want get rolled over by a bus). And if you are fit enough you can still go out on a long ride on the weekend… Let us see how it sells.

@glennoc8585 2 года назад

If you don't want to get rolled by a bus don't risk riding a bicycle in traffic. A radar will not change the route or drivers awareness. The guy with the radar probably wear ninja black clothing

@robertlara1272 2 года назад

I just bought the $2,400 model because it did not have any of the tech on it. I just wanted that all- road frameset. The new Synapse with 35mm tire clearance (32c cyclocross tires?), comfort built in- makes for a nice inexpensive all- road bike. But, I will be stripping it down to the headset and rebuilding it with upgraded parts and wheels that I have sitting around. I did the same thing with the Black On Black 2016 Supersix Evo (When they first started using the straight blade carbon fork and extra tire clearance). A great fail- Remember their built in crankset powermeter that a customer had an option to activate for $500 after they purchased the bike?

@billcooper2798 2 года назад

Cdale should have made the light and radar an option and if people liked it no harm no foul. And of course the price is always a problem these days! Hopefully they will see to much tech can be pain. Let the tec people have fun but have the choice of a traditional way.

@paddydunne774 2 года назад

Worse thing you can do is ask people What they would want or use. To many variables. Cannondale have such a potted history of getting a bike so right and yet let it down by some quirky add on that isn’t for everyone. Kudos for giving it a go though. Going back to the 4S crosser which was an awesome motor. The mapping was spot on. But then you ask someone else and they’d say it was crap. Same with the Slate great drop bar ally framed bike. Let down slightly by not enough rear tyre clearance for our northern hemisphere climate. Doesn’t stop me riding it. And then there was the 52 chain ring on the 2x that made no sense. So envious of those blue skies in the background more than anything though 😉🍀

@ivanustinov5082 2 года назад

I have synapse 2021 model year. I like the idea of integrated lights and radar in general. Especially internal cable routing. I’m ok with rear light with break sensor + radar. But front light is disappointing. For night time this light is too weak. I want to have 1000 lumen light for night time. Plan to buy lupine Al sf with high/low switch on the handle bar. And at that point all smart-sense integration fall apart, because I can’t purchase 1000 lumen light from Cannondale, but lupine can’t use Cannondale battery. But I don’t want to carry two big batteries. Do you understand… Also I personally upset about external cable routing at the front

@WowRixter 2 года назад

Why doesn't somebody just come out with a battery pack in the shape of a water bottle and have 2 or 3 USB-A connectors ports. Almost every light is charged via USB today. That could be a reasonable unifying option. Cannondale could then do the internal cable routing and provide cables that are all USB-C at the tip or if a person wants something different, offer a module that changes to mico-USB, or perhaps someone would have to recable at there LBS like with Di2

@crimson177 2 года назад

@RollinRat I had to go to my LBS this morning, the guys in shop were saying a guy came in with an orbea orca (fully internal cables), the steerer was a bit stiff, all it needed was a new lower bearing. But because of the integration, they had to take the whole bloody thing apart and charged the guy a fortune. That would normally be a 5 minute job tops with the only annoying bit being making sure the stem is aligned perfectly with the wheel. What the hell is the point of this? Every bloody bike has this now, Scott and orbea even do it on their cheapest tiagra bikes.

@mmilestones 2 года назад

I tried so hard to make it work including a plan to remove the lights and cables but then I realized I would looking down at the odd, open space where the battery would have been.

I don’t know what I’m gonna do with the cables though if I leave them in do I have to tape them to the other cables? Yes I agree Cannondale may have asked the wrong question but I should’ve asked is would you like a integrated system but one that you can’t take on and off the bike? Or would you like a integrated system that you can takeoff the bike?

That big black box is ugly. I also hate top tube warts. You're completely correct about how people have different preferences lights. I prefer lights that mount with rubber straps I can completely remove them. I hate mounts that I have to leave on my bike.

@einundsiebenziger5488 2 года назад

Good to see that finally a major bicycle manufacturer is getting some flak for their too-smart (aka stupid) electronic systems. Cannondale's integrated lights are a solution to a problem nobody asked for. A bike light does not need the same features as a car light, and if you need anything "smart" on a bike it's in other places than the lights. They also chose the wrong type of bike to put permanent lights on. A sports bike needs to be lightweight, so you want your lights to be removable, and bikes people want a permanent lights on are usually normal "get-around bicycles", not made for workouts of high speeds.

I suspect some product manager thought s/he was going to be a great success, but integration typically implies rigid systems that are unusable after a few years. Then, Cannondale managed to persuade people to ride mtb’s with only half a fork, but why does it have to be compulsory?

@wasupwitdat1mofiki94 2 года назад

There are a lot of negative comments about the Radar. The Garmin Radar has gotten such a massive positive response from the cycling community and there has to be a reason for that. It's not just a novelty but it does help keep cyclists safer. I am an older rider and my flexibility is going away just like my youth. I can't turn my head enough to look back and there is that balance thing. I tend to move in the direction I am looking which is something that everybody does. We cyclists all know that the sides of the road are not the best in condition and in most cases the worst place to ride. So I like to move out into the road more when I can to take advantage of smoother road surfaces. That also offers a more relaxed ride. The Radar warns me of vehicles coming from behind in enough time for me to move back to the side of the road also when it's safe to move back out into the road. And I don't have to keep twisting my neck to try to look around every 15 seconds. I guarantee that the people that criticize the radar have never used it, probably because they have low IQs that restrict them from most of the joys of life.

@waynosfotos 2 года назад

For sure 👍

@jjmoto65 2 года назад

Wow just attack people's intellect over a cycling product. I'm also an older cyclist and I don't have or have used the radar. I live in a urban environment and almost all of my cycling is done in this environment. The amount of vehicles coming up on me from behind is almost non stop making the radar ineffective for my riding uses. What works for one rider doesn't always work for others.

@waynosfotos 2 года назад

@@jjmoto65 it is actually the opposite, everyone uses this argument about City riding with the radar. Plain and simple they don't know how it works, you need to try it. The radar can pick up to 6 cars in line behind each other and from 140 metres back. So not only do you know if a car is coming but if the flow is continous or just one car. This is very handy when turning across traffic or passing parked cars. I get the beep can be annoying but can be turned off, and isn't that loud on my wahoo. It is a game changer in city cycling! I have no affiliation with Garmin, in fact had a lot of problems with Garmin products, but this is the best product they make In my opinion.

I think the Radar is a gimmick. I have not seen any evidence bit report to show that it makes a rider safer from traffic. I understand it's hard to measure. Radar is useful it facilitates operator safety and is a tool for navigation and much more. As a defensive tool it works only when a reaction occurs to a real threat. Now does that mean that a cyclist will react to every approaching vehicle because that would see a rider pulling off the road constantly. So most won't so a driver hits a cyclist what's the point of the radar.
