The Cannondale CAAD Optimo 4 Road bike is a high-performance road bike without a high price tag. It balances performance and cost with great features like an aluminum frame and rim brakes. This is an excellent choice for beginner riders looking for a quality road bike to enter the sport or for those who want to continue progressing.
Key Features:
- High-Performance Aluminum Frame – The frame is stiff and durable, yet still lightweight. This bike uses the highest-performing frame material at this price point.
- Rim Brakes – Rim brakes use calipers that squeeze the bike's rims to stop, and provide both secure stopping power and easy adjustability.
- Race Geometry – Built for riding fast and pushing hard up climbs, this puts the rider in an aggressive posture on the bike that ensures they can maximize power transfer and high speed.

Also for an option for a local bike shop brand the Cannondale CAAD Optimo 4. It's a little more price than the Tomasso for same spec but better reputation, and the big draw is it assembled by your local bike shop and any good local bike shop will help you properly size and adjust the fit of the bike. It's also cheaper than the equivalent Trek and specialized as well as better than the equivalent giant (base giant contend doesn't have carbon fork) so that's why it's my local bike shop recommendation.

Hi all,

I'm in the market for a bicycle after my previous bike -- a Tommaso Forcella I'd bought about four years ago -- was stolen. I'm looking for some recommendations based on the below info:

* I'm a man and just over 6' tall.
* I use the bike primarily for my 4-mile commute into downtown Boston, plus a portion of my other general transport.
* I very occasionally ride for exercise and have a mild interest in touring, which in all likelihood I won't pursue very much but would ideally like a bike capable of handling.
* Though I know the above would suggest a hybrid bike, I'm leaning heavily towards another road bike, for two reasons:
   * I need to be able to carry the bike up a very narrow staircase, which realistically means being able to hold it vertically in front of me, which means weight becomes a significant factor
   * I definitely get more enjoyment out of riding on a lighter bike
* I'm ideally looking for drop bars
* I will need to be able to mount a rear rack with a basket (or maybe panniers) on the back
* I'd like to spend not more than $1000 if possible -- I'm willing to go a little beyond that if necessary to get the best value, but ideally I'd really like to be closer to the $750 range.

Overall, I liked my Forcella and right now my leading option would just be to buy another. But I didn't *love* my old bike, mostly because despite me buying a Large which is meant for riders 5'11"-6'2", it always felt very slightly too small to me -- to get to a point where I felt like I was getting good extension on my downstroke, I had to have the seatpost at its absolute highest, and even then I didn't feel quite right compared to the bike I had previous to the Forcella (an older steel bike). Also, compared to that previous bike I had a lot more issues with pedal strikes on the roadway when making tight turns at speed with the Forcella. I'm by no means an expert rider though, so it's definitely possible that I was overextending.

Does anybody have any recommendations that come to mind based on the above? Or should I just bite the bullet and go with what I know (mostly) works in the Forcella? Does anybody have thoughts on my feeling that the bike was a little on the small side, despite the manufacturer putting me right in the middle of the size range I purchased?

Thanks so much for any ideas or help you can offer!!

Love them or hate them, electric bikes are here to stay, and Cannondale’s first go at a gravel-focused model was a huge success in our opinion. After spending some time on the Synapse NEO SE, we came away extremely impressed by the bike’s smooth acceleration, confidence-inspiring ride, and quality build. While the electric Synapse will only assist up to 20 miles per hour (similar to all class 1 e-bikes), this was enough of a grin-maker for even the most skeptical riders among us. You do pay a steep premium for the Bosch drive unit and 500Wh battery, but it’s a boon for daylong enjoyment on remote backroads.

As is the case with all e-bikes, the Cannondale’s battery and motor are very heavy (the Synapse NEO SE weighs in at a hefty 40+ pounds). If you plan to transport your e-bike with any regularity, it’s important to consider the weight limit of your rack and your ability to lift and load the bike. Another issue is power: if you run out of juice on the trail, it’ll be a slow and difficult ride back to your car. And finally, e-bike laws still are evolving and changing, so it’s important to know the rules before you head out. But none of these issues are specific to the Synapse, and if you’re set on an electric model that crosses over nicely between backcountry and road use, we think it’s a true standout.See the Cannondale Synapse NEO SE

 Give me all the comfort i need when doing three or four hour rides. I, like the fact you have a two piece, aero handlebar and stem i like the shape of the tops and the drops and the bar tape is really comfy as well especially running out. Gloves when it's warm enough, which is at the moment crazy climate change uh to thank for that and on this bike to use the smart sense and particularly the radar, you use your own computer, either garmin or wahoo, which most are compatible now with the garmin vario Radar, low models use a device on a handlebars that doesn't have a computer, gives you a simple readout of a car approaching so different levels of technology based on your experience, but most people buying a bike of this price range, probably have their own computer, their own Preference for a computer so at least they haven't, given you a computer as standard with a bike, but maybe they could, in the future, develop their own or partner with garmin or wahoo or another brand, to give you a built-in computer, but is that a move too Far, probably we have been there before our bike's, giving a smart capabilities of bikes. So at least you have your own computer to fit to the bike

 Okay time. To sum up all my thoughts and observations of riding the new bike for the last two weeks into one concise, succinct verdict for you to take away today, only it's not so easy and there is a tale of two halves on a plus side. I love the performance of a new frame, the handling, the comfort, the speed, much faster than the old bike, much more engaging, much more dynamic to ride, and we have some nice details like an external threaded bottom bracket, a regular seat, post and semi internal cable routing. So those are all a win, but on the downside we have a technology that you can't remove from the bike and that wouldn't be a problem if the technology worked extremely well and worked as good as aftermarket solution

 So this new bike has some big shoes to feel and has it filled them? Oh, yes, it has. Oh, my goodness me, this bike is just phenomenal. What a package it's even faster, even more exciting, even more dynamic to ride. Yes, it's still just as comfy as the old bike, with the same relaxed geometry gives you a higher position than a race bike and a really short footage and planted in high speed situations

Should you buy a 2022 Cannondale Synapse with integrated lights and radar?

 But it's one that we, the cyclist editorial team, all agreed that cannondale synapse has always managed to deliver expertly. So the last time this particular synapse was updated was back in 2017 and that was tall intended purposes. Just a disc brake makeover for its predecessor, because, ultimately, that bike, which was launched back in 2013, was arguably quite a way ahead of its competitors. In terms of the features it was already showcasing um some eight years ago i mean that bike already had a lot of integration of components

 So it could be in the knicker time too, because i'll be honest, whilst this synapse did run out as unanimous winner in our head-to-head best of the best competition for the endurance bike sector. You know the competition is growing ever stronger in this category. So what were those key details that stood out for us that enabled the synapse to just edge out its competitors? So something i think, cannondale has really done well with the design of the synapse, was the way in which it's interpreted the endurance sector, and i think what i mean by that is some of its competitors have maybe over egged that comfort element by having really tall Front ends very relaxed geometry, long, wheelbases and adding in those actual moving active suspension systems and so on, and what that can do if you're, not careful is always the danger of making your bike feel certainly heavier, but even a bit languid in its handling and responsiveness And ultimately, sort of robbing the bike of speed. And yet it's speed that most cyclists all measure themselves and compare themselves by whether that's giving a mate to kicking up the local climbs or getting a gold award in a grand, fondo or perhaps even just riding, to work faster

 I don't know, but here's that sweet spot, that we're looking for really well so there we have it. The cannondale synapse undeniably one of the most prevalent endurance, road bikes of the current era and one that we feel epitomizes this genre importantly not by following others, but by treading its own path and delivering what is expected of it in a clean and unfussy way. Quite simply, it gets the job done: [, Music, ].

Cannondale Synapse: Cyclist 'Best of the Best' Endurance Bike Winner, 2021

  My first bile with carbon frame and disc brakes.  Minimal compromise from a road race bike for smooth comfort and versatiility.

Endurance bile with very little compromise.

 Our video manager felix, who also wrote the synapse, has also never had an issue with more fittings and larger clearances. You wouldn't expect the new synapse to come close to the previous model's svelte lightweight design. So it's quite a remarkable achievement that this new synapse chassis is exactly the same weight as the 2018 model. The synapse also brings cannondale's proportional response construction to the range for the first time

Cannondale'S award-winning synapse is the definition of the modern endurance bike and innovation has always been at the core of the synapses design dna. Does the 2022 model follow on or could it be an innovation so far, [ Music ]? It would have been very easy for cannondale to ensure the synapses success by just using lessons learned from the brilliant supersix evo and the system 6 to produce their modernized synapse. It seems that wasn't on cannondale's agenda for the 2022 model, whereas previous incarnations in the synapse kept a more race-like bike design. With this new version, they've shifted far more to a real world, rider integrated lights and even a new cannondale specific version of garmin's underrated

 Changes are all about making the bike easy to live with it. For goes complex, internal routine, that's become commonplace on pretty much. Every modern road bike in favor of a simpler routine through a large port in the downtube they've, also moved away from the integrated seat. Clamp evolved in favor of a standard, alloy ring binder and slotted seat tube

 The new synapse rightfully keeps its place as one of the best endurance bikes around it's up there with the likes of specialized roubaix giants, dufy and cevallos caledonia. It'S handling meets what i love about great road bikes that compelling mix of sure footage stability and fast handling. The addition of the tech extras is the icing on the cake, but i'd still be smitten with the synapses charms. If it came sean of all these safety enriching extras, [, Music ]

2022 Cannondale Synapse Review | Most Practical Synapse Yet? Or More Unwanted Tech?

 Meanwhile was starting elementary school and at cannondale they just launched the synapse [ Music ]. It'S helped to shape what an endurance road bike is a bike for road riding, as opposed to being designed for professional racing. In essence, there's more comfort built into the bike. The handling is a little bit more refined and the riding position is for an actual human being, as opposed to a wannabe racing snake now over the years

 Hang on a minute, don't turn off. This is not just another aero bike, but we are all aware now. I think anyway, and just how important aerodynamics is to our efficiency, whether we're after increasing speed or increasing distance, and that's true, no matter what your baseline power value, but importantly, can they'll say that these aerodynamic tweaks haven't added any weight to the frame set compared to The previous version, which comes in a shade over 900 grams, and it hasn't also affected the compliance of the frame plate. In fact, the compliance has increased, cannondale, say and is now also size specific, so that the amount varies across the frame size spectrum to maintain those riding characteristics

 I think anyway, and just how important aerodynamics is to our efficiency, whether we're after increasing speed or increasing distance, and that's true, no matter what your baseline power value, but importantly, can they'll say that these aerodynamic tweaks haven't added any weight to the frame set compared to The previous version, which comes in a shade over 900 grams, and it hasn't also affected the compliance of the frame plate. In fact, the compliance has increased, cannondale, say and is now also size specific, so that the amount varies across the frame size spectrum to maintain those riding characteristics. So if there's no cars, it will show green and then, when cars start approaching, you will be able to see how many there are where they are in relation to you and also how fast they're going if they're coming up on you really fast, then the display Will turn red the system is designed to give you an awareness of what's going on behind you without turning your attention away from, what's going on in front of you and kandel said they initially started, trialing it following feedback from their customers that showed that significant proportion Of cannondale owners were already using garmin, varia tech, cannondales, say they've, designed the components to work together as seamlessly as possible. So cables are very neatly
