This new Synapse looks good, might have expected more tyre clearance though but wonder how aero it is compared to the Super Six?

It's a bike with integrated radar and lights aimed at long, comfortable rides. If you're worried about how aero it is you are definitely looking at the wrong bike for you.

About 3500€ for a bike with a 105 groupset!
What's next?

Hey guys, I've got a Supersix Evo Ultegra Di2 2021. I am really happy with it! Just wanted to ask where is the best place to put the Shimano EW-WU111 D-Fly module and how is it done. Thanks for the help!

I would put it behind the control unit on the down tube. Easy to access and make an in line connection

So would a 150 mm cable be enough? Is it is easy to take out the control unit?

Up to 20 hours. Why are you only looking at battery life in the highest setting?

Yes that should be fine, 100mm would work as well. Easy enough to take the control unit out, tiny bit fiddly putting it back in but with a bit of patience and observing which direction the wires run when taking it out shouldn't be a problem! My WU111 lives inside the knot stem however that's partially due to the wires I had to build my setup eith and would definitely be more difficult to install than adding it at the control unit.

regarding to the new Synapse, for an all singing and dancing integrated bike, the lights and cable sure dont look very integrated.... i wonder if cannondale has ben hit by supply chain quite badly.
Some say pour 10ml water out of your bottle to save that last bit of the weight. Sorry, i go one step further, i tend to the rider off my bikes. :thumbup:
n+1...14 last time i checked, but i lost count :mrgreen:

Easiest way it so just plug it into the battery with the shortest cable you can get. Take out the seat post, unplug the cable, plug on the new short cable and the wireless unit and reconnect the existing cable to the wireless unit. Ready to go.

Nope, just regular GPs, they come now in Black, Brown and Cream.

The new Evo is due this summer - a mix of the current one and System Six which will apparently be discontinued eventually. From what I have heard, Cannondale will follow what Specialized did with the Venge. I don't think this is that unveil yet, so probably new Synapse.
What's your source here? Unveiled in the summer as a 2023 model I imagine? My teammate who works at our local Cannondale dealer said he hadn't heard anything about it and they only just received the info on the 2022 models.

I was considering upgrading my 2017 supersix with a 2022 but he said they don't expect inventory until May/June-ish and it would be a bummer to drop a chunk of change only to have the bike already be last-generation a month or two later.

That would mean only three model years of the current gen, seems a bit short, especially with everything that's going on.
