Performance or endurance bike?

[bonnypriest]

The 2011's are about to come out, so they only have 2 versions of womens Synapse left, but many of the mens. Cannondale calls the Synapse 'performance' ie, comfortable, and they call their Six 'Elite' ie, race-level.

Remember, entry-level doesn't really mean lower price, it gives you the chance to explore and develop your likes and dislikes about bikes without making an expensive or painful mistake.

Enjoy
