#1 Cannondale Synapse Endurance Road Bikes (Carbon & Alloy)

Spoke Life picks the Cannondale Synapse first over all other road bikes because it is True Endurance Machinery! All Models of the Synapse live for days grinding big climbs, ripping descents, smashing gravel, and going sun up to sun down just because. It’s an endurance machine dedicated to full-throttle adventure. Synapse comes in Carbon and Alloy with ranging groupsets from entry level Claris Sora and Tiagra up through the Elite Groups 105 Ultegra DuraAce and Electronic shifting, there are even models featuring SRAM RED Etap and APEX 1 drive trains.

• ENDURANCE BIKE GEOMETRY
  The rider position perfectly balances low, forward efficiency and upright comfort, for a “just-right” feel that encourages full-gas exploits and all-day sessions.
•  RACE LEVEL PERFORMANCE
  New frame weighs just 950g (over 220g lighter) with a level of stiffness normally reserved for World Tour sprinters’ rigs. This thing is fast.
•  CONNECTED COMFORT
  The updated SAVE Micro-Suspension in the frame and fork is complemented by the addition of the SAVE seatpost, for enhanced comfort and performance enhancement that keeps you protected from shocks and vibration yet connected to the feel of the ride.
• SIZE OPTIMIZED DESIGN
  The new Synapse takes our size-specific construction philosophy to a whole new level. Not only does every frame size get its own rider-appropriate carbon layup and tube dimensions, we also utilize three different fork steerer and headtube diameters with three different fork offsets to ensure that every rider enjoys the same ride-feel and handling, regardless of size.
•  WIDE RANGING CAPABILITIES
  With full clearance for tires up to a whopping 32mm wide, and subtle, hidden fender mounts, the new Synapse is ready and willing to explore the wilder side of endurance riding.
  
  

#2 Specialized Diverge Road Bikes (Carbon & Alloy)

We almost picked the Specialized Diverge as our number one pick for two reasons:

1 – FUTURE SHOCK

2 – 700 x 42 Tire Clearance

If you’re like us, the last thing that you want is your bike holding you back from having the ride of your life. If you see rough roads or flowy singletrack, we want you to ride it, not think, “That looks fun, but I can’t do it on this bike.” We’re tired of our fun being restricted, and that’s why we carry the new Diverge. Now, you can get out there and not only explore new roads, but entirely new rides—we promise that the bike won’t be a limiting factor.

• The FACT 9r carbon frame features our adventure-bound Open Road Geometry, Future Shock Progressive suspension with 20mm of travel, and front/rear thru-axles, making it the ultimate tool for your next adventure.
• The lightweight FACT carbon fork is plenty stiff, aiding in handling, rigidity, and an overall light weight.
• The fast-rolling, 2Bliss Ready Trigger Pro tires are perfect for adventure. The fast-rolling center keeps resistance low on the road, while the shoulder knobs dig into corners in the dirt. And with this 2Bliss Ready design, you’re able to run lower pressures for more grip & traction, while all but eliminating the risk of pinch flats.

Aluminum Frame Road Bike Models
Made for exploring new roads, commuting to class, and everything in between, the Diverge Comp E5 redefines how many functions one bike can fulfill.

• Our Premium E5 aluminum frameset features our comfortable, but confidence-inspiring Open Road Geometry, Future Shock Progressive suspension with 20mm of travel, and front/rear thru-axles, making it the ultimate tool for your next adventure.
• The lightweight FACT carbon fork is plenty stiff, aiding in handling, rigidity, and an overall light weight.
•  With Shimano taking the reins on shifting, you’ll experience crisp shifts for many miles to come.
