Thanks, NH. Unfortunately, I can't ride them as there are none available locally in shops. I do have a Topstone 105 with 650 tires and I like them, so long as they are inflated to the max. Otherwise, they are "squishy" and tend to roll weirdly when turning.

I'm thinking about getting an ebike and wondering about gear inches. On bikes with multiple gears, I tend to use far fewer combinations than I have available. I also like to have one "easy" combo available for hills, particularly as I'm getting older. I was wondering about the differences...

Thanks so much for all the good info, Brenda!

Hi NH-Senior-Gal Three questions: what kind of mileage per charge do you get? Do you ever take it on gravel or dirt roads? Do you use both chain rings or could you get by with just one? (I'm trying to decide between the Synapse Neo 1 and the Synapse Neo SE) Thanks!

Hi Timo. Thanks for all the good information! I am torn between a Synapse Neo and a Synapse Neo SE. They are very similar but, as you know, the SE has "gravel" tires and 11 speeds, while the Synapse Neo has more speeds, and more road oriented tires. Sounds like you were and are a pretty...

The Cannondale website seems to be in the process of updating. It looks like the Tesoro Neo X 2, not previously available in the USA, will now be available. Maybe? The Cannondale rep at their main site does not have specifics on it yet, so perhaps it is a mistake. Looks like a great bike...

I agree with you.

Thanks, Dave. Ever take your Quick on rail trails, gravel, or dirt?

Thanks, Dave. Would that apply to the Kona as well? It's got a Shimano E7000 motor, but the battery is the same. I cannot get any kind of readon the Kona's range per charge.

Cannondale Synapse Neos: How do they achieve that huge Range Per Battery Charge?" I want to get a battery assisted gravel bike and have narrowed my choice down to a Cannondale Synapse Neo 1, a Cannondale Synapse Neo SE, or a Kona Libre EL. There have been no reviews of the Kona Libre (E7000...

Great looking battery assist gravel bike. Anybody ride one yet? If so, what are your impressions?

They are good looking bikes. Particularly the Libre EL. That 38t crank strikes me as a little small. (Maybe I'm wrong.)

Hello. I was told that with some ebikes, notably Specialized Turbos, you can effectively "change" the bike from a Class 1 machine to a Class 3 machine or vice versa merely by pressing a button on the bike. Another person told me that this change can be done but it has to be done by a...

Hey Carson. Thanks for the information. Very helpful. I was planning to use the Synapse for riding bike trails: macadam, crushed stone, dirt roads, nothing too rough. Did you ever take your Neo 1 on gravel? I have a Topstone with 650s on it and inflated the tires to the highest level I...

Been asking lots of questions and trying to decide on a Cannondale Neo (Tesoro or Synapse SE). Cannondale told me today that info on 2021 models will probably not be released in the USA until mid to late October. A new iteration of the Synapse Neo showed up in a British shop. Aside from a...

Hey bikeman242. Are Ghost bikes in general and the Ghost hardtail in particular well regarded?

Do you know when they will be in shops for purchase? Thanks.

Hey antboy. Tell me more about your "dual battery setup" theory on the Synapse Neo. Their published range does seem really far.

I was getting ready to pull the trigger on either a Cannondale Synapse Neo SE or a Kona Dew-E DL. I discovered from a LBS today that no Dew-E DLs will likely be available before December at the earliest. The Synapse Neo SE is available, but one wonders if anything will be upgraded on that...

Any idea if these bikes are Class 1 or Class 3? Any info on the range of the different models? Thanks.
