Synapse Neo Allroad 2

This road-focused speed score is primarily about smooth-surface momentum and top-end efficiency. Compared with comfort-biased setups, this build is shaped by wider mixed-surface tires that add some drag, aerodynamics that help it hold speed once you're rolling, and a solid drivetrain that supports efficient riding. That's why it tends to feel slower when you try to hold a high tempo.

Climbing rating: 3.9/10. Within e-road bikes, it ranks below average. The easiest gear leans spin-friendly when it tilts up. That lowest gear comes out around 25.4 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~71% of them. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. E-assist can take the sting out of steep ramps, especially at lower speeds. It can climb, but you’ll likely prefer smoother pacing on longer hills. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

Rated 5.8/10 for aero, it aims for usable speed without big trade-offs so it won’t hold you back on normal fast riding. In everyday language, it’s a balanced middle ground: some streamlining, but not an extreme aero setup. Details like hidden cables and a cleaner cockpit can add up to small aero gains at speed. That typically means solid everyday speed without forcing an aggressive position or race-only parts.

Comfort fit - less tuck and easier on neck and shoulders. Endurance geometry usually trades some tuck for all-day comfort. Some measurements were missing, so part of this is estimated.

Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: This front-end is not locked into a one-piece system, which helps adjustability. At the same time, Internal cable routing can slow down fit-related part changes. So it lands in Moderately Adjustable.

Ride comfort is 6.4/10 — on a real ride it feels easygoing over rough patches. That’s the reason it lands as Balanced. It’s running about 40 mm tires on 700c wheels, and extra tire volume helps mute vibration and small bumps on chipseal and broken pavement. The posture is neutral (posture 5/10), which keeps things neutral and easy to live with.

Nothing screams bargain or rip-off here. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec estimate, the price is close to what we’d expect for a comparable build. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 61% of listings). To anchor it: price €6.194 versus an estimated €5.927 for a similar build. Put simply: you’re paying roughly what similar bikes tend to cost.

This setup works well when your ride switches between tarmac and easy unpaved sections. Tires around 40 mm are a good middle ground for varied surfaces. It’s listed as Endurance, but the setup aligns better with All Road.
