Carbon frame cracked. "Obsolete" 3 year old bike. Lousy warranty. My 3-year-old Cannondale Carbon Synapse experienced a spontaneous frame crack with just regular road riding--no crash. I purchased it new for over $4000 in November 2020 at REI. It had top of the lineDuraAce components. Cannondale agreed to replace the frame under warranty, but replaced it with a 2024 model frame which has a different size bottom bracket and seat post, making my current crank and seatpost unusable. According to REI, my old Holographic crank cost $800-$1000 new, but it cannot be used on the replacement frame. Cannondale says the warranty does not cover incompatible parts when the bike is "obsolete." They consider my three year old bicycle to be obsolete. New similar quality compatable parts cost me $1001. Labor cost covered by REI cost $400. Cannondale offered me a free helmet to compensate me. Don't expect much from Cannondale. On line, I read of similar experiences. I suspect Cannondale just produces low quality frames prone to cracking.

Cannondale Free Helmet offer scam? I purchased a new Cannondale mountain bike and applied for the free junction helmet. I got an email confirming this and stating that I would receive the helmet in four to six weeks. Nothing received and you cannot reply to the confirmation email to query. I have spent ages trying to find somewhere to email or telephone. What reputable company has no obvious way of allowing its customers to easily contact them. Where is my helmet, I see I am not the only one! Disgraceful.

We bought 2 new Cannondale EV for… We bought 2 new Cannondale EV for almost 9000€. One of the bikes Mavaro Neo 3 Low Step Thru was delivered without a printed owners manual. I have tried to contact this company via mail and telephone several times. They have answering machines and no reply emails. This is a fraud company don,t buy anything from them.One star is too much.

Failing freehub fixed for free I had a problem with a repeatedly failing freehub on my Topstone, which I think was due to a seal being missing from the axle when the bike was assembled. It was initially very hard to get in touch with anyone from Cannondale (hence 4 and not 5 stars), but once I did (using the email on this page) they responded instantly and sent me a replacement freehub + seal, free of charge. This is two years (and two freehubs) since I bought the bike, so they could have washed their hands of it.. No quibble and no issues, just a goodwill "to keep you rolling".

Super disappointing Super disappointing. Bought Topstone 4 and bottom bracket was gone in 8 moths, so has the freehub that needed servicing. The whole bike started creaking. Feels cheap. Maybe it's the bottom of the range, but it's still not cheap. Pay a tiny bit more and get a Canyon, that has been a real delight.
