Cannondale Synapse brake pad questions

Before you order.

Which brake pads fit a Cannondale Synapse?

Choose the exact Synapse model and confirm the marking on the fitted caliper. The 2025/2026 value is a Finder record label, not a confirmed manufacturer model year.

Do all Cannondale Synapse models use the same brake pads?

No. Pad shape can vary by exact model, market and fitted caliper. Gorilla Brain keeps every verified Finder record separate.

Why does the result open a collection rather than one product?

The verified collection contains the Gorilla Brakes compounds available for that pad shape, allowing you to choose the compound that suits your riding and conditions.

Can the front and rear of a Cannondale Synapse use different pads?

Yes. Some builds use different calipers or pad shapes at the front and rear, so check both mappings on the exact bike card.

What if the brakes on my Cannondale Synapse have been changed?

Use the bike listing as a starting point, then search for the name printed on the caliper actually fitted and order for that confirmed pad shape.
