Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'd say neither because the look of those hydraulic levers is really off putting. But the Synapse is a much better looking bike so I would go with that if I had to choose. Interesting that Cannondale is offering a 1x Apex version of the Synapse though. I would get that

Where are you going to ride them? Always on pavement? Out in the rain?
