Cycling guide to Cannondale SmartSense System - A Seamless Radar + Headlight + Taillight design
Cannondale’s SmartSense system is an innovative and controversial approach to combining headlights, taillights and radars into a single seamless package. Rather than recharging three separate batteries and powering them on individually, the SmartSense system features integrated cable routing with a central SmartSense battery on the downtube of Cannondale’s bikes. This system is currently only available on the Synapse and Topstone bikes but we wouldn’t be surprised if it was extended to other model lines. A speed sensor on the front wheel allows all the devices to turn on automatically when the bike moves and shutdown if no motion is detected for an extended period of time. The lights can also be fully controlled via a free Cannondale App which also allows you to customize the output modes.
At the time of writing this cyclist guide, Cannondale only offers one SmartSense system, note a StVZO variation is used where required, with a Lezyne headlight (SmartSense Foresite 350) and taillight (Hindsite Array E85/E25) along with a Garmin Varia rear radar. The main battery has a 2665 mAh capacity and can easily be detached from the frame to be recharged or used as a powerbank to charge other devices off the bike. Power cables are internally routed through the frame and seatpost for a slick integrated appearance. Cannondale also includes a separate Varia display unit which uses an interesting colored vertical LED array to show cars approaching along with audible warnings.
Cannondale currently offers the SmartSense system in different variations on their endurance Synapse bike series and Topstone gravel bikes. The full setup is integrated into bikes with the “RLE” in their model name which stands for radar-equipped, light-equipped and electronic shifting. Cannondale also offers “LE” and “L” variations which have the lights only. Each component is also available separately to allow people to upgrade but you need a SmartSense compatible frame to take full advantage of the battery docking system and internal cable routing. The motivation for this system is to offer a seamless experience and eliminate redundant batteries and controls....
