On the Trek website, the Madone is in the Performance section, where as on the Cannodale website, the Synapse is listed in the Endurance section. You (cyclezen) are correct that a Synapse would be comparable to a Domane in terms of how the manufacturer intends the bike to be used and how they market them. A Madone is clearly oriented towards a different “style” of riding, racing etc…..
