The Cannondale Moterra SL Carbon 2 pushes the boundaries of lightweight full-suspension e-MTB bikes. With advanced carbon integration, intelligent drivetrain and aggressive geometry, it combines the agility of a trail bike with a powerful electric drivetrain that gives you more power for every ride - up and down.
At the heart of the bike is the Proportional Response carbon frame, designed specifically for each size to ensure the rider always gets optimal performance and handling. Aggressive geometry complemented by 150mm of suspension up front and 150mm at the rear (Fox TBA fork / Fox Float X Performance Elite shock, 2 pos adj, EVOL LV, 210x55mm) makes the Moterra SL a machine ready for technical trails and high mountain crossings.
Power is provided by a lightweight version of the Shimano EP801 - a compact motor with high torque (85Nm), backed by a 601Wh battery that provides the optimum balance between power, weight and range. Thanks to its low weight, the Moterra SL remains agile and fun to ride even on rough terrain.
The Shimano XT 12sp drivetrain offers a wide range and precise shifting even under load. Stopping power is taken care of by Magura MT5 4-piston hydraulic discs, 203/203mm Storm HC 6-bolt rotors with four-piston calipers and 203mm discs - designed for maximum stopping power on hard descents. Cannondale DownLow dropper post components, a Superboost rear axle and Maxxis Minion DHF/DHR II 29x2.5" tires round out a kit ready for real enduro deployment.
The Cannondale Moterra SL Carbon 2 is a lightweight enduro e-MTB with a clean design and explosive performance. Ideal for the demanding rider who wants nimble geometry, light weight and uncompromising control - no matter the direction, elevation or terrain.
