Cannondale Moterra SL 2 - Smoke Black

The Moterra SL 2 moves with power, speed, and absolute determination. Developed on the lightest E-MTB frame with full power, it offers 150 mm of travel with Proportional Response tuning, keeping the bike stable while climbing and confident on descents. FlexPivot chainstays absorb impacts without losing momentum. The Shimano EP801 drive delivers 85 Nm of torque on demand, while the Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain operates precisely and reliably. The Fox Float X Performance Elite suspension keeps the bike grounded and ensures maximum traction in corners, drops, and landings. The mullet wheel setup – 29 inches in front, 27.5 inches in the rear – combines stability with agility. Magura MT5 four-piston brakes engage powerfully when it matters. The specially tuned 601 Wh battery provides energy for rides that last longer than daylight.
