Cannondale Moterra SL 2 - Candy Red

High Performance, Low Weight

Electric mountain bikes with this much power have never been so light. The lightweight carbon fibre frame features our weight-saving FlexPivot technology and houses a custom battery that packs more watts pro kilograms than any other on the market. This unparalleled power-to-weight ratio ensures plenty of fun while riding.

Full Power

The power comes from a specially tuned version of Shimano's EP801 drive unit - the lightest motor that delivers the high performance we were looking for. With 85 Nm of torque and over 600 watts of maximum power, it brings great momentum to the lightweight party.

Power à la Mode

We have developed special riding modes for the Moterra SL, specifically tuned to the kind of high-speed sessions that this setup encourages. Four different boost levels, easily adjustable while riding, help you choose between maximum range, monstrous power, or your ideal mix of both. Whether mild or wild, your ride will be just how you want it, no more, no less.

Heavenly Handling

At first glance, it looks somewhat crazy - an adjustable head angle that is slack enough for a DH bike, the long reach and steep seat angle of a modern trail bike, suspension design and geometry that are fully size-adjusted - but when everything comes together, it absolutely rips.

Animated Suspension

More than just weight savers, our robust FlexPivot stays are also the heart of our suspension design. Acting as a Horst link, they create a true four-bar system that allows our engineers to fine-tune the perfect suspension response for any input. The result? Incredible traction, confident braking, and a playful feel just waiting to be pushed harder.

Shimano EP801 Drive Unit

Shimano's top-tier e-MTB system: lightweight, reliable and powerful. 85 Nm of torque and 600 watts of maximum power, delivered through custom riding modes for maximum fun.

Custom 601-Wh Battery

Using special cells that store more power pro kilograms than ever before, we have created an incredibly compact battery that packs a full 601 watt-hours in just 3.1 kg including the wiring harness. All power, less weight.

Custom Riding Modes

Specially developed support modes for the perfect ride: ECO - maximum range for all-day adventures. TRAIL - medium power, ideal for riding with friends on light e-bikes. BOOST - increases support for fast riding with fully powered e-bikes. And TURBO - full power, anytime. Have it your way.

Designed for You

With our Proportional Response design, everything from the suspension layout to the geometry - even the length of the chainstays - is fully adjusted to the size of each bike. It’s performance built specifically for you.

Turn it to Your Taste

The flip chip means you can choose between keeping the Moterra Neo SL as a "mullet" bike with the 29-inch front/27.5-inch rear wheel setup for agility and playfulness or switching to 29-inch wheels at both ends for maximum traction and rolling efficiency.

FlexPivot

We pioneered these carbon flex points years ago, and they are like a cheat code in frame construction. They reduce weight, eliminate maintenance, and allow us to use a sophisticated four-bar suspension design that enhances your traction and control on the trail.

Route it Right

On models 1 and 2, you can route internal cables directly through the head tube to keep things clean and out of harm's way, or through openings in the frame to ensure simplicity and easy maintenance.

Adjust Your Head

Adjustable headset cups give you a range of 1.2 degrees for angle adjustment at the front. Reduce it if you want more stability at high speeds, set it steeper if you want to be more agile on technical terrain.

Don't Be Shy

Like a helmet for your motor, an integrated bash guard protects it from hard hits on the trail. You may not need it often, but when you do, you'll be glad it's there.
