Cannondale Moterra – Power, Control, Adventure
As one of the most innovative brands in the bike industry, Cannondale is known for questioning conventions. Whether it's modern aluminum frames, Lefty suspension forks or in-house geometry concepts, the company has had a decisive influence on the MTB sector. With the Moterra, Cannondale brings this spirit to e-mountain biking.
What makes it special is that the Moterra puts the riding experience first. The integration of the motor is not a compromise, as is the case with many other electric bikes, but the basis for a well-thought-out, harmonious overall package. Instead of feeling cumbersome, the Moterra is surprisingly agile – partly because the geometry, wheel sizes, and components are perfectly adapted to each other.
Technology That Moves: What's Inside the Moterra
Moterra bikes feature smart drive technology from Bosch or Shimano, high-quality suspension and geometry that easily masters the balancing act between uphill performance and downhill fun. What sets the Moterra apart in detail:
- Fully setup: Powerful e-MTB enduro with 170/165 mm or dynamic e-trail bike with 130/150 mm travel – the Moterra can do both.
- Strong motors: Powerful, efficient, natural – depending on the model, Cannondale uses the Bosch Performance Line CX motor or the Shimano EP801 motor for the Moterra. All deliver up to 85 Nm of torque.
- Flexible battery capacities: From 600 to 800 Wh depending on the model – perfectly adapted to range or lightweight construction. Optional range extender available.
- Adapted geometry: Steep seat angle for climbing passages, flat steering angle for safety on descents, shorter rear triangle for agile handling.
- Mullet setup (29“/27.5”): For optimal balance between smooth running and agility – a real advantage, especially on technical trails.
- Full integration: Cable routing, battery mount, motor – everything is elegantly integrated into the frame.
The Moterra Models at a Glance – From Touring to Trail Progression
The Moterra series from Cannondale covers a wide range of applications – from alpine adventures and technically demanding trails to comfortable commuting with off-road options. Depending on the model, you get either maximum range, extra travel or fully integrated everyday features. Here is a brief overview of the main platforms:
Cannondale Moterra Neo – The Classic of the Series
The classic Moterra Neo is a powerful e-all-mountain bike with 150 mm of travel at the front and rear, a Bosch Performance Line CX motor (Smart System) and a 750 Wh rechargable battery. Thanks to its well-thought-out geometry, it climbs efficiently uphill and remains confident and controlled downhill. A mixed-wheel concept, carbon or aluminum frame, and integrated features such as a neatly installed rechargable battery make it a versatile trail machine for touring and technical passages.
Cannondale Moterra Neo LT – The Enduro Version
If you like it rough and steep, go for the LT version (Long Travel): 170 mm of travel at the front, 165 mm at the rear and progressive geometry with a flat steering angle offer plenty of reserves for enduro-like riding. The Moterra LT uses the same Bosch CX drive and 750 Wh rechargable battery as the classic Neo, but is clearly tuned for maximum downhill performance – ideal for riders who take e-enduro seriously.
Cannondale Moterra Neo EQ – E-MTB for Commuters
The Moterra EQ combines trail performance with urban everyday practicality. Fenders, a rack, lights, and a 100-lux headlight make the bike suitable for city and touring use without sacrificing off-road capabilities. It is based on the Neo platform with 150 mm travel, Bosch CX motor and 750 Wh rechargable battery – perfect for commuters with off-road ambitions or adventurers looking for an electric bike for all situations.
Cannondale Moterra SL – For the "Sweet Lines"
The Moterra SL is Cannondale's answer to the demand for lightweight but powerful e-mountain bikes. Weighing less than 20 kg, it combines a Shimano EP801 motor with 85 Nm of torque and a 601 Wh rechargable battery. The carbon frame with FlexPivot rear suspension offers 160 mm of travel at the front and 150 mm at the rear. The Moterra SL is aimed at sporty riders who are looking for agile handling with full motor assistance without sacrificing a light overall weight
