Lots of power, little weight : Electric mountain bikes with this much power have never been so light. The lightweight carbon frame features FlexPivot technology to save weight, and houses a custom battery pack that packs more watts per pound than anything else on the market. This unmatched power-to-weight ratio makes riding incredibly fun.

Full speed ahead : The power comes from a customized version of the Shimano EP801: the lightest motor capable of providing the great power we were looking for. With 85Nm of torque and peak output at 600W, it brings maximum power to the field of lightweight e-bikes.

Maximum Power : Cannondale has developed custom riding modes for the Moterra SL, optimized specifically for the type of high-speed rides this machine encourages. Four different levels of assistance, easily adjustable while driving, help you choose between maximum autonomy, monstrous power or the ideal mix of both. Quiet or always at the maximum, every ride on the Moterra SL will be just the way you want it.

Superb handling : At first glance, it seems like something out of the ordinary: an adjustable head angle open like a DH bike, the long reach and vertical seat angle of a modern trail bike, the suspension setup and the completely custom geometry based on size. When you put all these details together, you get a truly incredible bike.

Lively Suspension : Much more than a weight-saving measure, the beefy FlexPivot stays are also the heart of the suspension design; acting as a Horst joint, they create a true "four-bar" system, allowing engineers to adjust the perfect response of the suspension based on the stresses. The result? Incredible traction, confident braking and a playful feel that will lead you to push hard.
