Lots of power, little weight : E-mountain bikes with this much power have never been lighter. The lightweight carbon frame features weight-saving FlexPivot technology and houses a custom battery 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 : Power comes from a custom version of the Shimano EP801: the lightest motor capable of delivering the big power we were looking for. With 85Nm of torque and a peak output of 600W, it brings maximum power to the lightweight e-bike field.

Maximum Power : Cannondale developed custom riding modes for the Moterra SL, specifically optimized for the type of high-speed riding it encourages. Four different levels of assistance, easily adjusted on the fly, help you choose between maximum range, monstrous power, or the ideal mix of both. From easy-going to all-out, every ride on the Moterra SL will be yours.

Superb Handling : At first glance, it looks like something out of the ordinary: a slack, adjustable head angle like a DH bike, the long reach and steep seat angle of a modern trail bike, the suspension setup and geometry that’s completely customizable for your size. When you put all of these details together, you get one truly incredible bike.

Lively Suspension : More than just a weight-saving measure, the beefy FlexPivot lower legs are also at the heart of the suspension design; acting as a Horst joint, they create a true “four-bar” system, allowing engineers to dial in the perfect amount of suspension response as the going gets tough. The result? Incredible traction, confident stopping power, and a playful feel that’ll have you pushing hard.
