LIGHT, NIMBLE, READY

With 150mm of rear travel, 160mm up front and 29” wheels, it has an incredibly balanced ride feel – lively and precise on the descents, steady on climbs, and so responsive you forget you’re on an eMTB. Less weight, more freedom, and all the control you need.
POWER TO THE PEDAL.
Moterra gets its all-conquering boost from the latest version of Bosch’s most powerful drive system. The updated Performance Line CX drive unit delivers delivers its powerful torque more quietly, smoothly and naturally than ever before, slaying even the nastiest climbs with silent ease, while the massive 800 or 600Wh interchangeable battery options offer the range to roll for hours. Whether conquering steep climbs or cruising alpine paths, this system ensures maximum power and battery longevity, ride after ride.
DIALED FOR YOU.
We didn’t just slap a “medium” sticker on it and call it a day. The Moterra 1 and 2’s Proportional Response™ design means every frame size gets its own specific design. Everything, from the geometry to the suspension kinematics, is completely customized by size–delivering incredibly balanced handling, and a ride that feels like the bike’s reading your mind. Smooth, comfortable, and always in control.
FEATURES.
The Moterra showcases Cannondale’s legacy of carbon innovation with a frame, along with refined e-system small parts, that shaves nearly 1000g off the weight of its predecessor. This impressive reduction lets you zip up climbs and float over rough terrain with ease. Enjoy the thrill of nimble handling and the freedom to tackle any trail, making every ride feel quick, agile, and unburdened.
The geometry on the new Moterra has been revised to make the bike even more approachable, easy to ride, and comfortable for full day adventures, without losing its all-around rippability. More BB drop with shorter cranks. Taller stack, slightly shorter reach, and steeper seat angle pairs up nicely with increased stability from a slacker head angle. The result is a supremely balanced, in-the-bike feel. The perfect set-up for going long, going fast, or both.
Along with being custom-tailored to each size, the suspension kinematics on the new Moterra have been tweaked to maximize traction and comfort-enhancing suppleness, especially under braking. The new tune lets the Moterra float over rough, while keeping you comfortably in control.
The Trail HeadsUp Stem features a seamlessly integrated Bosch Kiox 500 on Moterra 1 or Kiox 300 on Moterra 2, keeping your cockpit clean and clutter-free. You’ll get all the ride data you need—right where you want it—without any distracting bulk. This refined design feels intuitive, so you can stay focused on the trail and not on your tech. Because riding should always come first.
When it comes to range, the Moterra gives you options galore. The new Bosch PowerTube 800Wh and 600Wh batteries are completely interchangeable. Bump up your range for bigger days, or swap in a lighter battery for more agility on shorter rides. Plus, Moterra is compatible with Bosch’s 250Wh PowerMore range extender, giving you on-bike capacity of a staggering 1050Wh. Enough energy to power through all-day escapades, even when charging gets lost in the shuffle. Go on, take the long way home.
These right-sized 29ers aren’t here to tiptoe around obstacles—they’re here to steamroll them. Rocks, roots, random trail debris? No problem. (Small now full 29er)
