The Moterra SL 2 — Full‑Power e‑MTB, Under 20.5kg

The Moterra SL delivers the torque, range and suspension travel of a full‑power e‑MTB — but with the agility, responsiveness and nimbleness more like a traditional trail bike. Usual e-MTBs with similar travel and power numbers come in around 25kg, giving the Moterra SL an unparalleled riding experience without sacrificing the benefits of a full powered e-bike. 

In It to Pin It

Just call it the “sweet spot” – the best of both worlds. Big-bike power and ride time, with lightweight-bike agility and handling. In other words, exactly what e-mtb riders everywhere have been waiting for. Moterra SL might just be the most fun mountain bike that Cannondale has ever made.

The Moterra SL 2 moves with force, speed, and absolute intent. Built around Cannondale's lightest, full-power eMTB chassis, it has 150mm of Proportional Response Tuned Suspension to keep the ride composed on the climbs and unshaken in the descents. FlexPivot chainstays absorb impact without stealing momentum. Shimano’s EP801 drive unit, tuned for instant response, fires off 85Nm of torque on command, while XT 12-speed shifts with predictable precision. Fox Float X Performance Elite suspension grips the terrain, keeping traction locked through every twist, drop, and landing. The Mullet Wheelset—29” up front, 27.5” in the back—delivers high-speed control with quick, agile handling. Magura MT5 four-piston brakes bite when the moment calls for it, and a custom 601Wh battery ensures the ride lasts longer than the daylight.
