Cannondale Moterra SL 2

Cannondale Moterra SL 2 Overview

Cannondale Moterra SL 2 is an electric mountain bike built around a Moterra SL Carbon frame with 150mm travel, Proportional Response Tuned Suspension, FlexPivot Chainstay, direct mount internal battery, internal cable routing, UDH hanger, and an angle adjust headset. The frame is paired with a Fox Performance 36 fork with 160mm travel, Grip Damper, 3-position adjustment, and a Fox Float X Performance Elite rear shock with EVOL LV and 2-position adjustment. The e-system uses a Shimano EP801 85Nm Custom Tuned drive unit, Custom 601Wh battery, Custom 4A charger, and Shimano SC-EM800 Cycle Computer.

The drivetrain uses Shimano XT 12-speed components, including a Shimano XT rear derailleur, Shimano XT shifter, Shimano XT chain, e*thirteen e*spec Plus 34T crank, and Shimano XT 10-51 cassette. Braking is handled by Magura MT5 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203/203mm Storm HC 6-bolt rotors.

The mixed-wheel setup uses WTB KOM Trail i30 TCS tubeless-ready rims with a 30mm inner width, DT Swiss Champion spokes, and a Formula front hub paired with a DT Swiss 370 Hybrid LN Ratchet System rear hub. The bike comes with a Maxxis DHF 29×2.5″ front tire and Maxxis Dissector 27.5×2.4″ rear tire, both with 3C, EXO+, and tubeless-ready construction. Finishing parts include a Cannondale 3 alloy riser bar, Cannondale 1 alloy stem, Cannondale TaperRidge grips, Fizik Terra Ridon X5 saddle, and Cannondale DownLow Dropper seatpost.
