Cannondale Moterra Carbon 2 Overview

The Cannondale Moterra Carbon 2 is an electric mountain bike built with a Moterra carbon front triangle, SmartForm C1 Alloy swingarm, Bosch Performance Line CX 250W drive unit, and Bosch PowerTube 750Wh battery. It is made for challenging trails, up and down hills, and riding out in the elements, with 150mm travel and a Bosch SmartSystem e-bike setup.

The frame uses Proportional Response Tuned Suspension, a removable downtube battery, alloy skid plate, 55mm chainline, internal cable routing, 148x12mm thru-axle, UDH hanger, post mount brake, tapered 1.5”–1.8” headtube, and an 18mm two-bolt kickstand mount. Suspension is handled by a 150mm RockShox Lyrik Select fork with DebonAir and a RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock with DebonAir, 2-position mode adjust, and adjustable rebound.

The e-system includes a Bosch Performance Line CX 250W drive unit, Bosch PowerTube 750Wh battery, Bosch 4A charger, Bosch Kiox 300 display with LED remote, and UL 2849 certification. The drivetrain combines a Shimano XT rear derailleur with Shimano SLX 12-speed shifter, chain, and 10-51 cassette. Shimano MT520 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with 203/203mm RT64 rotors handle braking, while WTB ST i30 TCS tubeless-ready rims, Maxxis 2.6” tires, and a Cannondale DownLow Dropper complete the build.
