Cannondale Moterra SL 2 (2025)

Moterra SL – the lightest full-size e-bike ever*

The Moterra SL is the first trailbike with 150mm travel, a 601Wh battery, 600W of power and 85Nm of torque, and weighs 19.5kg. Maximum performance and low weight have created a new category of their own.

Maximum performance, low weight

An e-bike with this much power has never weighed so little. The lightweight carbon frame features weight-saving FlexPivot suspension technology and a custom-built battery with a higher watt-per-kilogram ratio than any other e-bike on the market. An unrivaled power-to-weight ratio means you'll never forget the fun you'll have every time you get behind the wheel.

Full Boost

We were looking for the lightest motor that could handle a lot of power. And we found it in the custom-built Shimano EP801 motor. And with 85Nm of torque and 600+ W of maximum power, you can indulge in BOOST mode whenever you want.

Power a la Mode

We have developed the motor riding modes specifically for the Moterra SL. They are specially adapted for the maximum rides that this e-bike allows. You can easily switch between four different modes while riding. It's up to you whether you choose maximum range, brutal performance or something in between. Whether you're cruising along or going full throttle, on the Moterra SL e-bike every ride will be exactly how you want it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Divine control

At first glance, it seems a bit far-fetched – a head tube angle with the value you'd look for on a downhill bike, a long reach and steep seat tube angle found on modern trail bikes, or suspension kinematics tailored to each size – but when you put it all together, it's a rocket.

Perfect suspension

The FlexPivot rear suspension isn't just for weight savings. It's also the foundation of the entire suspension. It's a true four-pivot suspension, known as a Horst Pivot, that allows our engineers to tune the suspension to respond to any input from the rider or the surface. The result? Incredible traction, confident braking, and a playful bike feel that's just begging you to give it more.
