Moterra SL 2
The Moterra SL 2 is a category-defying eMTB that hits the "sweet spot" by combining big-bike power with lightweight agility. Built around Cannondale's lightest full-power chassis, it features 150mm of FlexPivot-driven suspension that keeps the ride composed on climbs and unshaken on descents. With a "Mullet" wheel configuration and a custom-tuned Shimano EP801 motor, this bike is designed for fast, fluid, and ridiculously fun trail riding on everything from steep technical terrain to fast-flowing tracks.

Why we like the Cannondale Moterra SL 2
High on Power, Low on Weight
The Moterra SL 2 achieves an unmatched power-to-weight ratio. By pairing a custom high-density battery with the lightest motor capable of big power, Cannondale has created an e-bike that handles with the agility of a traditional trail bike while offering full boost performance.
Mullet Configuration and Precision Shifting
The "Mullet" wheelset—pairing a 29” front for rollover stability with a 27.5” rear for snapping through corners—delivers a unique blend of high-speed control and agile handling. This is perfectly complemented by the Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain, which provides predictable, precision shifting even under the heavy loads of aggressive e-mtb climbing.
Aggressive Front Suspension
The Fox Performance 36 fork with 160mm of travel and a Grip Damper is the ultimate workhorse for the front of this bike. It ensures the front end remains gripped to the terrain through every twist, drop, and landing, providing the control needed for high-speed sessions.
