Cannondale Moterra Lab71 2025

Breaking Boundaries

Ultra-premium spec. The most powerful Bosch drive unit. The razor’s edge of e-MTB performance doesn’t get any sharper than the LAB71 Moterra. Perfect for challenging trails, Up and down hills, Out in the elements. Built for Handling, Traction, Efficiency, Durability.

Trail-Focused, LAB71-Optimized
The LAB71 approach means a bike is scrutinized top-to-bottom to wring out every gram and watt possible. That means ultimate spec and attention to detail in pursuit of ultimate performance. A SRAM XX Transmission and Zipp 3Zero Moto wheelset are just the beginning.

Bosch’s Best
The Moterra LAB71 boasts the lighter and more powerful “Race” version of Bosch’s top-shelf Performance Line CX drive unit. It saves weight, plus there’s an exclusive Race Mode that kicks up the boost to 400% of your input. It's like riding a lightning bolt for the trail.

E-MTB's Highest Echelon
Electric bike performance is about more than just power and componentry. Moterra is a ground-up design built to help you get the most out of both. Our Proportional Response size-specific suspension and geometry takes e-MTB performance to the next level – and the LAB71 version takes it to the unreal.

Feeling Racy
Built to win races, Bosch’s Performance Line CX Race is their lightest and most powerful drive unit. At just 2.8kg (6.1 lbs), it’s 140g lighter than their next-lightest system, yet it can crank out 85Nm of torque and boost your pedaling power by up to 400%.

750Wh Battery
Go longer. Do more laps. Explore the furthest peaks.  With the largest battery Bosch makes, range anxiety is a thing of the past. Charge it on the bike, or remove it easily for off-bike charging.

Proportional Response Suspension
Riders come in all sizes, but our Proportional Response suspension is the only design that addresses this pretty obvious fact. Each size frame gets its own custom suspension kinematics - different mounting points, links and leverage ratios - for truly size-specific suspension performance. Better traction, more efficient pedaling, and more active suspension under braking for every rider.

Built Light, Built Tough
A sophisticated carbon fiber main frame keeps mass to a minimum. And since our engineers prioritized durability over gram-counting, confidence is built in (as is a lifetime warranty).

Clean Cable Management
Less clutter, more style. Moterra's unique cable routing sends the shift and brake cables under the stem and through the frame for a sleek look.

Protection
To protect the motor and battery from damage, Moterra features a sealed battery cover and a burly, trials-style skid plate.
