Cannondale Moterra SL 1 2025

The Lightest Full-Power Mountain Bike Ever

Moterra SL is the first 150mm trail bike to pack 85Nm of torque, 600W+ of peak output, and 601Wh of power into a machine weighing as little as 19.7kg /43.4lbs. Full-power fun meets lightweight agility – it’s in a class of its own. Full-power thrills meet lightweight agility in this category-defining electric mountain bike. Fast, fluid, ridiculously fun trail riding on everything from the steep and techy to the fast and flowy.

High on Power, Low on Weight
Electric mountain bikes with this much power on tap have never been this light. The lightweight carbon fiber frame features the weight-saving FlexPivot technology, and houses a custom battery that packs more watts per kilo than any other on the market. That unmatched power-to-weight ratio makes for one hell of a fun ride.

Power a la Mode
We developed custom ride modes for Moterra SL, specially tuned for the kind of high-speed sessions this rig encourages. Four different levels of boost, easily adjustable on the fly, help you choose between maximum range, monstrous power, or your ideal blend of both. Whether mild or wild, your ride will be whatever you want it to be, no more and no less.

Designed for you
With the Proportional Response design, everything from the suspension layout to the geometry — even the length of the chain stays — is completely customized for each bike’s size. It’s performance, built just for you.

Route it right
You can run internal cables straight through the headset, to keep things looking clean and out of harm’s way, or through ports in the frame, for simplicity and ease of service.

Don't Be Bashful
Like a helmet for your motor, an integrated bashguard protects it from harsh impacts on the trail. You may not need it much, but when you do, you’re happy it’s there.
