01
Origin
The Moterra Neo is Cannondale's full-power electric trail/enduro bike. The modern versions run Bosch's Performance Line CX Smart System with a big 750 Wh down-tube battery, giving long days in the hills with 85 Nm of punch. Standard builds offer around 150 mm of travel; the LT long-travel variant pushes to 170 mm up front and 165 mm out back with a mullet wheel setup for descents. Clever size-specific wheel sizing — 29" on larger frames, a 27.5" rear on small and LT frames — keeps the handling balanced across riders.
