It offers the perfect balance—the best of both worlds. Plenty of power and long ride times combined with high agility and great handling thanks to its low weight. In short, the Moterra SL 2 e-bike from Cannondale is what e-mountain bikers have been waiting for. It might even be the most fun mountain bike Cannondale has ever built.

The Moterra SL 2 e-bike from Cannondale takes on the trail with power, speed, and absolute determination. Built on the lightest, most powerful e-MTB chassis, it features a Proportional Response suspension system with 150 mm of travel and tackles both uphills and downhills with a smooth, unwavering ride. The FlexPivot chainstays absorb shocks without losing momentum. Shimano’s EP801 Drive Unit converts every pedal stroke into forward momentum without delay and delivers up to 85 Nm of torque, while the XT 12-speed drivetrain shifts gears with precision. The Fox Float X Performance Elite suspension bites into the terrain and provides plenty of traction in every corner, on drops, and during landings. A mullet wheel setup—29” front wheel, 27.5” rear wheel—delivers plenty of control and agile handling at high speeds. The Magura MT5 4-piston disc brakes bite down powerfully when it counts. Plus, the custom-developed 601-Wh battery delivers enough juice to make the most of daylight until the very last second. Impressively fast and smooth trail fun—whether steep and technical or fast and flowing—this bike won’t let you down.
