Cannondale Moterra SL 1 Reserve Edition

Cannondale Moterra SL 1 – Full Power. Less Weight. More Trail.

Why choose between the power of a full-power e-MTB and the agile handling of a lightweight trail bike? The Cannondale Moterra SL 1 brings both together. Its lightweight carbon frame is paired with a powerful Shimano EP801 motor delivering 85 Nm of torque and a specially developed 601 Wh battery. The result is an electric mountain bike that charges confidently up steep climbs while remaining impressively agile, direct and playful on the way back down. It is the perfect choice for riders who refuse to compromise on the trail.

85 Nm to power your way to the top

Specially tuned for the Moterra SL, the Shimano EP801 delivers 85 Nm of torque for powerful assistance on steep and technical climbs. Four dedicated support modes – Eco, Trail 1, Trail 2 and Boost – allow the motor characteristics to be adapted to the terrain and your riding style. Power comes from the compact 601 Wh battery, combining plenty of capacity with a design focused on keeping overall weight down.

Carbon, FlexPivot and 150 mm of trail performance

At the heart of the Moterra SL 1 is its full-carbon frame with 150 mm of rear travel and Cannondale's FlexPivot technology. Proportional Response suspension kinematics are tuned according to frame size to deliver excellent traction, control and a natural ride feel. An adjustable headset also allows the head angle to be altered by 1.2 degrees, letting you tune the bike towards either sharper handling or greater high-speed stability.

Fox Factory – ready when the trail gets serious

There are no compromises when it comes to suspension. Up front, the Fox Float 36 Factory fork delivers a generous 160 mm of travel, while a Fox Float X Factory shock controls the rear. Roots, rock gardens, fast descents and big hits – this suspension setup is ready to unlock the Moterra SL 1's full potential on demanding trails.

High-end equipment for maximum performance

The drivetrain continues the performance-focused approach. SRAM's wireless XO Eagle AXS T-Type 12-speed system delivers fast and precise shifting while being designed to handle the demands of modern e-MTB riding. High-quality wheels, powerful four-piston brakes and aggressive Maxxis tires complete a package built to be ridden hard.

The mullet wheel setup adds another dimension to its handling. A 29-inch front wheel provides confidence, stability and excellent rollover performance, while the smaller 27.5-inch rear wheel keeps the bike agile and playful. The result is a machine that feels equally at home charging through fast sections, carving tight corners or tackling technical terrain.

An e-MTB built for riders who want more

The Cannondale Moterra SL 1 isn't simply designed to get you to the top faster. It is built to make the ride back down just as exciting. Full-power assistance, a lightweight carbon chassis, 150/160 mm of suspension travel and premium components come together in an e-MTB that blurs the line between lightweight electric mountain bikes and traditional full-power machines.

More elevation, more descents, more speed and, above all, more fun – the Moterra SL 1 is made for riders who want to get the maximum out of every trail.
