Cannondale Moterra Neo Carbon LT 2 (2023)

Cannondale Moterra Neo Carbon 2 LT - Brand new: The Moterra as an enduro with 170 mm chassis.

The Moterra has always poached with its riding characteristics in the application range of an enduro. But for the really blocked trails, the chassis lacked ultimately but swallowing capacity. Exactly these crucial centimeters more Cannondale has now given the new Moterra Neo LT (Long Travel). A full 170 millimeters of travel are available on the RockShox Zeb Select fork, 165 mm are available on the rear triangle. In addition, a RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock with steel spring works, which feels like much more with its linear characteristic curve. Another difference to the normal Moterra is the mixed wheelset with 29-inch front wheel and 27.5-inch rear wheel. This trick lets the chassis roll over obstacles even easier. The fact that the Moterra Neo LT is also still a good all-rounder is thanks to the powerful Bosch Performance CX drive with 750 watt-hour battery, which easily makes up for the extra weight of the chassis. Now you can heat down your favorite trail even more often. Even if the route is hidden far away in the high mountains. You will experience it yourself: The new Moterra Neo LT rides in a league of its own.
