In It to Pin It

Just call it the “sweet spot” – the best of both worlds. Big-bike power and ride time, with lightweight-bike agility and handling. In other words, exactly what e-mtb riders everywhere have been waiting for. Moterra SL might just be the most fun mountain bike we’ve ever made.

Model Description

With full-power thrills and lightweight agility, Moterra SL 1 is built to go faster, ride harder, and deliver the goods on all kinds of terrain. Our lightest, full-power eMTB chassis has 150mm of Proportional Response Tuned Suspension and FlexPivot chainstays to maximize traction without the weight. A custom tuned Shimano’s EP801 drive unit fires off 85Nm of torque the second your legs demand it, while the 601Wh battery delivers tons of range in a light package. Full Fox Factory suspension and rugged DT Swiss XM 1700 wheels track the terrain with unwavering grip, SRAM's XO AXS group cracks off crisp wireless shifts, and the mullet wheelset—29” up front, 27.5” in the back— balances party with precision.

What it's for

Fast, fluid, ridiculously fun trail riding on everything from the steep and techy to the fast and flowy.
