2026 Cannondale Moterra SL 1
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.
Highlights
- Light and durable, full carbon, 150mm travel FlexPivot frame with Proportional Response suspension kinematics
- Top-of-the-line Fox Factory suspension – 160mm Factory Float 36 fork & Factory Float X rear shock
- SRAM’s penultimate e-MTB group - XO AXS wireless 12-speed shifting, plus e*thirteen Race Carbon cranks & Magura MT7 hydraulic disc brakes
- Light and tough, DT Swiss XM 1700 Spline, tubeless-ready all-mountain wheelset
- OneUp V3 dropper post & Hollowgram SAVE vibration-reducing carbon handlebar
- Cannondale-tuned Shimano EP801 motor & custom, high-energy-density 601Wh internal battery
