Cannondale Moterra Neo SE review (2020) - MBR

Oct 2020 · Alan Muldoon

Cannondale Moterra Neo SE has been modified for more extreme riding; same 160mm travel frame but it has been hopped up with a 180mm RockShox Boxxer fork.

Highs
  • Great suspension response.

Lows
  • Switchbacks are its nemesis.

  • No reverse mode.

Cannondale Moterra 1 in Review

Dec 2019 · Felix Stix, Robin Schmitt, Jonas Müssig

The Cannondale Moterra 1 wants to combine everyday practicality and trail performance in one bike. Can it deliver or is it a "blinder"?

Highs
  • Good-natured, easy handling

  • Frame size specific wheel sizes

  • Excellent brakes

  • Supernova headlight as standard

Lows
  • Positioning of the Kiox display on the stem

  • Puncture-prone rear tire (when riding hard)

Cannondale Moterra LT 1 review

Nov 2018 · Seb Stott

A relatively chuckable e-bike with good parts, but slightly short sizing makes for awkward handling

Highs
  • Easy to manual and bunnyhop thanks to short chainstays and central weight distribution, good pedal clearance on the climbs, puncture-resistant tyres

Lows
  • Short wheelbase and high bottom-bracket hinder the handling, tiring on long and rough descents

Cannondale Moterra 2 Review - Prices, Specs, Videos, Photos

Jun 2017

Price: $5499.00 | Model Year: 2017 A Bosch powered Trail style electric mountain bike with custom battery and motor integration, unique batt-strap protection system, high-torque CX motor with eMTB mode. Shimano SLX groupset includes a 1x11 drivetrain with Shadow Plus chain clutch, 180 mm hydraulic disc brakes with Ice-Tech heat sinks, and finger adjustable levers. A Bosch powered Trail style electric mountain bike with custom battery and motor integration, unique batt-strap protection system, high-torque CX motor with eMTB mode.

Observations
  • A Bosch powered Trail style electric mountain bike with custom battery and motor integration, unique batt-strap protection system, high-torque CX motor with eMTB mode

  • Shimano SLX groupset includes a 1x11 drivetrain with Shadow Plus chain clutch, 180 mm hydraulic disc brakes with Ice-Tech heat sinks, and finger adjustable levers

  • Plus sized Schwalbe Nobby Nic tires provide float and comfort, Boost hubs and thru-axles increase stiffness, shorter chainstays make the bike nimble

  • The semi-integrated battery takes more effort and time to get off the bike than most other Bosch models but the downtube isn't excessively wide, linkage driven single pivot suspension isn't as good for limiting for bobbing and braking feedback
