Cannondale, recently in the headlines due to its move under the Pon Holdings umbrella, is rolling out a new e-mountainbike in its portfolio: The existing Moterra Neo is being completely redesigned, including the new Bosch Smart System. In addition to the new LED remote, a battery with a capacity of 750 watt hours is also on board, instead of the previous 625 watt hours. This large power source requires a completely new frame, in which the familiar Bosch Performance CX is turned upside down to save space.

Cannondale also took this opportunity to adapt the geometry: a slack, yet moderate 65° head angle should ensure a more stable riding experience at higher speeds and on steep downhill sections. A seat angle of 77° increases pedaling efficiency and ensures better weight distribution on climbs.

The Moterra Neo will be available in three different platforms, in sizes Small to X-Large:

• Moterra Neo Carbon
• Moterra Neo Alloy
• Moterra Neo LT

The rear triangle of the Moterra Neo Carbon and Moterra Neo Alloy has 150 mm of suspension travel. The fork also provides 150 mm of travel. The Moterra Neo LT has 170 millimetres of travel at the front and 165 mm at the rear. It also has a 29" front wheel and a 27.5" rear wheel.

Most of the cockpit cables now enter the frame directly under the stem. This ensures a much cleaner and more modern look, based on a voluminous head tube with the dimensions 1.8 - 1.5". The UDH derailleur hanger from Sram is now emblazoned on the rear triangle for increased service-friendliness. For a high level of versatility, the frame also features bolt-on points and threads for pannier racks and kickstands as well as attachment points for a mudguard, which can be attached to the rear triangle.
