Geometry
What's all this SL about then?
High on Power, Low on Weight
Electric mountain bikes with this much power on tap have never been this light. The lightweight carbon fiber frame features our weight-saving FlexPivot technology, and houses a custom battery that packs more watts per kilo than any other on the market. That unmatched power-to-weight ratio makes for one hell of a fun ride.
Moterra SL | FlexPivot
Animated Suspension
More than just weight-savers, our burly FlexPivot stays are also at the heart of our suspension design. By acting as a Horst pivot, it creates a true four-bar system, allowing our engineers to dial in the perfect suspension response for every input. The result? Incredible traction, confident braking, and a playful feel that just begs to be pushed harder.

Designed with purpose
- Lefty Suspension® For over 20 years, Lefty has been smoother, stiffer, and more precise than anything else out there. When it comes to suspension performance, Lefty stands alone.
- SmartSense™ SmartSense is Cannondale’s unique, discrete, and fully-integrated ecosystem of on-bike lights, rear-facing radar, sensors, and connected smartphone app. Designed to enhance visibility and awareness for you and other road-users alike, it’s the clever companion that inspires you to ride more, and with more confidence.
- HeadShok™ Urban front suspension that’s head and shoulders above the rest. HeadShok delivers more comfort and control, with less weight, less wear, and less maintenance than conventional forks.
- Delta Steerer Delta is an innovative steerer tube design that’s exclusive to Cannondale. The unique v-shape enables cables to be routed internally while minimizing the headtube’s frontal area, resulting in sleeker looks and less aero drag than other internally-routed road and gravel bikes.
