Building on a Strong Foundation
The new Cannondale Moterra is a bike that has garnered a lot of attention, and for good reason. With its updated geometry and new carbon fiber frame, it’s clear that Cannondale has put a lot of thought into creating a bike that can handle a variety of terrain. But what makes the Moterra stand out from the competition?
Cannondale has taken a page out of the book of DJI, the company behind the popular Amflow motor, and has incorporated the Avinox motor into its latest model. But, unlike DJI, Cannondale has decided to stick with the proven Bosch motor, which has been a staple of the eMTB market for years.
A Proven Track Record
Bosch, in particular, has a reputation for being one of the most reliable motor manufacturers in the business. With its latest Gen 5 Performance Line CX motor, Cannondale has opted for a proven technology that has been battle-tested on some of the toughest trails around the world.
- Peak power: 600W
- Peak torque: 85Nm
- Silent no-knock ride
- Improved energy density reduces weight while upping capacity
