The Lightest Full-Power Mountain Bike Ever*

Moterra SL 2 is the first 150mm trail bike to pack 85Nm of torque, 600W+ of sustained output, and 601Wh of power into a machine weighing as little as 19.3kg /43lbs. Full-power fun meets lightweight agility – it’s in a class of its own. *eMTB with drive unit capable of at least 85Nm of torque and battery capacity of at least 600Wh.

Model Description

If you’ve been looking for a ride-anything electric mountain bike that keeps weight low but fun high, you’ve found it. The Moterra SL 2 features our lightest, full-power eMTB chassis, with premium Fox Performance 36 fork and shock, the reliable shifting of Shimano's 12-speed Deore group, Stan’s Arch MK4 tubeless ready rims, and the confident stopping power of Deore 4-piston disc brakes.

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
• Premium Fox suspension - 160mm Performance Float 36 fork & Performance Elite Float X rear shock
• Reliable, smooth shifting, Shimano XT/Deore 12-speed w/ e*thirteen e*spec Plus cranks
• Powerful, dependable Shimano Deore 6120 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes
• Cannondale-tuned Shimano EP801 motor & custom, high-energy-density 601Wh internal battery

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.

Full Boost

Power comes from a custom-tuned version of Shimano’s EP801 drive unit – the lightest motor capable of the big power we were looking for. With 85Nm of torque and 600+ watts of max output, it brings big-time boost to the lightweight party. 

Power a la Mode

We developed custom ride modes for Moterra SL, specially tuned for the kind of high-speed sessions this rig encourages. Four different levels of boost, easily adjustable on the fly, help you choose between maximum range, monstrous power, or your ideal blend of both. Whether mild or wild, your ride will be whatever you want it to be, no more and no less.

Heavenly Handling

At a glance, it looks kinda crazy – an adjustable head angle slack enough for a DH bike, the long reach and steep seat angle of a modern trail bike, suspension layout and geometry fully customized by size – but when it all comes together, it absolutely rips.

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.
