E-Performance: The new Cannondale models Moterra Neo 5 and Moterra Neo 5+ are sporty and agile all-rounders that not only make the descent fun, but also make the climb child's play. It doesn't matter whether it's rough and steep or fast and flowing. The fully integrated e-bike brings fun and freedom.
Highlights
The Smart Form C2 aluminum construction gives the Cannondale Moterra Neo 5 and 5+ good performance combined with an attractive price. The design is not neglected and all drive electronics are neatly integrated and make a slim impression.
An X-Fusion damper works at the rear of each e-bolide, which, together with the 4-link rear structure, releases 150mm of spring travel. The engineers made sure to design the traction and pedaling behavior as optimally as possible.
In addition, the Americans rely on the specially developed LockR-Pivot system, which stiffens the rear triangle again. The Cannondale Moterra Neo 5 and 5+ models should have lively and direct trail behavior.
E-Performance
A Shimano drive is used for support. The Shimano Steps E-7000 drive on the Cannondale Moterra Neo 5 and the Shimano Steps E-8000 drive on the Moterra Neo 5+. Both drive systems offer 250 maximum power, the Shimano Steps E-8000 motor with 70 Nm has 10 Nm more torque than its little brother.
The fully integrated Shimano BT-8034 battery with a total capacity of 504 Wh provides the necessary power. This gives you enough range for a good amount of altitude or even long distances on the flat. Visually, this integrates neatly into the down tube and can also be removed without any problems.
