Alloy Done Right

Cannondale’s been bending aluminum into awesomeness for decades. Forged with a SmartForm alloy frame, Moterra 3 (and 4) deliver a blend of trail-hungry toughness and lively handling. 150mm rear suspension, 160mm at the front, rolling on sturdy 29ers—it’s snappy in switchbacks, poised on sketchy descents, and alway game for roughin’ it.

Play With Power

Cranking out up to 120Nm of torque via Bosch’s Performance Line CX, this rig will make you grin on the climbs and laugh on the descents. Fueled by 800Wh or 600Wh PowerTube battery options, you’ve got enough juice to taunt gravity all day. Power delivery so smooth, immediate, and satisfying—you’ll swear it’s reading your intentions before you’ve even touched the pedals.
