Bosch Performance Line CX Motor
At the heart of the Moterra 4+ is the Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System motor. This mid-drive unit supports the rider’s pedalling effort when climbing steep slopes, riding technical terrain and covering longer distances.
The Bosch LED Remote provides easy access to assistance modes and essential system information. Actual motor output depends on the system configuration, installed software and riding mode.
With its balanced frame design and responsive drive system, the Moterra 4+ is intended for riders who want strong climbing support without compromising the active character of mountain biking.
800 Wh Battery & Range
The integrated Bosch PowerTube battery delivers 800 Wh of rated energy capacity. Its removable design allows the battery to be charged or stored separately when appropriate.
A Bosch 4A charger is included in the standard specification. The bicycle is also compatible with the optional Bosch PowerMore range extender, which is sold separately.
Actual riding range depends on assistance mode, rider and equipment weight, gradients, temperature, trail surface and riding style. No fixed distance per charge is guaranteed.
Full Suspension for Technical Riding
The SR Suntour Zeron 36-X Boost air fork provides 160 mm of front suspension travel, with adjustable compression and rebound to help manage rough trail surfaces.
At the rear, a RockShox Deluxe Select DebonAir+ shock works with Cannondale’s suspension system to provide 150 mm of rear wheel travel.
This suspension combination helps maintain traction and control through roots, rocks, uneven climbs and challenging descents.
Shimano CUES 11-Speed Drivetrain
Shimano CUES U6000 11-speed gearing uses durable LinkGlide technology to support consistent shifting during demanding everyday and off-road use.
The wide-range 11–50T cassette provides climbing-friendly gearing while retaining suitable ratios for flatter sections and descents. A Shimano LG500 LinkGlide chain completes the drivetrain.
Confident Hydraulic Braking
Tektro Gemini SL four-piston hydraulic disc brakes provide controlled braking for steep gradients and varied riding conditions.
Large 203 mm front and rear rotors help manage braking demands during technical descents and longer mountain bike rides.
29-Inch Wheels & Trail Tyres
The Moterra 4+ features 29-inch wheels built with WTB ST i30 TCS tubeless-compatible rims and Shimano hubs.
Schwalbe Magic Mary Performance 29 x 2.4-inch tyres provide traction for appropriate mountain bike trails, while the generous wheel diameter supports rolling over uneven terrain.
SmartForm C1 Aluminium Frame
Cannondale’s SmartForm C1 aluminium construction provides a robust platform with integrated battery storage, an alloy motor skid plate, internal cable routing and a UDH-compatible rear dropout.
The frame is designed around Cannondale’s size-specific suspension approach, helping create consistent handling across different frame sizes.
Comfort & Rider Control
A Cannondale aluminium riser handlebar, TaperRidge grips and WTB Silverado saddle provide a trail-focused riding position.
The Cannondale DownLow dropper seatpost allows riders to lower the saddle for technical descents and raise it for seated climbing.
Accessories & Equipment
The Moterra 4+ is a trail-focused electric mountain bike rather than a fully equipped commuting model. Front and rear lights, full mudguards and a luggage carrier are not included in the confirmed standard specification.
Compatible accessory mounting provisions are integrated into the frame. Pedals are not included and must be selected separately.
