Bosch Performance Line CX Motor
The Cannondale Moterra 4+ features the Bosch Performance Line CX Smart System motor, engineered for natural-feeling pedal assistance when climbing steep gradients and riding across technical terrain.
The motor supports the rider’s pedalling effort, helping maintain momentum through demanding sections without removing the physical engagement of mountain biking.
A Bosch LED Remote provides access to assistance modes and essential system information. The system is also compatible with supported Bosch Smart System features.
800 Wh Battery & Riding Range
The integrated Bosch PowerTube 800 battery provides 800 Wh of rated energy capacity. Its removable design offers convenient charging and allows the battery to be stored separately when appropriate.
The standard equipment includes a Bosch 4A charger. The Moterra 4+ also supports the optional Bosch PowerMore range extender, available separately.
Actual riding distance varies with assistance level, trail gradients, rider weight, temperature, tyre pressure and riding conditions. No fixed distance per charge is guaranteed.
Full Suspension for Technical Trails
A 160 mm SR Suntour Zeron 36-X Boost air fork provides front suspension with adjustable compression and rebound. It is designed to handle repeated impacts and maintain control on uneven mountain bike trails.
At the rear, the RockShox Deluxe Select DebonAir+ shock works with Cannondale’s tuned suspension system to deliver 150 mm of rear wheel travel. Adjustable rebound enables riders to tailor the rear suspension response to their weight and riding preferences.
Together, the suspension components offer traction and control on rocky sections, roots, steep descents and other appropriate all-mountain terrain.
Shimano CUES 11-Speed Drivetrain
The Moterra 4+ features Shimano CUES U6000 11-speed mechanical shifting with LinkGlide technology. The drivetrain uses an 11–50T cassette to provide a wide range of gears for climbing and descending.
LinkGlide components are designed with durability and consistent shifting in mind, making them well suited to the demands of an electric mountain bike.
The Shimano LG500 chain and FSA Bosch e-bike crankset complete the drivetrain.
Hydraulic Braking Performance
Tektro Gemini SL four-piston hydraulic disc brakes provide controlled stopping power on demanding off-road routes.
With large 203 mm rotors at the front and rear, the braking system is designed to support confident speed management on long descents and challenging trails.
29-Inch Wheels & Trail Handling
The Moterra 4+ rolls on 29-inch wheels fitted with WTB ST i30 TCS tubeless-compatible rims. The generous rim width provides a suitable foundation for wide mountain bike tyres.
Trail-oriented Schwalbe Magic Mary tyres are specified on Cannondale’s European build, offering dependable grip on appropriate off-road surfaces.
Cannondale’s Proportional Response approach helps align the bicycle’s geometry and suspension characteristics with different frame sizes.
Frame Design & Rider Comfort
The SmartForm C1 aluminium frame features a removable downtube battery, internal cable routing, UDH-compatible rear derailleur hanger and an alloy skid plate protecting the motor area.
An 800 mm Cannondale riser handlebar, TaperRidge grips and WTB Silverado Medium saddle create a trail-focused cockpit.
A Cannondale DownLow dropper seatpost allows riders to lower the saddle for descents and raise it for efficient seated climbing. Dropper travel varies according to frame size.
Accessory Compatibility
The frame includes compatibility for a suitable kickstand and mounting provisions for compatible luggage carrier and mudguard accessories. These accessories are not included in the confirmed standard specification.
The bicycle is supplied without pedals, allowing riders to choose their preferred flat or clipless pedals separately.
