High power, low weight

Powerful electric mountain bikes have never been so light. To keep weight to a minimum, the Moterra SL's carbon fiber frame incorporates FlexPivot technology in the swingarm, and an exclusive front triangle battery with the highest watts-to-kilo ratio on the market. This unmatched power-to-weight ratio makes riding it a joy.

Maximum acceleration

The custom Shimano EP801 motor is the lightest motor capable of delivering the high power we sought. With 85Nm of torque and over 600W of maximum power, it has an excellent power-to-weight ratio.

Customized power

We've designed custom assistance modes for the Moterra SL, specifically tailored to the high-speed outings this bike demands.

Four different assistance levels, easily adjustable on the fly, help you choose between maximum range, brutal power, or a personal mix suitable for your riding style or type of route. Whether powerful or smooth, the motor always responds to your preference.

Incredible handling

At first glance, it seems insane, with an adjustable head angle relaxed enough for a DH bike, a long reach, and a vertical seat tube like a modern trail bike, plus exclusive geometry and suspension in each size. But when it all adds up, the result is unparalleled.

Active suspension

At the heart of our suspension system are our robust FlexPivot stays, which do much more than just save weight. Acting as a Horst Link-type joint, they create a true 4-bar system that allows our engineers to finely tune the suspension kinematics.

The result? Incredible ability to read the terrain, independent braking, and a very capable response that encourages you to push harder.
