Cannondale Moterra 3 Review

Simple, plain, functional. That's how you could describe the concept of the Moterra Neo 3 in three words.
Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX shows. No matter how steep or technical the climb is: the Bosch motor makes it conquerable! At the same time, the drive provides a very natural feeling while riding with a dynamic power delivery. This great combination mixed with lots of power, is something only a few other motors at Bosch's level can achieve. Thanks to the excellent range, you should no longer have any range problems.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Cannondale Moterra 3 in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (6000) .

As the hits get faster and harder the average chassis limits the downhill fun. At the brakes, Cannondale middle class four pistons brakes by Shimano are used. The average shifting components and accessories leave some tuning potential open. For most e-bikers, this should be an acceptable point. The handling of the bike is pleasantly balanced due to the moderate geometry. This allows you to intuitively control the bike over the trails. The low bottom bracket height will likely be a sticking point for trail riders, as it negatively affects handling. Overall, the geometry does not seem to be up to date anymore. The competition is significantly more modern in this regard.

Conclusion


Expirience with the Cannondale Moterra 3

With an amazing range and a good motor the Moterra Neo 3 counts among the better climbers on the market. This emphasizes its fun factor on long tours on challenging single trails. Nevertheless, a mediocre groupset also give cause for criticism. We have to stay honest. Praise-worthy: 25 years of Warranty on the Frame!
