Cannondale Moterra Carbon 2 Review

The elegant cable routing gives the Moterra Neo Carbon 2 a tidy look because there are no lines hanging around the handlebars.
Bosch is the major motor manufacturer in the EMTB world, alongside Shimano - and it's no surprise, as the Performance Line CX shows. The Bosch motor climbs steep ramps effortlessly. The very natural riding feeling combines the Bosch Performance Line CX with a dynamic power delivery. Achieving such a perfect balance between natural support and power is something few other engines can do. Fans of XXL tours will be happy with the Moterra Neo Carbon 2 due to ist excellent range.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Moterra Carbon 2 in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (7000) .

Rough descents take away some of the fear thanks to the average chassis. 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. In view of the high reach value, it becomes clear: The main frame is long. However, the generous reach is compensated for by a very short stem. This way, Cannondale creates a good weight distribution between the wheels and a balanced handling.

Conclusion


Expirience with the Cannondale Moterra Carbon 2

For long tours, the Moterra Neo Carbon 2 with an awesome range and a good motor is well equipped. Only with a middle ground chassis and an average brake system you have to look away. With a guarantee of 25 years, the warranty is generous.
