Cannondale Moterra Neo Carbon Lt 1, new electric mountain bike for 2022
New Cannondale Moterra Neo Carbon LT 1, a new enduro ebike from 2022.
Cannondale has gone a step further this year and has created something new within the American brand. It has made a variation within the Moterra range, which was already the most aggressive of this brand, and has created the Moterra Carbon LT range, an electric mountain bike with an enduro soul so that you can attack the descents with maximum confidence.
In this blog post we are going to explain all the details of this electric MTB, which is the top model of this new range that Cannondale has created this year. At LaBosch we have a large stock of electric mountain bikes , and this is one of the best we have.
Cannondale , which as you well know is the most innovative brand in the world of bicycles, has created this model this year which, as you can see, has a most aggressive appearance this year. This novelty from Cannondale is the first mountain ebike they make with this type of geometry, with a 29" wheel in front and 27.5" in the rear.
The frame that this electric mountain bike mounts, of course, is made of carbon. As you well know, the American brand is the queen in terms of carbon frames, due to design and reliability, in fact, they trust their frames so much that the frame guarantee with Cannondale is for life. This frame has a very careful line and the important part is that the swingarm has a different size for each size that makes this electric MTB, that is, what this does is that each Cannondale Moterra Neo Carbon LT 1 adapts perfectly to you.
As for the electrical part of this mountain ebike, it mounts the best power unit that exists on the market, how could it be otherwise, from Bosch of course. The motor is the Bosch Performance Line CX with 85 Nm of power. The battery, the new one that Bosch has released in 2022, the 750 Wh Bosch PowerTube with which you can travel long distances without problems, up to 120 km - 130 km. The Display is also new for this 2022, it is the Kiox 300, a small screen that gives you all the information of the route and that you can decide if you take it on your routes or not (we recommend that you do) but you can only control the levels of assistance with the Bosch remote control that tells you the levels of assistance by colors.
Another important and distinctive part of the Moterra Neo Carbon LT range are the suspensions. As you can see with the naked eye, the shock absorber is spring-loaded and the fork also has more travel than the conventional Moterra range. The fork is a 170mm RockShox ZEB and the spring shock is also a 160mm RockShox 2-position adjustable spring shock. In the video you can see how it is regulated. 
As for the components, we are not going to extend much, as you can imagine, they are the best on the market. SRAM 4-piston brakes, both front and rear, with cooled disc brakes, a Shimano XT 12-speed gearbox and a standard dropper post. The wheels, as we said at the beginning, are 29" in front and 27.5" Plus in the rear, with Maxxis tires with thick lugs so that you have good grip both uphill and downhill.

Pros and Cons of the Cannondale Moterra Neo Carbon LT 1:
The great advantage of this mountain ebike is that few improvements you could put on it. Being the top range, it has the best components on the market, so it has few failures. In addition, Cannondale manufactures the best frames on the market, we could say, especially when it comes to carbon, they play in another league. A great point in favor is that Cannondale has a lifetime guarantee on its frames, so you don't have to suffer for this. Something distinctive and that does not equip other electric mountain bikes are the lights. This Cannondale does come with a powerful Lezyne light as standard so you can ride when it gets dark without a problem.
We can find few weaknesses in this Cannodale, so we are going to fool ourselves, so more than disadvantages, what we want you to understand is that the most important thing when you buy an electric bicycle is that it adapts to you perfectly, it is In other words, if you know that you are not going to throw yourself on complicated trails, this electric MTB is not created for you. You would have to look for something with a more rolling geometry, such as having 29" wheels in front and behind. Ebikes of this type could be the Mustache Samedi 29 Trail , as Haibike Alltrail and some KTM as well.
