Take on the big technical terrain, those rugged drop off’s, it also rails precisely where you want to pin it too! uncommonly agile, with its lower centre of gravity design of keeping the motor and battery components as low as possible, modern geometry and shorter chainstays mean the Monterra’s handling is in a class of its own.
Cannondale has re-designed the Moterra around One size doesn’t fit all. Riders come in all sizes. The proportional response is the only design that addresses this fact, tailoring the suspension layout by size so that every rider gets optimal traction, suppleness and control.
