What's all this SL about then?
High on Power, Low on Weight
Electric mountain bikes with this much power on tap have never been this light. The lightweight carbon fiber frame features our weight-saving FlexPivot technology, and houses a custom battery that packs more watts per kilo than any other on the market. That unmatched power-to-weight ratio makes for one hell of a fun ride.

Animated Suspension
More than just weight-savers, our burly FlexPivot stays are also at the heart of our suspension design. By acting as a Horst pivot, it creates a true four-bar system, allowing our engineers to dial in the perfect suspension response for every input. The result? Incredible traction, confident braking, and a playful feel that just begs to be pushed harder.
Features
FlexPivot
These carbon flex points are something we pioneered years ago, and they’re like a cheat code in frame engineering. They reduce weight, eliminate maintenance, and they allow us to use a sophisticated four-bar suspension design, increasing your traction and control on the trail.
Designed for You
With our Proportional Response design, everything from the suspension layout to the geometry — even the length of the chain stays — is completely customized for each bike’s size. It’s performance, built just for you.
Flip It Your Way
The Flip Chip means you can choose between keeping Moterra Neo SL as a “mullet” bike, with the 29-inch-front/27.5-inch-rear wheel setup for agility and playfulness, or ir switching to 29-inchers at both ends, for maximum traction and rolling efficiency.
Get Your Head Set
Adjustable headset cups give you a 1.2-degree range of angle adjustment at the front. Dial it back if you want more stability at speed, set it steeper if you want more agility on technical terrain.
Shimano EP801 Drive Unit
Shimano’s top-shelf e-MTB system: lightweight, reliable, and powerful. 85Nm of torque and 600+ watts of max power, delivered via custom-engineered ride modes for full-power fun.
Custom-tuned Ride Modes
Specially designed assist modes for the perfect ride : ECO - max range for all-day exploits. TRAIL 1 – mid-power, great for riding with friends on lightweight e-bikes. TRAIL 2 - ramps up the assist for ripping with full-power e-bikes. And BOOST – full power, all the time. Have it your way.
Custom 601Wh Battery
Using special cells that store more power per kilo than ever before, we created an incredibly compact battery that packs a full 601 watt-hours into just 3.1 kg (including wiring harness!). All of the power, less of the weight.
Route it Right
You can run internal cables straight through the headset, to keep things looking clean and out of harm’s way, or through ports in the frame, for simplicity and ease of service.
Don't Be Bashful
Like a helmet for your motor, an integrated bashguard protects it from harsh impacts on the trail. You may not need it much, but when you do, you’re happy it’s there.
