The Cannondale Moterra range expands with the Neo 5 and Neo 5 Plus models. The geometric and technical characteristics remain the same but the Moterra Neo 5 models will have an aluminum frame, therefore a less valuable material to slightly reduce the cost.
The Cannondale Moterra Neo 5 and Neo 5 Plus frame is not in carbon, but in SmartForm C2 aluminum, with rear travel of 150 mm and suspension layout with Horst joint and provision for a 140 mm front fork.
The wheels are 29 ", while the recommended section for the tires is 2.3".
The Cannondale Moterra Neo 5 and Neo 5 Plus are equipped with Shimano Steps systems instead of the Bosch ones, respectively the Steps E7000 with a maximum torque of 60 Nm for the Neo 5 and the Steps E8000 with a maximum torque of 70 Nm for the Neo 5 Plus.
The battery, in both cases is 504 Wh, integrated in the down tube.
The set-ups include 10-speed Shimano Deore groups, with SR Suntour (fork) and X-Fusion (shock absorber) suspensions, therefore cheaper but still functional.
