About the build
The drivetrain is the build's weakest link at Balanced-tier — the crank is what holds it there, while the rest reaches Performance — and the motor sits at Elite-tier. At Elite-tier, the motor is among the best you see for the money here. The price is among the lowest for e-MTBs with a comparable component level. Geometry figures are missing from the manufacturer, so there's no fit or handling assessment here.
Worth knowing
- 2,5" tyres, tubeless-ready
- 85 Nm and 601 Wh — moderate power and range for an e-MTB

Manufacturer's description
The Moterra SL 2 moves with force, speed, and absolute intent. Built around our lightest, full-power eMTB chassis, it has 150mm of Proportional Response Tuned Suspension to keep the ride composed on the climbs and unshaken in the descents. FlexPivot chainstays absorb impact without stealing momentum. Shimano’s EP801 drive unit, tuned for instant response, fires off 85Nm of torque on command, while XT 12-speed shifts with predictable precision. Fox Float X Performance Elite suspension grips the terrain, keeping traction locked through every twist, drop, and landing. The Mullet Wheelset—29” up front, 27.5” in the back—delivers high-speed control with quick, agile handling. Magura MT5 four-piston brakes bite when the moment calls for it, and a custom 601Wh battery ensures the ride lasts longer than the daylight.
