Manufacturer's description

Rugged, responsive, and ready for anything—Moterra 3 has everything needed to tackle big days on the trail. The 150mm travel SmartForm C1 Alloy frame, huge 800Wh battery, and Bosch’s most powerful CX motor make short work of long climbs. A 160mm RockShox Psylo Silver RC fork and Deluxe Select shock ensure a controlled, responsive ride, while Shimano CUES U6000 shifting and MT520 4-piston brakes provide reliability you can count on. Ready to roll with WTB/Shimano wheels, it’s a no-nonsense trail companion.
