[[{“value”:”The recently updated Cannondale Moterra LT flew a little under the radar at launch due to the recent Avinocalypse. Cannondale isn’t a brand that always makes a big shout with their launches, which is a bit of a disservice to their consistently solid-performing bikes that our crew thoroughly enjoy. In the end though, from its stealthy paint job to the brand’s image and even the character on trail, the silent assassin seems to be an appropriate moniker for the LT1. This long-travel, Bosch CX-equipped enduro eBike did plenty of slaying once we got it onto the trail, offering stellar bump-eating capabilities and a dialled overall ride.
Did Cannondale’s $8,499 165/170mm eMTB do enough to impress our crew as it went up against 15 of the best electric mountain bikes on the market?

These intensive group reviews would not be possible without some amazing partners. Their support ensures our entire crew can ride all these bikes on a variety of terrain to establish real-world data for our audience.
Fox Racing kept the team warm during the odd storm, comfortable on hot days, and ensured we were always looking cool while staying protected.
Schwalbe Tires provided control tires with amazing and predictable performance, and 2 weeks of testing across the 15 test eMTBs with zero flat tires.
We’d also like to thank our destination hosts. We stayed at Glorieta Adventure Camps just outside Santa Fe, New Mexico and we were supported by Sante Fe City and Santa Fe County and their Tourism Dept. Thanks for the hospitality, and you should definitely get down there for yourself!
