As a result, the centre of gravity is low and the motor is in a position that allows for modern geometry with short chainstays. The effort is worth it, the bike sits firmly on the trail and the suspension works sensitively and effectively. Geometry, suspension and the entire equipment are clearly geared towards the roughest terrain. And the eye-catching bike has nothing to hide on the climbs either. However, the Moterra would benefit from a sharper uphill gear ratio. The geometry allows for even steeper ramps. Another plus: the powerful and efficient Bosch drive, already with the new E-MTB mode.
Conclusion: A flawless enduro with a unique look, powerful chassis and high-quality equipment.
