MOTO 160 ALL MOUNTAIN: The Moto is the lightest 160mm travel all mountain trail bike on the market. Less weight means faster acceleration, and faster acceleration means you can find that magical sweet spot called “fun” in a heartbeat. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE MOTO: - Lightweight performance. - Excellent pedaling efficiency. - Unbelievable frame rigidity. - Optimized bump response. - Style and strength from industrial design. CARBON FRONT TRIANGLE: - Hydroformed high modulus mainframe and select suspension links. - 7 bladder molding process as opposed to 4 used by other manufacturers. - 2,885g frame weight including swingarm, paintwork and all hardware. - Organically shaped oversized down tube provides strength and torsional rigidity. - Bottom bracket shell and lower pivot are sandwiched between two carbon fiber plates for increased torsional resistance. - The Devil upfront. Oversized 66.6mm diameter “Diablo” head tube integrated with industrial design of the down tube for excellent steering precision. - Two head tube lengths depending on frame size to optimize rider height and eliminate heavy headset spacers. HATCHET DRIVE: - Revolutionary “Hatchet Drive” 160mm floating shock technology liberates the frame from traditional top-tube mounted, single-pivot suspension systems. - Force Dispersion Technology of the Hatchet Drive design re-distributes shock forces towards the head tube, the strongest junction on the bicycle frame, and to the bottom bracket providing longevity and durability. - Hatchet Drive and floating shock technology break shock seal stiction faster because the suspension actuates both ends of the shock, as opposed to just one for supple and responsive small bump performance. - Exclusive tuned suspension by specialist shock engineers at Cannondale and Fox. ASYMETRIC SWINGARM - Integrated shock mount on the swingarm simultaneously saves weight and stiffens frame. - Swingarm and suspension linkages are machined to removing unnecessary material while retaining strength. - The swingarm stays use ultra-light tubing to shave weight whilst maintaining rigidity. - Oversized bearing on the non-drive side withstands aggressive pedaling forces. - Drive side bearing size is maximized whilst still allowing chain clearance. - Asymetric swingarm chain stays optimize stiffness and strength while allowing full action of suspension. - Dropouts ready to accept a variety of thru-hub designs including the ultra rigid 12mm Maxle. PEDALING PERFORMANCE Lightweight, unbelievable frame rigidity, correct pivot placement & optimized suspension performance = Excellent pedaling efficiency. SIZES: S, M, L & XL WARRANTY: Lifetime frame warranty with no rider weight limit! WEBSITE: www.cannondale.com

We’ve heard it all before…

“The bike doesn’t do this, the bike doesn’t do that”

So what do you do?

Easy. Build a new bike.

- One that’s so packed with innovation it performs better than any of its predecessors.

- A bike that’s so technically advanced and versatile that it defies categorization.

- A bike called…

Find another bike that does as much as the Moto and hang it on a scale.

Chances are it will weigh 17kg/38lb or more.

The Moto is a carbon fiber bike with 160mm travel, but weighs 13.5kg/30lb

Q) What happens when you shave this amount of weight off of a bike with 160mm travel?

A) Lots, and it’s all good. Less weight means faster acceleration. Faster acceleration means you can find that magical sweet spot called “fun” in aacceleration means you can find that magical sweet spot called fun in a heartbeat.

Here’s how we do it…


11MOTO 11LightweightCARBONOn the all-carbon Moto, the frame and select suspension links are created from high-modulus carbon fiber.

7 bladders are used per frame instead of the common 4 to create a frame that weighs an astonishing 2,885g/6.35lb’s.


12MOTO 12LightweightSWINGARM

Integration can come in many forms, almost always to make the bike lighter.

The Moto integrates the shock mount on the swingarm, simultaneously saving weight and stiffening the frame.

Swingarm and suspension linkages are machined removing unneeded material while retaining strength.

The swingarm stays use super light tubing to shave weight whilstThe swingarm stays use super-light tubing to shave weight whilst maintaining rigidity.

Stiffness

Innovative engineering solutions are used to make the stiffest, most efficient pedaling, trail bike on the market.

The bottom bracket shell and lower pivot are sandwiched between two carbon fiber plates for increased torsional resistance.

StiffnessASYMMETRYA larger (Judge sized) bearing on the non-drive side withstands aggressive pedaling forces.

On the drive side, bearing size is maximized whilst still allowing chain clearance.

Asymmetric swingarm chain stays optimize stiffness and strength while allowing f ffull action of suspension with chain clearance.

Bump ResponseWhen we’re not in polite company, we refer to the Moto as a “bump gobbler”. One ride and you’ll know why. It chews up curbs and skull sized rocks with ease.

The heart of this is the Hatchet Drive. A revolutionary floating shock suspension system.

The follo ing elements facilitate in pro iding the Moto ith s perb b mpThe following elements facilitate in providing the Moto with superb bump response characteristics:

- Performance-tuned suspension ratios

Bump ResponseHATCHET DRIVEThe 160mm floating shock technology of the Moto’s Hatchet Drive liberates the frame from traditional top-tube mounted, single-pivot suspension systems.

On a bike as big as the Moto, mounting the shock to the top tube would exerted tremendous strain on the frame.


23MOTO 23

Bump ResponseHATCHET DRIVE“Force Dispersion Technology” - The Hatchet Drive design re-distributes shock forces towards the head tube, the strongest junction on the bicycle frame, and to the b tt b k tbottom bracket.

The result gives the Moto longevity, very much appreciated by hard-core trail riders.


24MOTO 24

Bump ResponsePIVOT PLACEMENTThe lower pivot location creates a favorable angle of attack for the suspension. Pivot location above and ahead of the bottom bracket shell also reduces chain growth and pedal feedbackgrowth and pedal feedback.

The Moto rides without having to worry about how pedaling interacts with the suspension setup.


25MOTO 25

Bump ResponsePERFORMANCE-TUNED SUSPENSIONThe Moto retains the big hit absorbing characteristics of the Perp, but with an added element.

The Hatchet Drive and floating shock technology break shock seal stiction faster because the suspension actuates both ends of the shock, as opposed to just one.

The design also distributes shock forces to the strongest parts of the frame, the head tube g gjunction and bottom bracket shell.
