CannondaleTrail Neo
e-mtb
01
Origin
The Trail Neo is Cannondale's hardtail e-MTB — bringing Bosch Performance Line power to the proven Trail alloy platform. It covers the widest range of the e-MTB lineup, from the Trail Neo 4 (accessible entry with 500 Wh and 63 Nm) up to the Trail Neo 1 (750 Wh and 85 Nm Bosch CX for long days and steep climbing). The alloy frame keeps cost accessible while delivering all the Bosch system reliability and display integration. A solid choice for riders who want e-assist on trails without full-suspension weight and complexity.
