Cannondale Moto 4 (MSRP $3199.99) - Pick the adjective of choice for the Moto: Burly. Brawny. Beautiful. Bump-aliscious. For all-mountain riders on steeper terrain, the Moto shines. Revolutionary floating shock technology gobbles up baby-head sized rocks, and delivers premium suspension performance. Ultra-stiff bottom bracket shell resists torsional stress and the sloppy flex that takes away from the riding experience.

HATCHET DRIVE
Cannondale's engineers break rear shock stiction faster and have re-oriented shock forces in the frame with the floating shock of the Hatchet Drive for better real-world riding performance. Why call it the Hatchet Drive? The links look just like a hatchet. Go check it out.

PIVOT PLACEMENT
The lower pivot location - above and ahead of the BB shell creates a favorable angle of attack in the suspension motion ratio. This creates a bike with excellent pedaling performance and a suspension ratio curve with 160 mm of true travel.

ASYMETRIC STAYS AND PIVOTS
For the ultimate in power transfer and resistance to energy-sapping torsional flex, the Moto's chainstays and swingarm pivot are asymmetrically shaped. The designs also optimize our desire to shave unneeded weight.
