Fork
The Moterra Neo LT Carbon 2 comes factory-installed with the RockShox ZEB Select fork. This has a travel range of 170mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum up, when buying a bicycle, make sure you get a fork that is capable of delivering decent travel.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this e-bike is RockShox Deluxe Select+, with a travel distance of 160mm. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. To sum up, get a full-suspension bike if you want the smoothest rides.
Wheels
The wheels on Moterra Neo LT Carbon 2 are the 29″ aluminum type. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the e-bike itself.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Moterra Neo LT Carbon 2 has Hydraulic Disc brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.

Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
