Cannondale Treadwell Neo 2 EQ

The 2024 Cannondale Treadwell Neo 2 EQ is a versatile e-bike designed specifically for urban use. With a price tag of EUR 1999, this model offers an impressive combination of comfort, performance and functionality. The bike's frame is made from SmartForm C3 Alloy and is characterised by a low standover height and ride-easy geometry, which ensures a comfortable riding position. The internal battery integration in the down tube and the hidden cable routing give the bike a tidy appearance. The Urban Armor frame bumpers offer additional protection.

Braking performance is provided by Tektro hydraulic disc brakes (HD-R280) with 160 mm rotors at the front and rear, which guarantee reliable stops even in wet conditions. Shifting is realised by a microSHIFT M26S system with 8 gears, controlled by a microSHIFT 8-speed shifter. The fork is also made of SmartForm C3 Alloy and offers additional flexibility with its OutFront offset and mounting options for pannier racks and mudguards.

The Treadwell Neo 2 EQ is equipped with a Herrmans front and rear light, which ensure good visibility in traffic. The Cannondale comfort pedals and grips contribute to a pleasant riding experience. The drive of the e-bike is supported by a Hyena MRC-250 250W rear hub motor, powered by a 250Wh internal downtube battery, which can be controlled via a handlebar-mounted Hyena HMI display or a smartphone app.

The bike has a Samox crankset with a 38T chainring and a Sunrace cassette (11-34, 8-speed). The chain is a KMC X8. The bike's handlebar is the Cannondale Cruise Control Riser made of 6061 Alloy with a width of 740 mm and a backsweep of 15 degrees. The stem is the Cannondale 3 with Intellimount and a direct light mounting point.

The wheels are double-walled Cannondale disc rims with 32 spoke holes and stainless steel spokes. The tyres are Maxxis DTR-1 in size 650b x 47c, both front and rear. The saddle is the Cannondale Treadwell with steel stays, mounted on a 6061 Alloy seat post (31.6x400mm). The bike is also equipped with aluminium mudguards and a front carrier.

With a weight of 53000 g and a well thought-out geometry (reach: 390 mm, stack: 610 mm, seat tube length: 513 mm, top tube length: 600 mm, head tube angle: 71 degrees, seat tube angle: 71 degrees, head tube length: 196 mm, chainstay length: 460 mm, fork pre-bend: 55 mm, standover height: 747 mm, wheelbase: 1092 mm), the Treadwell Neo 2 EQ is a well-balanced e-bike for everyday use in the city.
