Cannondale, renowned for its exceptional mountain and road bikes, is stepping up to the plate for urban cyclists with the introduction of the innovative Mavaro. This new electric bike not only features cutting-edge technology but also boasts a powerful motor designed for city commuting.
Powerhouse Performance from Bosch
The Mavaro is equipped with the latest Bosch Performance Line CX motor, offering an impressive 85 Nm of torque and 600 watts of power. With the option of 600 or 800 Wh PowerTube batteries, riders can enjoy an extended range of up to 185 km on a single charge under ideal conditions, making it perfect for daily journeys and weekend adventures.
A discreet mounting point located beneath the motor is compatible with the Bosch Connect module, enabling features such as GPS tracking, anti-theft measures, and remote deactivation, ensuring peace of mind for owners of this premium bike.
Bluetooth connectivity allows access to trip data and settings through the Cannondale or Bosch Flow app. With the SP-Connect Plus Intellimount system, attaching a smartphone to the stem provides a convenient display for GPS navigation and other crucial information.
Enhanced Comfort and Precision with the HeadShok System
The Mavaro showcases Cannondale’s expertise in suspension technology. For urban riders, the HeadShok fork promises “exceptionally smooth suspension” and a “frictionless” experience, thanks to innovative linear needle bearings in the head tube. Testing the bike will confirm these claims.
This unique design optimizes shock absorption while enhancing rigidity for precise steering. In addition, the aluminum frame is touted for its durability and strength.
Practical Features for City Living
Tailored for the urban lifestyle, the Mavaro includes versatile solutions for daily transport. The head tube holder supports up to 15 kg of load—ideal for a front basket or additional accessories. Meanwhile, the RackLock luggage rack at the back can bear up to 27 kg, making it suitable for child seats or panniers that are compatible with the Racktime 2.0 system. There’s even dedicated storage for a U-shaped anti-theft device, eliminating the need for a bulky backpack.
The bike comes with a Gates Carbon belt drive, providing a quiet and low-maintenance transmission—perfect for frequent city use. Riders can choose between the Enviolo Trekking transmission or a Shimano Nexus 5-speed hub for additional versatility.
Designed for Comfort in Any Situation
For those rainy autumn days, the Mavaro is equipped with full mudguards and features front and rear lights for enhanced visibility on the road.
The bike’s curved handlebars and suspended seatpost create a comfortable riding position that absorbs vibrations, helping to prevent muscle discomfort during long rides.
Available in two models—the Mavaro 1 with an Enviolo drivetrain and the Mavaro 2 featuring a Nexus hub—and with standard or low-frame options, this bike caters to various styles and sizes. Sizes range from S to XL, including a low-frame version for easier mounting and dismounting, while the high frame appeals to those seeking a sportier look.
Pricing details for the Mavaro have yet to be released by Cannondale.
