Leaving no stone unturned: Rocky Mountain's new e-mountain bikes
108 Newton meters of torque, 700 watts of peak power, 720 watt hours of battery capacity, a motor that is almost 20 percent lighter than its predecessor: Rocky Mountain is not stingy with top values for the new Dyname 4.0 system. As the upper chain guide has been removed, the new motor should also generate significantly less noise and the drive should be even quieter thanks to a reduced motor speed.
Rocky Mountain e-bike riders will be amazed by the Jumbotron: the display is seamlessly integrated into the top tube, the handlebar remote is also new and much slimmer. The rider can influence the e-bike system themselves, with the option of individually adjusting the support and boost levels.Substantial improvement to the battery
The battery capacity on the Powerplay e-bikes increases from 672 to 720 watt hours - and these power packs can be easily removed from the frame. If you want to go on a really big tour, you can pack an additional 314 watt hours onto the down tube via the so-called Overtimepack.
The new system rolls onto the trails with the Altitude Powerplay, which is designed as a 29er E-Enduro with 170 millimetres of suspension travel at the front and 160 millimetres at the rear. The Instinct Powerplay is somewhat tamer with 150 millimetres of travel and 140 millimetres at the rear and thus targets the e-trail bike category; the wheel size here is also 29 inches across all frame sizes.Wade Simmons, Rocky Mountain's freeride legend, says of the new e-mountainbikes: "I've believed in our Powerplay bikes from the start and I still can't believe how many new possibilities they offer on the trail. Our latest version with the revised Dyname 4.0 motor, immense power and huge battery capacity has inspired me to ride further and push harder in difficult terrain. I love the fact that the battery can be removed and that the Jumbotron on the top tube displays all the necessary information and more. On to the next generation - and the next ride!"
