ES 2023 Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay
An e-bike for the most electrifying big-mountain enduro rides
Enduro design and dynamic e-bike power come together in the 2023 Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay. The electric heart of the bike is the Dyname™ 4.0 drive system, which offers fantastic long-lasting torque that will only increase your stoke.
The Carbon 70 build was crowned the "Best Big Mountain EMTB" in the enduro category by The Loam Wolf. Even better, it won the Design & Innovation Award 2022. Time to get out and experience the best rides ever!
Every size of the Altitude Powerplay is tuned separately on real-world Canadian trails by different sized riders to get the right suspension balance for all types of trails. The bike's geometry is also super adaptable. It comes with Rocky Mountain's RIDE-4™ system and a two-position rear axle. The RIDE-4 system lets you adjust the geometry specs with a pair of Allen keys. Dial in your performance based on the terrain, along with your shredding style and abilities.
The Dyname™ 4.0 drive system is an advanced propulsion system that's only available on Rocky Mountain Powerplay bikes. It has up to a 350% max boost with a 700W max power output. Boost levels are customizable and designed for mountain riding speeds specifically to avoid overpowering you at the wrong moment. It includes a specially developed torque sensor to measure chain tension and deliver extra power instantly, right when it's needed.
The electric system is also designed to not get in the way of mountain biking, visually or audibly. It's almost silent due to running at low RPMs. There's no cockpit clutter -- check your battery life and adjust the assistance level from the top tube display. Meanwhile, you can easily switch the settings from the barely noticeable 3-button remote on the handlebars.
