Ride 9 offers you 9 positions to fine tune your geometry with a pair of allen keys to make it easy.
The Dyname 3.0 has been designed to provide a sleek and powerful motor.
New Shimano XT groupset giving you 12 speeds to use as well as a big 51 tooth sprocket to get up even the steepest hills.
29" Wheels allows you to roll over the toughest terrain and give you confidence.
The Instinct Powerplay will take you to the places you never thought possible. When it comes time to head out the door for that all-day ride into the alpine, you’ll be riding further and faster than ever before on Rocky Mountain's most versatile e-MTB yet.
Taking the Powerplay™ line up the next level, the Instinct Powerplay integrates Rocky Mountian's powerful Dyname 3.0 drive system on a 29” wheeled platform for fast-rolling rides and long distances. Featuring the iWoc TRIO remote, RIDE-9 adjustment system, tweaked suspension kinematics, and great small-bump sensitivity, the Instinct Powerplay™ is perfect for the big epic rides!
Mid-drive slider
Your Powerplay bike uses a mid-drive slider to control the force of the chain and direct it to the drive pinion. This is a sacrificial wear item and should be cleaned, inspected, and replaced as necessary. Keep the chain clean and lubricated to prolong the life of the slider. English French German
Dyname™ 3.0 drive
Designed in Canada, in collaboration with Propulsion Powercycle, the Dyname™ 3.0 drive system is a sleek, lightweight, and powerful electric assist that pushes the boundaries of electric bikes. Its compact, low-mounted motor allows us to design electric mountain bikes to Rocky Mountain's suspension and handling standards—with proper geometry and ideal pivot placement. The system provides ss-leading torque, instant power response, and super-fast charging.
Size Specific tune
Size Specific Tune ensures that riders of all sizes get the right balance of small-bump compliance, mid-stroke support, and end-stroke progressiveness. Rocky Mountain's design team does custom shock tunes based on real world field testing, and adjusts each tune for specific frame sizes.
FORM™ alloy
FORM™ tubesets utilise premium materials to meet Rocky Mountain's strict requirements. Each FORM™ tube that we create is engineered for its specific purpose within the frame, ensuring optimised strength, weight and ride quality.
RIDE-9 adjustment system
The RIDE-9™ adjustment system allows riders to quickly fine-tune their geometry and suspension with a pair of Allen keys. Nine configurations are possible thanks to two interlocking chips.
Adjust your RIDE-9™ position for geometry before considering suspension effects, or variables like air pressure and shock compression. Make gradual, incremental changes, take notes, and be methodical. Don’t adjust in a hurry before a big ride. Take your time and enjoy the process.
Smoothlink suspension
Smoothlink™ suspension is efficient yet supple when you’re on the pedals and across a wide range of gears. It features a controlled end-stroke and a rate-curve that feels more capable than the travel would suggest. This four-bar suspension design philosophy is centred on ride characteristics; each bike platform we develop balances variables like anti-squat, axle path, chain growth, rate curve, anti-rise, etc. to achieve the legendary Rocky Mountain ride feel.
