The name Rocky Mountain is legendary in the sport of mountain biking. Based in the mountain biking mecca of British Columbia, Rocky Mountain pioneered the 'freeriding' genre and in their 35-year history they have always pushed the boundaries.
They focus on making extraordinary dual suspension mountain bikes that allow riders to test their limits.
Rocky Mountain took the same pioneering approach with their electric bike range. They opted to develop their own electric drive system to enhance the already-exceptional handling of their mtb platforms vs trying to get their eMTB to conform to the geometry of mainstream drive systems. The result is in the ride - incredible handling and performance, backed by a three (3) year drive system warranty and the most powerful (108Nm torque!) and responsive motor available.
See Nick's review of his Instinct Powerplay, the 29er model, where he analyses how they have managed to achieve such incredible performance. A true mountain bikers ebike.
