Rocky Mountain Instinct Powerplay C70 eMTB 2021

An e-Mountain Bike For Fun All-Day Trail Riding

The Instinct Powerplay is aimed primarily at the trail rider and tourer looking for an eMTB that can cross over to all-mountain and single track. 

Rocky Mountain designed their own drive system, the Dyname 3.0, so they could retain the geometry and great handling characteristics of their non-motorized models rather than having to design a frame around an off-the-shelf drive system. According to the MTB press, they nailed it!

The riding position is pleasantly centre and upright rather than aggressively sporty and it climbs and descends beautifully. Intuitive, agile and nimble and also still feels controlled at high speeds. Plus you have the added bonus of the Rocky Mountain RIDE-9 adjustment system which allows riders to quickly fine tune their geometry and suspension.

The Rocky Mountain Instinct Powerplay Carbon 70 model comes well equipped with tubeless-ready wheels, Shimano XT 12-speed gearing and Shimano XT Trail 4 piston brakes. Fox 36 EMTB Float EVOL FIT4 Performance Elite provides 150mm plush and responsive suspension upfront and is paired with 140mm Fox Float DPS rear shocks. The fast rolling 29er wheels are built on Race Face rims with DT Swiss hubs and Maxxis Minion tires. Combined with the ultra powerful and responsive motor, you can climb anywhere you want.

The Dyname 3.0 Drive System. Ultimate Riding Pleasure.

With a bespoke motor Rocky Mountain are able to design their e-mountain bikes to reflect the ride quality of their highly evolved non-motorized bikes. The Dyname 3.0 drive system is different from other motors in many ways and the ride is sensational. 

First up, there is the torque. 108Nm! The most powerful climbing motor on offer on Australia. The motor offers instant pickup and smooth delivery thanks to its inline torque sensor and climbs like a mountain goat.  It comes with a higher capacity 672Wh battery so you can climb higher and faster than on any other ebike and, but for the sound of the chain feeding through the guides, its quietness and seamless integration make it hard to distinguish as an ebike.

An iWoc Trio handlebar mounted remote controls the motor with just three buttons and all information can be accessed through an app on your phone. Riders can select from three assist levels plus a walk assist mode.

With a three-year warranty (two for the battery) and a design that allows for quick and easy servicing you have peace of mind on reliability and serviceability as well.
