Rocky Mountain Instinct Powerplay SL Carbon 50 29" E-Bike
[The photos are illustrative and may not show the actual configuration of this bike model. You can find the exact specifications in the description below.]
Lighter weight, more power! Experience the playfulness of a trail bike with the power of a top-of-the-line e-bike. The new lightweight Instinct Powerplay SL is agile, fun, perfectly balanced, and ready to take you further.
At its heart is the lightweight Dyname S4 Lite drive, which weighs 30% less than the Dyname 4.0. With 700 W of power and 75 Nm of torque, it is the best in its class and is complemented by a quiet, sleek, and fully removable 480 Wh battery.
Years of development and experience have resulted in precise suspension kinematics and geometry that you can further fine-tune to your preferences using the unique RIDE-4™ system. All you need is a single Allen key to choose one of four configurations. Variability is also offered by the adjustable headset, which adjusts the reach by approximately 5 mm from its neutral setting.
Smoothlink™ suspension is efficient when pedaling, yet retains its compliance and comfort. Because Rocky Mountain has thoroughly tuned each of the many suspension parameters, their bikes provide a truly unique riding experience.
