Select models and sizes available from May 15th. We’ve retained short chainstays to keep the bike agile, and used a moderately steep seattube for efficient climbing performance. The Powerplay is a patented mid-drive system that’s under. This 3rd generation of drive system was designed and developed by Propulsion Powercycle and Rocky Mountain Bicycles in Canada. To add control and descending capability, we’ve increased reach, slackened the headtube angle, and lowered the bottom bracket. Sharing the same geometry and suspension performance as the renowned Altitude, the Altitude Powerplay is an e-MTB meant for aggressive trail riding. Now available in both carbon and alloy models, the Altitude allows for a wide range of RIDE-9 adjustments to tackle any terrainfrom technical BC loam, to clapped. Our Ride-9™ system provides a wide range of geometry and suspension adjustability it has been moved into the link for lighter, narrower packaging. For 2018 Rocky Mountain designed an all-new frame to increase stiffness, improve pedaling efficiency and small-bump sensitivity, and include a host of next-generation features. Higher anti-squat values dramatically improve pedaling efficiency.Ĭomprehensive evolutionary updates across the platform include features like tooled axles, single-sided bearing pivots, integrated “spirit guide” chainguide, boost spacing, and metric shock compatibility. We’ve increased overall progression and support at sag, while making small-bump performance even more sensitive.



*Due to production delays, the initial shipment of 2018 Altitudes will not include downtube protectors.

Improved cable management: large headtube ports, full shift housing, large downtube access port, and internal shift and brake housing within the front triangle.Bearings at all pivots, including at lower shock mount (compatible with aftermarket shocks as well) Other key geometry numbers (on the large size, in the ‘Slack’ setting) include a reach of 452mm, a bottom bracket drop of 13mm, short 426mm chainstays, a 74-degree seat angle and a pretty average.Increased anti-squat for better pedaling efficiency.
