A trail bike feel with the power to explore further than ever before. With adjustable geometry, refined suspension kinematics, and MX compatibility, the Instinct Powerplay SL delivers unreal levels of fun, lap after lap… after lap.
Join freeride athlete Alex Volokhov and Rocky Mountain R&D Mechanical Engineer Maxime Gelinas as they delve into the bike’s lightweight design, our new Dyname S4 Lite drive system, and why it’s the ideal choice for trail riding and any adventure.
Dyname S4 Lite drive system
This new system offers class-leading torque (65 Nm) and peak power (550W) in a lightweight package. Less heavy shouldn't mean less power or range, and that's exactly what the new Dyname S4 Lite system offers with it's drive and new 480 Wh removable integrated battery.
Lightweight and performant
The Instinct Powerplay SL is pounds lighter in weight than full-power e-MTBs. Paired with our mid-high pivot Smoothlink suspension design, riders can expect increased mid-stroke support and small bump compliance, resulting in a lively ride feel.
OvertimePack 2.0 compatible
Get an additional 314 Wh of battery capacity that easily mounts to the downtube for extended range and good times.

Ride-4 adjustment system

MX (mullet) compatible

UDH / Transmission Ready
You asked, we listened. All models are compatible with UDH and SRAM Eagle Transmission.
Proportional rear center
The 10 mm* difference in chainstay length between frame sizes makes the Instinct Powerplay SL’s handling characteristics feel balanced and stable.
