I'm 100% satisfied when it's comes to power of the motor. this ebike is a beast.
An absolute winner from a mechanics stand point, coming from many years on the gen 2 and gen 3 Levo. If you are into guns, then you know the Ak-47 reference, it's the bike i will pick over almost any other at the moment.
Negatives:
At first I was super excited to get this bike. All the hype from YouTube vids that this bikes motor is so much better than the competitions which is not true. Any bike with a Bosch motor will beat this bike. First couple of rides I got overheating codes and other codes while my buddies where flying past me on there 85nm Bosch motor bikes. Same thing as everyone else is saying. Apparently I needed to up my cadence between 80-120 which is ridiculously over exerting yourself on a 5km climb.
Why would they put a deore cassette and chain on a full XT setup?? The cassette and chain were fully worn out before 500kms. I’ve since upgraded to XT chain and cassette on my brand new bike. Super frustrating I had to spend another $300 on a 10K bike. When I changed the chain. I had the bike laying on its side with the chain cover off. I stood the bike up and the retainer for the motor gear fell off. Not even attached with one thread. Fell off!! My first Rocky Mountain experience was amazing with the vertex back in the 90’s. Different bikes since then. My second experience isn’t great so far.
Positves:
The slacked out geometry and handling is awesome!
New XT cassette and chain shift really well. Hopefully will last way longer. (Buy a chain checker) otherwise expect to change your chain after 200kms on the deore setup.
Comes with cushcore.
Jumbotron and controls are easy and work great.
The OT battery with the 720wh battery will outlast any other e-bike.
Suspension once…
J buy this bike in Bassano Moretti Italy .in novembre 2023 . J find this probem :
1 too noise
2 to much rates (80_90) to reach maximum Power 108 nm .
3 j think that you have to change this parameter to give everyone the possibility of riding with this e-bike also old people like me 70 yo , j like Mountain but j Need like others ,to do less efforts when driving in hard thail
100% the best E-MTB I've ever ridden. This is my second Powerplay had the previous generation with the Dyname 3 motor the new platform and Dyname 4 motor is magic. Get a leg over one and #lovetheride
