Instinct Powerplay
Instinct Powerplay
The all-rounder. Whether it’s a daunting climb or a technical descent that’s normally just out of reach, the new Instinct Powerplay welcomes anything you can throw at it with open arms.
The Instinct is our most versatile trail bike, and the Instinct Powerplay carries on that tradition while amplifying your rides through the addition of a motor. The all-new Dyname 4.0 produces 108Nm of torque to propel you up challenging terrain, while the huge 720Wh battery gives you enough juice to get to the top, ride down, and go back up again. This bike is packed with features like a new ergonomic remote, our integrated Jumbotron top tube display, RIDE-4, and more.
