Great review Connor as usual, thank you very much. I had a power play Altitude 70 2020, move to an Heckler MX 2021 and will be back next week to Rocky Mountain power play altitude C90 you just reviewed. You helped me a a lot in that choice and I have to say, even if I love a lot the Heckler the power delivery of the altitude is so natural (and silent) that I prefer this feeling without mentioning the great Rocky geometry. Thank you very much again.

Great explanation on what this bike is about and especially how that motor works. One of the best.

Love your reviews Connor!

Thanks! Can’t wait for the comparison.

Good lord, by next year the motors will have 150Nm of torque! Love the videos Connor keep up the good work!

It's a great bike. Had my A70 for 2 weeks now. Happy to show you around the Sea to Sky corridor of BC if you ever come up here.

I have a powerplay A70 2019 and I'm buying another powerplay 2022. The feel of the trail, the motor tuning, this is a very good climber the torque get you up faster. If you want one go for it.

I wonder how the Instinct would compare to the Heckler? That's one thing that isn't emphasized enough with these Rocky's. How you can buy one frame and tune for days. Between the Ride 4 (or Ride 9 on the alalog versions), the adjustable chain stays, and the replaceable front bracket, you can really dial in whatever you want ahead of whatever your riding will be. Way cheaper than multiple bikes. It really makes having the best motor worth it.

wow! your reviews are always good and informative. Your channel deserves more viewers. Question with sizing, for someone like 5'8 or 5'9 is it advisable to go size medium or large? I know its just easier to go to the shop and throw a leg on it but with the current situation it is next to impossible. Thanks!

Great review! Glad you mentioned the Boost settings. They chang the motor feel 100%. Most reviews on this bike the reviewer never charges this. They feel they have to put in a lot of effort to get the motor going. The boost modes change this. I feel Rockey Mountain should have +1 boost in the factory setting. They would have more riders happy with the bikes right out of the box.

Hi, have you seen the recall for hackler's battery issue? Very interesting review! Cool location ! I am waiting for your comparison! Good luck!

3000+Km on my 2020 400km on my new 2022 carbon since Oct 1. Bike is a beast. I run the fox coil set up with a 2023 Zeb. Singletrack tech climbing. Check flat out logging road hustler. Check double black single track fall line rocket. Check love this thing

Im so exited… max 2 weeks and i will feel the altotude pp… rally Edition incomming 😋

Amazing.

Nice 1, I'm looking online at this bike and the Heckler while I recover from my motorcycle crash. I really like both but the Heckler might be better for me in NZ

What trail is this Connor? Great reviews

Fantastic review! How would you compare it with the Specialized Levo?

Do you have plans to review the RM Element?

I never did see the showdown!! Is it coming??

Is the noise that the chain makes comparable to the noise of the bosch shimano engines? Do you feel vibrations when pedaling with rocky?

Where’s that e bike showdown you been teasing!?

Nice Video ;-) What's the song name ?

Hi what size did you try? I’m 6 feet 2 and I’m right in the middle between large and x large

I had a 2023 Rocky Mtn Altitude 4.0 . It required a lot more rider energy than a Brose, Bosch or Yamaha to get the most out of it. The biggest drawback was the battery charging system overcharged the battery and the battery exploded and burned everything in my garage to ashes. Rocky Mountain seemed to want to help, but in the end they just wanted to get the burned bike out of my possession and pretend it never happened. They hired a bunch of lawyers to threaten me from telling this true event. I feel a duty to warn potential buyers of the very real danger of keeping a Rocky Mountain bike indoors. The damage to my home and property is over 350k, and I am lucky to be alive. Don't take the risk with a Rocky Mountain E-MTB. It is not worth it.

Thanks for the video but to me ebike is foremost about climbing. You only get 108nm torque out of that motor when you pedal 85 rpm. I find this as a major downside. Also, that motor bump which you have experienced with Yamha and Shimano is very helpful when downshifting uphill. This and short chainstay makes this bike not a very good hill climber.

In short this ROCKY ebike is the most motorcycle like bike you can buy .I am SOLD !!! / i was thing about a KTM 300 -500 cc enduro / all i need now is a killer deal on 1 of these.

5:45 what you seem to be describing is that the power is released at high cadence , which is not a plus feature in my opinion. My bosch cx motor delivers the power in turbo but you have to be pedaling pretty fast . my NOX with Sachs rs motor ( 112] nm delivers all of its power at low cadence , 40 to 60 Rpm.that's insanely low and a good thing as it doesn't wear you out going up long steep hills .

Where are you riding please? Great review 👍
