I'm very much looking forward to your long term review. This is one of the most interesting eMTBs out there now.

The look of that bike is so nice and the motor placement also looks great

I've always been ah....... infatuated with the RM PP lineup since they came out which then became a total nut after riding the Altitude and Altitude PP at a mtb festival years ago and following RM and what they're doing with their whole line up just has me chomping at the bars to figure out a way to get one! I'm a disabled vet on a limited budget but by God I'll get one somehow!!! Legally of course. 😉😉

I just got the 2022 Altitude Alloy 30....now I want a electric Altitude...good review ...👍👍

That thing looks pretty sweet. Truthfully we are all on the lookout for something compriable

Definitely the most interesting bike on the market. A great review. Here in England I’d be interested to know about the mud clearance, a definite issue with my 2020 Turbo Levo Comp size large.

I nearly bought the previous model but reviews were negative on the motor/drivetrain robustnes (maybe the correct term). Would like to know if this suits certain climates more than others - dry and dusty vs full on mud and wet (like Ireland). Concerned all that mud getting trapped around the motor setup. Looking forward to long term review.

Absolutely "ridable" 108 nm, in fact, this bike just want to go forward and grip any incline. Rocky tuned it and made a goat on 29" with 160/170. Absolutely love mine!

When will we see the shootout videos start to come out? I'm very hyped for this bike!

How much motor drag is there when pedalling unassisted above the speed cut out?

Does it still want to lurch when you have your foot resting on the pedal like the old one?

For all those who are considering buying a RM maybe can find helpful my experience. I own a RM Powerplay 2019. A couple of months ago the bike didn't switch on, so I did a couple of checks and remote controler was working and batery look fine. So I went to my LBS and did a couple of more testing and he didn't spot the issue so he contacted the Spainsh dealer. After 7 weeks my LBS contacted me that the issue is not spoted but a new motor will work, the bike was sent to France because customer service in spain doesn't exist and the dealer does nothing to take care of the owners. So, motor replacement need despite they didn't spot the problem in the motor, more than 1k€ and at least 2 month without bike. I can not belive a suposed "premium" bike brand offering that customer service. Other than the money what is pissing me off is that nobody knows what happened with my motor, no clue what was wrong and how to about to avoid tohappen again... The motor had 4200km and max power was set at 80%. Maybe the customer service in other countries is better but at least here in EU(Spain and France) is horrible.

in the gentle words of all knowing genius Jeremy Clarkson: "MORE POWER!!"..

As an owner of a PP question I really want to know, is the chain noise better than on the previous bikes. Currently when I lube up the chain well, the bike runs pretty quiet, but as it gets worn in or washed off by any water on the trails it really starts making a racket. It has been described as a pack of beavers chasing my buddy riding up front.

Would really love to hear a follow up 'longer' term review of riding now a few months, ideally before they start stocking LBS for sale (whenever that will actually be)

You mention decreasing travel with flip chip. Do you know if it’s possible to increase travel or mullet the bike?

Another outstanding review. Well done! Did you notice any drag while pedaling over the 20mph limit?

Hi I’ve just purchased a C 90 altitude the one with coil I do 80% of my riding at rocky peak in Simi Valley, and the rest it’s steep and fast trails. I believe you tested the bike in Simi could you tell me what was the best geometry set up you preferred? So that I can have a good set up starting point ? Thanks 🙏

got one coming on tuesday

What are all the issues?

I really like the new Powerplay line up, but the standover height on these Rocky Mountain bikes is way too high. You'd have to have a 35 inch inseam to give yourself any type of decent clearance on these bikes.

How maneuverable is it compared to the rail or yeti e160? I have a lot of flowy trails where I need the bike to maneuver well vs ability to straight line plow

The drag and coffee grinding noise was awful, and it never felt like it was as good on the straightaways either. I hope they fixed and improve this with the Dyname 4

I pick up my '22 C70 in green today- can't wait for the snow to melt here in Idaho so i can hit the trails

Estimate of how long Rocky Mountain supply chain/production bottlenecks will continue? Giant 2022 Reign E+ and Trance E+ are available now to order and deliver.

Just on your first impression... Trek Rail or Rocky Mountain Altitude?

Not only me dreaming to have that bike for free😂😂

Sigh…. Should have pre ordered green….

I'm 6.4 and need XL. Lol

to a levo at 1/2 the cost.

What you should have done with the motor is to have a flat torque profile and 10 levels of assistance and let the rider control how much support they need. Easy breeze. No need for fancy shmancy torque profiles predicting what the rider wants, And, you make us pedal 85 rmp up hill to get the most out of the motor? That's ludicrous.

I think more nm is just a waste of time. Sure it's fun, but when is it actually useful? Not very often, in reality. I'd much rather have a lower powered bike with lower weight tbh.

With that amount of torque you are going to destroy trails ,literally
