Rocky Mountain has launched the Altitude Powerplay 3, calling it their “most advanced e-mountain bike yet,” building on a legacy of podium finishes at the Enduro World Series and Rampage.
Designed with the philosophy that fun is the ultimate measure of performance, Rocky Mountain says the PP3 delivers a ride experience that turns effort into acceleration and days into endless laps. It features the proven LC2R™ (Low Centre Counter Rotating) suspension design for maximum traction, comfort, and a supportive yet responsive ride on challenging terrain. The system offers improved pedalling efficiency, a low centre of gravity, and a stiffer rear triangle for stability.
Available in both SMOOTHWALL™ Carbon and FORM™ Alloy frames, engineered for optimal stiffness, weight, and durability. The bike features 170mm front and 160mm rear travel, with wheel sizes tailored by frame size (SM: 27.5″, MD–XL: 29″/MX). The bike is offered in two main colourways: “Highway to Hell -Red Red Wine” and “Still of the Night -Ziggy Stardust”.
Equipped with the all-new Dyname™ S4 Pro drive system, offering up to 1000W peak power (region-dependent), 108 Nm torque, and a 720 Wh removable battery. According to the brand, the system is lighter, quieter, and more efficient, with improved cooling and battery fixation. According to Rocky Mountain, the motor weighs 3200 g and features a new Ratchet Spider system, replacing the previous Dyname 4.0’s Sprag Clutch, offering improved cooling via an alloy transfer chain cover heatsink.

At the heart of the new Powerplay lineup is the new Dyname S4 Pro drive system, which comes with a series of improvements and refinements from its previous generation:

Riders can personalise power delivery with adjustable “Boost” and assistance power levels, optimising for either maximum support or extended battery range. Thanks to the RIDE-4™ Adjustment System, riders can quickly adjust geometry with a single allen key, offering four configurations for personalised handling. The bike has a new, seamlessly integrated top-tube display (the Jumbotron) that provides real-time ride data, battery life, and system customisation, all controlled via a compact handlebar remote.
Compatible with the Overtimepack range extender, adding 314 Wh of battery capacity for even longer rides.
Bikes will begin shipping to dealers shortly via Adaptive DCS in the UK and Ireland.
