Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay Carbon 90

Released in Canada in early February, the Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay is the ultimate 27.5" trail bike for those who don’t want to deal with pesky shuttles and lift lines. Designed specifically around the integrated Powerplay drive system, the Altitude Carbon comes in four sizes and three trim levels, topped off by the Carbon 90. It’s a no-compromise trail bike with 150 mm of rear travel from its Fox Float dps Evol shock and 160 mm up front from a Fox 36 Float Evol fit4 fork. The suspension, along with the carbon frame’s geometry, can be quickly fine-tuned through Rocky Mountain’s Ride-9 adjustment system. A Fox Transfer Performance Elite dropper seatpost gives as much as 150 mm of height adjustment. The 48-V Powerplay system offers 250 W of assistance and is powered by a 632-Wh battery that charges to 80 per cent in two hours. The Powerplay Carbon 90 rolls on tubeless-ready Rocky Mountain 30am carbon wheels with meaty 27.5 x 2.5 Maxxis Minion dhf Maxxterra tires. The drivetrain is sram ex1 with a Race Face Next Cinch crankset and sram Guide RE disc brakes. A Rocky Mountain stem, Race Face handlebar and wtb saddle are also part of the impressive build.
