- I get to review the Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay carbon 90 Rally Edition. This is an E- mountain bike with 108 Nm of torque from a Dyname 4.0 motor. This is a very high spec E bike at an equally high price.
Join me to see what I think of this special bike.

Hi Lance - great review just want to correct a few things. This is a 2022 Rocky Mountain Carbon 90 Power Play - Rally edition. The recommended retail in NZ was $18,999 and the 330 Overtime battery is $1399. We expect increases in price next year due to exchange rate. I'm not sure if the owner showed you how to customise the power delivery. To get the full effect of the motor you have the option of Boost +2 you would feel this on really steep climbs. As you discussed the suspension had been set for owner who is 72kg. We changed out the shock spring from 450lb down to 400lb. I'm sure that had a negative effect on your ground clearance and increased pedal strike. We are Suspension Tech International Ltd - the Rotorua dealers for Rockymountain in Rotorua. We customise the suspension on all the bikes we deliver at no extra charge. Cheers Norm
Thanks Norm. Am hoping to do a factually correct video eventually. I rode it as the owner had it set up. Might do another video with it in the future. It is a seriously cool bike. Would be great to have longer to review and set them up, but it is what it is. I hope people understand that.
@@bestdayevermtb2 I thought the video was great. The riding clips were also very well done. I have seen professionals that don't come close to your review. Just really wanted to get the price correct - all these bikes are too expensive but not much we can do about that. And as far as set up I think you explained it was set for a 72kg rider. Just the one downside of coil suspension - its not so easy to adjust for rider weight changes. I was surprised it worked as good as it did given the shock spring was way too soft for you. I thought the test was a fair reflection of the bike. Almost makes me want to come and ride Woodhill again. Almost! we have it too good down here in Rotorua. May be we can get you to test "our shock" one day?
@@NormanCobb That would be very cool. Never tried one but I know Nathan Tucker loved his one.
Went from yeah boy to nah boy on that price, Jesus!
That is so sick !!!
Hey Lance another great entertaining video, cant wait to see you and dad's army back out at the redwoods. Have a good rest of your weekend.
Had an awesome day in Redwoods today. Looking forward to another tomorrow.
Another great video Lance! Thanks for the content 😁 not sure about the color but wicked speced bike 👍
Thanks Grant. Certainly very nice spec.
To get full power you have to set your torque to +2 on a custom setup. There are 2 extra settings that you can program. I have this bike in the shorter travel Instinct and love it.
Yes I am sure if I had the bike longer I would be able to play around with the power settings. These videos are literally filmed over 2 days.
G’Day from Salem, Oregon!🏔 Always enjoy your videos. Glad you recovered quickly from Covid.💪 You’re like the MTB-Crocodile Dundee of RUclips! Bring your mates & come have a ride-a-bout with us in the PNW sometime!(Jul-Sep). In the meantime, keep up the great reviews.👍😉
I am very keen to do a riding trip in that area. My brother-in-law lives in Portland so combine a trip to see him. I do plan to travel again and hope to meet up with viewers of the channel for rides. What is it like riding E bikes in Oregon? I hear so much negative feedback from the States it puts me off going.
Such a great bike, but I am biased also, I have not tried this new model yet. Be interesting to see how my 27.5 feels in comparison to the 29er.
I believe you can still use the Mahle app for this model, along with the jumbotron as well 👍🏻
I run a 2.4 on my rear, found it helps with battery range on longer rides, whilst keeping good enough grip. All about still putting in the effort to get the ludicrous power. You hit the nail on the head, helps keep that natural feeling, but have to adapt to it, does really help on steep hill starts as you don't spin out as such with the full power straight away, you can moderate it better 👍🏻
Great video fella, enjoyed that 👍🏻
Glad you liked the video. It is a very cool bike
Awesome review Lance, bike definitely looks the part alright. Was cool catching up with you the other day at Crankworx. Hopefully see you guys up at the redwoods if your still here. 👍👍
Great catching up. Been riding skyline today. Finally got that mr black jump done.
@@bestdayevermtb2 look forward to that video my friend. Wish the weather was a lot better this time around. My e-bike is getting a bit of a service at the mo, hoping to have it back by the weekend 🤞. Keep up the great vids and thanks again for the chat with me and the wife 👍
Liked the vid Lance, but I do think you're an insane old man....don't know where we go from here! 🤣🤣 I'd love a bash at that jump line but alas, too far! Keep em coming mate.
So I purchased a Rockey mountain powerplay Altitude A30 coil and I must say it puts out power much different than my Shamono E8000. You cannot be a passage on the Rockey Mountain. It makes you work for the power. It's in a good way though. I have only been on one 7 mile ride but so far it been great. Definitely more of a workout and I need that!
I am sure you will love it. I would think the RM would be way more powerful than an E8000. I guess it depends on what setting you ride in.
@@bestdayevermtb2
I had to ride it mostly in Ludicrous mode to keep up with my girlfriend on a Marin Alpine E1 with an E7000 motor in it. She stays in trail mode 90% of the time. I made a custom profile and added +2 boost so the next ride should be interesting...
Well back to report a custom profile with the plus 2 boost really brings this motor alive!! The factory settings do it no justice. 30% ecc, 50% trail 1 and 73% trail 2 with +2 boost and its a monster!!
@@cabbynate Did you see I did a video comparing the Dyname, Bosch and Shimano motors. Maybe worth checking out.
@@bestdayevermtb2
Yes I did Lance! It was a great video. It gave me the idea to turn up the Rocky Mountain motor. 👍🏽
Always love your honest reviews Lance. Maybe people could invite you to visit them for a new series called “Rate my ride”
BOOST settings have ZERO effect on the DH. Top . Best e -bike bike on the market. All Rocky models .
Hey there, where can I buy a Dads Army Head Tube Cap or is that only for the official riders?
You can buy them. Check next video on where to get them
@@bestdayevermtb2 Yep - I want one as well. The head tube cap will make the bike fly even better ;-)
Kia Ora Bro. Just bort this "Beast" from Ivanhoes Cycles -Hallam Melbourne. $18,000. My first ebike Ever. Wow wat a Machine! Its Cool watching You handle this like an expert! An Awesome track too. Only back home aye. Anyway just a Quick hello, look forward to watching more of You. Chur Bro.
Calling me an expert. I like you already. I get called a lot less flattering things.😂
$18k for that spec is taking the piss. XT is awesome but surely at that price you should be getting XTR and some more adjustability in the rear shock.
I am not going to disagree with you. There are a few bike manufacturers who charge a premium for their bikes. I guess you either love the brand and the bike or you go for something like a Trek Rail that gives more toys for your buck.
@@bestdayevermtb2 Yeah, Rocky Mountain has always been expensive here to be fair. Definitely a nice looking rig though
Hey Lance, what was that first trail you rode?
I am pretty sure it was set in stone into booty call.
Na that top spec model is 19k plus the range extender, still frickin outrageous though. I have the bottom spec alloy altitude A30 for 11k, still pricey though. As for the noisy motor, I reckon it’s the extra pulley’s. the key is keep them clean and all is quiet, especially that motor. I belong to a FB RM Powerplay group and see some of those guys have removed the bottom tensioner, with no chain drops. I removed my this morning and will be out Woodhill Sunday morning to see how if it’s quieter. Agree about 108nm not walking the talk, I believe it comes into its own on very steep climbs. There is a “Boost” adjustment in the custom settings, so on + 2 is should respond a lot quicker. See you out on the trail 😊
Thanks for that. Couldn't find a price. I went off what the owner told me. Very cool bike though.
Hi Lance, which would you prefer? The specialized turbo levo or the Rocky Mountain?
Just my personal choice but I prefer the Levo. I think I like the feel of the Brose motor over the Dyname. Again just a personal choice.
Hi Lance. Where were you riding?
Love it great bike,but, I would like a removable battery
It is removable
hi Lance, i rode one of these, i thought it handled very well, but i thought the power delivery felt very lethargic compared to my Bosh...
These motors are not soft pedaling like other motors and require more input from the rider. They come alive with a higher cadence between 80 to 120 rpm. Something that took me a while to get used to after my Giant ETrance
@@gavinpalmer4589 yes you are correct, but i far prefer the power delivery of the Bosh
I am hoping to make a video comparing the power of this motor vs the Bosch. May even try the Shimano and Yamaha at same time.
@@bestdayevermtb2 great idea Lance..
Which bike do you prefer for downhill the ktm or this?
Personally, I prefer the KTM
@@bestdayevermtb2 Thanks! Its a heavy bike but if you search a little, mounts the largest ebike's shock of the market.
I have recently discover your channel, and is one of the best 👍👍
@chastis thanks for that. Glad you like it.
Rocky are weird, Their base spec level normal bikes are nearly double other brands.(using altitude for example)
but weird thing is their bikes ride absolutely fantastic, IMO of course but considering i've owned approx 20 different bikes since feb 2020 i Can atleast say ive had some experience including on a Steam Rocky altitude.
The owner of this bike absolutely loves it and thinks it is so much better than his old Bosch bike.
@@bestdayevermtb2 no doubt, The rocky bikes are always good, The drive system they use is really good and actually makes sense.
sorry boys, i love MTB and woodhill but $ 26000 is mad
How much?
I might be wrong on the price but that is nothing new. Either way a lot of money.
Why is your camera so fuzzy>...
One of the POV images I think the lens is slightly dirty otherwise they should be clear. If watching on a computer check the download settings. All my new videos are now 4K so hopefully image quality should be better.
19 + K 🤣 Come on. That's utterly bonkers.
The most expensive car I ever bought was $2,800 NZD 🙄
but why? Cool if you can get everywhere on a bike though?
@@MrSupermugen I haven't owned a car for 20 years now, pretty good going really.
@@ToddNZMTB crazy, not sure what id tow the boat & ski with if i didnt own a car/truck.
@@MrSupermugen it can be a pain but we rent a car from time to time. I was renting a really cheap car for $20 a day to go mountain biking a couple of years ago ha!
Was it Dans bike?
Should’ve watch the whole vid before commenting 🙄🤣
Why is the camera quality so bad?
Sorry it doesn't look good for you. Not sure what the issue is.
so forget price tag, as an all up package I reckon I would rather your KTM prowler over this every single day of the week, so the price difference just doesnt make sense. some poor sheep got fleeced.
I still like my KTM. Having lots of fun with it at crankworx.
try to ride the ktm on a mtb trail ^^
do you really need 108Nm???
Need vs want. Some bikes have only 35Nm and work just fine. Personally I like plenty of power on tap. You don't have to use it all the time but great to have for those serious hill challenges.
@@bestdayevermtb2 but when will you really need 108Nm? Would 60-85Nm not be enough? Plenty of power means less distance on one charge
@@VovanCBR As for distance on one charge. If that is a concern, then simply run at a lower setting. I saw a video; I think by the loam wolf who had the 60Nm Orbea and the Rocky mountain. He got up several rock faces on the RM but simply couldn't get up on the Orbea Rise. Everyone wants something different from their E bike. Nobody is right or wrong, just different.
@@bestdayevermtb2 in this case we need to change legislation and de-restrict power and speed limitation
Ugly bike , thanks for the review
NO THANK YOU 👎…That price is LUDICROUS …Bonkers 👎👎👎🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🤭
