Fun is the Real Performance

The first sentence in this bike’s manual should really read: Stop Thinking. Start Playing. Its motor doesn’t just deliver enough watts — it cranks out up to 100 smiles per minute, with peak torque measured in spontaneous “Let’s go again.” The suspension doesn’t only absorb brutal hits and rough landings, it shrugs off bad moods and completely wipes out boring days. The battery range? Long enough to forget what time it is. Geometry? Precisely tuned for high-fives at the trailhead. This bike’s performance is measured in stories you’ll tell later. Because fun isn’t a byproduct of performance. It’s the whole damn point.

At a Glance

From podium finishes at Enduro World Series to winning Rampage, the Altitude platform has proven what it’s capable of. Now, we’ve taken everything that defines the Altitude’s ride feel and transferred it into our most advanced e‑MTB yet.

By pairing the legendary LC2R™ suspension and geometry of the Altitude platform with our latest‑generation Dyname™ S4 Pro drive system, we’ve created an e‑bike that amplifies your ride. Still the most natural and intuitive, and powefull system we’ve ever built, Dyname S4 Pro delivers power exactly when you need it, letting you stay completely connected to the trail. A bike that turns effort into acceleration and days into endless laps.

LC2R™ Suspension Design Suspension LC2R™

We took the learnings from the Altitude and applied them to the new Altitude Powerplay. More supportive feel, reduced ramp up at the end stroke. Stiffer rear triangle using dual short links.

LC2R (Low Centre Counter Rotating) delivers ride characteristics that balance kinematic variables to achieve the legendary Rocky Mountain ride feel riders have come to love. The mixture of a tuned blend of anti-squat with a rate curve that is efficient and supportive yet responsive, supple, and quiet provides maximum traction, comfort and performance.

Stable and stiff: The design is laterally stiff, keeping the bike predictable and composed.
Efficiently tackles rough terrain: Its finely tuned rate curve and concentrated suspension mass let it handle bumps effectively, keeping the rear wheel glued to the ground under power.
Low center of gravity: The main pivot located concentric with the bottom bracket, lowers the center of gravity for increased stability, while shorter links enhance rear triangle stiffness.
Improved pedaling efficiency: The system minimizes pedal kickback, while the rate curve is tuned to provide a supportive feel for confident riding.

Dyname S4 Pro Drive System

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

Improved Dyname 4 motor
108 Nm torque
Now 1000 W peak power (750w option depending on region)
3200 g weight
720 Wh battery
New Ratchet Spider system
New charge port design
New 2A & 4A Chargers
Improved rattle free battery fixation
Improved cooling (alloy transfer chain cover heatsink)

Jumbotron Display

The Jumbotron is our display screen, seamlessly integrated into the top tube of our new Powerplay bikes.

It displays key information like your speed, battery life, assistance, or optimal cadence prominently in front of you while maintaining a clutter free cockpit. Positioned to show all key data and information in a convenient, easy to see location, the screens can be navigated using the handlebar remote. The new remote is smaller than the ones seen on the previous generation of Powerplay, it has 3 buttons that allows you to cycle through the screen and options on the Jumbotron.

Personalized power

Tune the power delivery to best suit your needs with two adjustable parameters.

“Boost” level – adjust how the motor responds to the rider input on the pedals. The higher the boost level, the less power is needed when putting power down on the pedals. If you lower the boost, more effort is needed, but will extend the battery range.

Assistance power – this is the amount of available power that the Dyname S4 Pro will put out in the 4 different assist levels.

Frame Features

LC2R™ – Our Low Center Counter Rotating (LC2R) suspension aims to provide maximum traction and comfort in more demanding terrain favoured by aggressive riders. It features a tuned blend of anti-squat and rate curve that is efficient and supportive yet supple and quiet. Our co-rotation suspension design philosophy is centred on ride characteristics that balances kinematic variables to achieve the legendary Rocky Mountain ride feel.
SMOOTHWALL™ Carbon Frame Material – SMOOTHWALL carbon uses one of the world’s most sophisticated carbon processes to deliver industry leading stiffness-to-weight, ride quality, and durability.
FORM™ Alloy Frame Material – FORM tubesets utilize premium materials to meet our strict requirements. Each FORM tube that we create is engineered for its specific purpose within the frame, ensuring optimized strength, weight, and ride quality.
Reach Adjust Headset – Fine tune your ride with neutral 0mm, or +/- 5mm offset headset cups.
Overtime Pack Ready – The Overtimepack is a range extender for our Powerplay lineup that offers an additional 314 Wh of battery capacity.
RIDE4™ Adjustment System – The RIDE-4 adjustment system allows riders to quickly fine-tune their geometry with a single allen key. Four configurations are possible thanks to one rotating chip on each side. Riders should note that RIDE-4 positions are different on this platform than others.
