In spite of some quirks, Rocky Mountain knocked it out of the park with the Altitude Powerplay.
Apr 2022 · Drew Rohde
From refining the drive unit smoothness and power to the much-needed improvement on the suspension performance and even bringing the geometry to a contemporary place, the Altitude Powerplay C70 is one of the best eMTBs we’ve ridden
Major improvements all around
Powerful motor
Jumbotron integration and bike works even if it breaks
Suspension tune
Cush Core inserts
Let’s you go big!
Feels top-heavy
Low BB and Long Crank Arms

With plenty of travel, battery life and class-leading torque, Rocky Mountain's 2022 Altitude Powerplay eMTB crushes rough trail networks.

RMB's torquey Dyname 4.0 motor and "mid-high pivot" platform separate the Altitude Powerplay from the herd...

The Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay has been updated for 2022 with a new frame, an improved motor, and a trendy mid-high pivot suspension design. Along with its integrated display, this is one seriously feature-packed electric mountain bike. Does it deliver? Read on for our Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay review.
Superb handling is up for anything
Brilliant cornering performance
8-way adjustable geometry
Masses of torque on tap
Brilliantly grippy & durable tyre spec
CushCore inserts as standard
Impressive total range
High pivot design requires longer chain
Controller buttons are too light and vague in use
Seat angle could be steeper
Proprietary motor may be a turnoff for some
On the heavy side
Dec 2021
The 2022 Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay has a new frame geometry. It’s a more burly and stable bike than the previous version. Now I think it’s the agressive, stable hard hitter the Altitude always was intended to be. And that’s not all. There’s a new motor, new battery and a new display. Check out the video for all the details.

Price: $9199.00 | Model Year: 2019 | A premium full suspension electric carbon fiber mountain bike with a lot of high end components, 160mm travel, large 27.5
A premium full suspension electric carbon fiber mountain bike with a lot of high end components, 160mm travel, large 27.5" plus sized grippy tires, dropper seat post, all while remaining lightweight
Dyname 3.0 drivetrain is powerful but compact, features hidden battery integration in the down tube, and a minimalist control system that adds to the purist feel
Durable Shimano Deore XT derailleur with Shadow Plus clutch, precise Shimano Saint hydraulic disc brakes with quad-piston calipers and large 203mm rotor in front and in the rear
Premium price, display is pretty much non-existent, battery takes a while to remove and put back in, because of this you will be charging on the bike only

Because the weight of the motor and battery is located centrally and low down, the bike is fairly stable and confident at speed, despite being a little short by modern standards.
