October 29, 2021 - From the outset, our goal was to create an electric mountain bike that felt as natural as possible. Building on the success of our previous Powerplay models, we’ve completely re-designed our new lineup and continue to push the envelope of high performance e-bikes.
With our next generation Dyname 4.0 drive system, we’ve thoughtfully integrated new features with a rider-focused design. Our Powerplay bikes are firmly positioned at the forefront of e-bike innovation.
While developing the first-ever Rocky Mountain eMTB, we refused to be held hostage by existing drive designs. We built the drive to fit the bike, not the other way around. For ten years, our engineers dreamed, created, tested and meticulously improved upon Dyname until they got it right. The Dyname drive is compact, powerful, and smooth.
More power on tap
Virtual quads kick in when you need them and stand down when you don’t. Seamless power modulation between drive and human. Dyname reads your rhythm and responds to your ride.
No whining
The Dyname 4.0 features a reduced motor rpm that lowers the amount of the high frequency gear whine commonly found with other systems.
Ride farther
We’ve increased the capacity of the Powerplay battery to a whopping 720Wh, allowing you to spend more time riding.
We built the drive to fit the bike, not the other way around.
Powerplay frames are not handcuffed to off-the-shelf drives. We put pivots where we want. We maximize our freedom in suspension design. We don’t start with no-fly zones as a result of 3rd party integration. Rocky Mountain’s engineering team enjoys a blank slate which ensures we can imagine, create, and most importantly, ride the bike we want.
NEXT GENERATION DRIVE SYSTEM

I’ve been a believer in our Powerplay bikes from the beginning, and my mind is still racing with all the possibilities they can bring when out on the trail. Our latest version has immense power, massive battery capacity, and has inspired me to ride further and push harder in challenging terrain. I love that the battery is removable and that the Jumbotron top tube displays all the info you’d need and more. Bring on the next generation – and the next ride!”
