release by Rocky Mountain Bicycles

July 17, 2024 - Meet the new Reaper Powerplay. For future Slayers, we’ve designed the all-new Reaper Powerplay. The first of its kind. A trail-ready electric mountain bike, powered by the all new Dyname S4 Mini to help kids progress while keeping up with their parents.

Experience the first mid-motor, full-suspension kid’s eMTB. The new Dyname S4 Mini powertrain offers 40Nm of torque and 300W peak power.

Seamless Dyname Mini integration including parental controls. Kid Mode allows parents to limit both top speed (for motor assist) and power. It’s easy to navigate and set up for added piece of mind.

Designed for: Trail
Front Travel: 120/140mm
Rear Travel: 130mm
Wheel Size: 24 & 26″

Signature adjustability
Fine-tuning your ride isn’t just for adult-sized riders. Young riders will also be able to make a selection of adjustments including the ability to convert the 24’’model into a 26’’.

RIDE-2™ adjustment system
The RIDE-2 adjustment system ensures easy compatibility with both 24” and 26” wheels. This means your kid can continue to use the same frame for longer as they grow.

Dyname™ S4 Mini
A drive that responds immediately when you start. Intuitive everything. A seamless feel, purpose-built for little shredders.

Two-position axle for wheel size adjustability
The two-position axle guarantees a balanced geometry and ride feel while swapping wheel size.

Smoothlink™ suspension
Smoothlink suspension is efficient yet supple when you’re on the pedals and across a wide range of gears. It features a controlled end-stroke and a rate-curve that feels more capable than the travel would suggest.
