Between Two Wheels - Learn more about the all-new Rocky Mountain Instinct Powerplay SL

[@TheLastMoccasin]

As an owner of the previous version Instinct Powerplay, I can confidently say that 165mm cranks and the super low bottom bracket height these have makes pedal strikes the biggest downside this bike has. Great bike, as long as you don't need to pedal up rocky tight terrain... (also shorter cranks are almost impossible to buy).

Canfield and 5DEV crancks are an option

[@TheLastMoccasin]

@@urielgonzalez9916 Hmm, I looked at both their websites and don’t see any cranks specific for the odd Raceface Cinch setup that Rock Mountain Powerplay uses. Can you be a little more specific about what exact model are Cinch compatible?

[@gsportgeorge]

Weight? Geometry? Price?

[@dont_hit_trees]

Agreed. Not much was said. Looks like a winner though.

You can find all that info on our website: bikes.com/instinct-powerplay-sl

Cdn- 7500k-15k Carbon I saw 44lbs 46lbs alloy Wish it had a bit more travel. But the power look great!!!

[@TheLastMoccasin]

Whoa, that is not much lighter than the old version... 51lbs for the old full power 720wh carbon version. Will be interesting to compare to new full power big battery bikes coming out with DJI motors that likely will be about the same weight as this...

[@IamSeafarer]

wtf... this feels completely out of touch with competition? I love rocky's feel on trails and this sounded amazing to me on paper but if it's actually still 45 lbs or so that's completely a turn off for this price point and product placement

[@TheLastMoccasin]

@@IamSeafarer Agreed, I don't think 45 lbs is bad or anything, but if you can get a full power, big battery version for the same price that is the same weight, why do the "SL" compromise. But this was in development way before the latest competition revealed what is coming soon.

165 cranks are to long. How stupid are these guys to not give people 155 option

@@TheLastMoccasin My Heckler SL is enduro'd out and it's 46 lbs with a fazua motor.. The important factor is where the weight is.. if you add 5/10 lbs at the bottom bracket it handles the same unlike the normal full fats where the weight moves up the towards the downtube and makes handling much less nimble.
