The Instinct Powerplay will take you to the places you never thought possible. When it comes time to head out the door for that all-day ride into the alpine, you’ll be riding further and faster than ever before on what is our most versatile e-MTB yet.
We’ve grown the Instinct Powerplay line-up by introducing three new models that feature a carbon front triangle. Using three different types of carbon we’ve increased strength, stiffness, and impact resistance, all while decreasing the overall weight of the bike. We’ve also grown our battery size to 672Wh, meaning you can ride more, faster, further. The Instinct Powerplay is perfect for long, epic rides!
We developed our own drive system, so we could maintain the geometry, handling, and ride characteristics that our bikes are known for. The other systems on the market today force frame designs to be compromised rather than seamlessly integrated like ours. Our battery is stored within the downtube of our frames and the drive system itself is nicely tucked above the bottom bracket at the base of the seat tube.
Designed in Canada, in collaboration with Propulsion Powercycle, the Dyname 3.0 drive system is a sleek, lightweight, and powerful electric assist that pushes the boundaries of electric bikes. Its compact, low-mounted motor allows us to design electric mountain bikes to our suspension and handling standards—with proper geometry and ideal pivot placement. The system provides class-leading power, instant response, and super-fast charging.
