The 2025 Rocky Mountain Instinct Powerplay SL is a lightweight, powerful trail bike equipped with the new Dyname S4 Lite drive system, which offers an impressive 550W peak power and 65 Nm of torque. Despite its power, the bike weighs only 43 lbs, allowing for enhanced agility and playfulness on the trail. Its 150 mm front and 145 mm rear travel make it capable of handling technical terrain, while the bike's MX compatibility and adjustable geometry system (RIDE-4™) provide customization to suit a wide range of rider preferences. The 480 Wh battery ensures a range comparable to full-power e-MTBs, making it ideal for long, adventurous rides.

In addition to its performance, the Instinct Powerplay SL offers a well-rounded feature set designed for both comfort and precision. It boasts a mid-high pivot Smoothlink suspension system for a smooth ride, even on rough trails, and the inclusion of the Jumbotron display allows for easy, on-the-go power adjustments. With options for various wheel sizes based on frame size (27.5” for XS, 29” for SM-XL), the bike ensures an optimal ride for every user.

All specifications in millimetres and degrees

The sizing chart is a great place to start when picking your next bike but everyone will fit a bike a bit differently. Your torso, arm, and leg lengths all play into what size of bike you may need. Plus, there's your own personal preference.

We always recommend swinging by the shop and taking the bike that you're looking for a spin to see how it feels. If you're unable to come by, looking at the geometry of your current bike and comparing it is a good place to start. If you have any further questions, our customer service team is there to help.
