    Agreed. I think that could be a real sweet spot for me. Really thought there would be some sort of bump when I saw the bigger battery come out. I think most of the time the power would be fine but I want the bike to bail me out occasionally. Usually on the first lap after work when Im feeling...

    Cool to get confirmation that you can run the old smaller battery. Might be nice to have two batteries and one of them being smaller would be good for most of my short rides and knocks off about 2 lbs. The chunkiest part of the frame is empty? Looks like they could have implemented bottom...

    YT SL ebike

    Ok nice. Was just referring to whatever this means: It has me worried it might not be easy to drop in a standard replacement if needed.

    Don’t know the details but it’s worth mentioning in regards to the battery talk that YT claims on their website that they are using a “YT Custom Battery”

    Owner report: Rocky Mountain Powerplay A70

    I was referring to the DT Swiss hub having 24 points of engagement with its pawl system. This creates a dead zone between the points of engagement in the hub allowing for 15 degrees of rotation before engaging the pawls and can create a clunky feeling, especially in technical climbing terrain...

    Owner report: Rocky Mountain Powerplay A70

    Still running the stock shock. I find I can tune it satisfactorily so I’m in no rush to upgrade. I pretty much always run it in the medium LSC setting and use either the largest or 2nd to the largest volume spacer. This works well with the more linear, steeper ride nine settings that I use. The...

    Owner report: Rocky Mountain Powerplay A70

    Still loving the Altitude. Did a ~30 mile/45km roundtrip ride to the bike park recently. Rides great on the Slopestyle line!

    Average e-biker age?

    Aged 30. Have ridden mostly BMX for the past 20+ years. On/off MTB for about 10 years. Emtb just this season. Fulfills the fantasy of MTB for me where it is all fun instead of just the 10% where you’re headed downhill.

    Flat shoe recommends please!

    I have the Riddance Mids and am not a fan. They aren’t particularly grippy, certainly nothing like a five ten. They are quite stiff providing limited pedal feel and lastly are a bit heavy. I just bought Five Ten Freerider Pros yesterday and they are a lot better in all regards, though there is...

    Of ALL the new bikes announced, which are on your short list?

    In short: none of them. I agonized over my emtb purchase for months before deciding on the Rocky Mountain Altitude earlier this year. I originally ordered the YT Decoy but later cancelled my purchase. I bought the bike before a lot of the 2020s were released and was a bit apprehensive that...

    Comparison of Rocky Mountain Altitude Carbon 50 and Specialized Turbo Levo Comp

    Interesting. I focused on the reach measurements (among other geo aspects) of the bikes I was looking at and thought the large RM was actually slightly longer than the large Levo. Does that not transfer to the smaller sizes?

    Comparison of Rocky Mountain Altitude Carbon 50 and Specialized Turbo Levo Comp

    Great write up and contribution! I would imagine the differences extend beyond wheel size. The RM has an inch shorter rear end which I would posit is the most significant factor for the difference in handling that you feel. The only true complaint I have with my RM at this point is that I find...

    Owner report: Rocky Mountain Powerplay A70

    Rocky Mountain Altitude Review Hi all, I just thought I should share my impressions after owning a Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay A70 for several weeks now. I know I scoured the internet for all the info I could get on it prior to purchasing so I thought I should contribute for others’...

    I created a purely mechanical Turbo Levo speed limit increase

    I don’t have the bike yet but I would be more than happy to work through this when I do!

    I created a purely mechanical Turbo Levo speed limit increase

    Do you suspect the LSS -2019 DT/TL would fit other DT Swiss hubs and Sram rotors? I would like to try to make one work on a Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay with the DT Swiss 370 hub. - Warren
