• Reduced size and weight
- The Dyname 4.0 motor is 18.5% lighter
than the previous generation, Dyname 3.0.
- We’ve given our motor a weight
reduction while also increasing reliability.
The Dyname 4.0 motor features oversized
bearings for increased drive durability.
• A quiet drive system
- The Dyname 4.0 features a reduced
motor rpm that lowers the amount of
the electrical whine compared to other
systems.
- We’ve removed the upper chain slider
that was seen on the Dyname 3.0 drive
system to reduce the mechanical noise,
as well as the drag when pedalling.
• A responsive, natural power delivery
- Our system’s torque sensor reads the
tension that is being applied directly to
the chain, and removes unwanted lag
time to give an instantaneous and natural
response when the power is applied.
- We’ve developed a new torque curve
that is designed to gradually apply power
that achieves a maximum power of 770w
at optimal cadence (85rpm). By having
a variable power curve, you’ll have more
control of your bike on the trail including
scenarios like steep, technical hill starts.
• Torque and power
- The Dyname 4.0 drive system packs the
same 108Nm of class-leading torque that
the Dyname
3.0 brought to our previous generation
of bikes.
- Our drive system has 770W of peak
output, meaning that more watts are
delivered when you really need them.
• Jumbotron
- The Jumbotron is our display screen,
seamlessly integrated into the top tube
of our new Powerplay bikes. Positioned
to show all key data and information in
a convenient, easy to see location, the
screens can be navigated through using
the handlebar remote or the buttons on
the Jumbotron itself.
•Battery Size
- We’ve increased the capacity of the
Powerplay battery from 672Wh to 720Wh,
allowing you to spend more time riding.

• Smaller Remote
- We’ve replaced the iWoc that was
featured on our previous generation of
Powerplay’s with a new, smaller remote.
Designed by us, our new remote has
better ergonomics for you as the rider and
is focused on keeping the cockpit clean
and uncluttered. The smaller design also
allows it to be used in combination with
more shifter and brake options.
• Charging
- We have a 4-amp charger and a 2-amp
charger for the all-new Powerplay models,
both of which quickly refuel your battery
to get you back out there, faster. The less
powerful of the two, the 2-amp charger,
will charge the battery from 0-100% in 7
hours and 35 minutes which out paces the
competition.
• Mid-High Pivot Kinematics and Wheelpath
- Our revised suspension design features
a mid-high main pivot location that
seamlessly integrates with our Dyname 4.0
drive. The kinematics have better support
in both leverage rate and anti-squat, this
translates to smoother power delivery
to the ground with less energy loss. The
mid-high main pivot also creates a more
rearward wheel trajectory which all but
eliminates small to medium trail chatter.
• RIDE-4 adjustment system
- The RIDE-4 adjustment system allows

and suspension with a single Allen key.

two small chips.
• Adjustable Chainstay Length
- The chainstay length is adjustable by
PPDFKLHYH E\ ưLSSLQJ WKH D[OH FKLSV
and 200mm direct mount brake adapter.
The short position encourages a playful
and agile setting while the longer position
favours high speed stability. The Rocky
Mountain hanger is UDH compatible in the
long position as well.
• Secure and Internal Routing - There are
internal cable trays with secure tie downs
to ensure a rattle free ride while making it
easy to run cables and housing, even if you
prefer a Moto-Style setup with the front
brake on the right hand side.

kinematic updates.

all riding accessories). Air pressure or coil spring rate and preload is adjusted until the
desired amount of sag is measured.
Please observe the minimum and maximum amount of preload recommended by the

you must remove the eyelet bearings to remove the coil spring.

Rebound damping adjustment controls how quickly your suspension returns to full extension after it
hits a bump. Too much rebound damping, which means clicking the rebound knob towards the slow
setting, the fork or shock will move too slowly. This will cause the suspension to sink deeper and
deeper into its travel under repeated hits, which will feel harsh. Too little rebound damping, which
means clicking the rebound knob towards the fast setting, and the suspension can spring back too
quickly, causing a loss of traction and control. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for base

Low speed compression (LSC) controls rider weight shifts, pumping through terrain, G-outs, and
other slow inputs. Too much LSC will result in a harsher ride feel; too little LSC will result in a ride

Shock Eyelet Bearing
If you have your shock serviced, we highly
recommend removing these components, as
suspension service centres cannot guarantee
they will be returned. To remove the system,
follow these steps:
• Use the Rocky Mountain Bearing Eyelet
Tool Kit (Part# 1810031)
• Install the top hat piece on one side of the
bearing eyelet
• Next, install one of the cup removal tools
over the bearing cup with the top hat piece
installed.
• Thread the M8 screw snuggly against the
top hat piece
• Install the other cup removal tool over the
other bearing cup
• Thread the M8 screw all the way in until
it starts pushing on the other side. It is
contacting the inside of the top hat piece.
• Keep threading until one of the cups is full
pushed out.
• Next insert the drift tool through the shock
H\HOHW DQG UHVW LW ƮUPO\ DJDLQVW WKH EHDULQJ
cup that is still pressed in the shock eyelet.
•*HQWO\EXW ƮUPO\KDPPHU WKH GULIW WRRO
until the bearing cup is fully removed from
the shock eyelet.
If you do not have the Rocky Mountain
Bearing Eyelet Tool Kit, use a blind bearing
puller:
• Use a blind bearing puller (8 mm
extension) to remove both bearings.
• Remove the centre sleeve.
• Use the blind bearing puller (10 mm
extension) to remove the empty cups.
NOTE: the inner diameter of the cups is 11
mm, which means the 12 mm extension

extension.
To install new cups, use a bearing press or
vice with soft jaws installed, making sure
to press on the outer edge of the cups,
and don’t forget the centre spacer sleeve
between the cups.

chips. Geometry setup is a complex art form with huge variables in rider style, preference,
terrain and ability. We do recommend the use of professional services, but we also believe
that learning to dial in your own bike is the best way to fully understand its performance.
When adjusting your RIDE-4 position, make gradual, incremental changes, take notes
and be methodical. Don’t adjust in a hurry before a big ride. Take your time and enjoy the
process.
