Overview of components
Fork
The Altitude Powerplay A50 Shimano comes factory-installed with the RockShox ZEB Select fork. This has a travel range of 170mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Rear Shock
From the factory, it comes with the Fox Float X Performance | Sealed rear shock model, which has a travel of 160mm. Bike rear shocks increase the riding comfort, and also give you more control over technical trails. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.
Wheels
When leaving the production line, the Altitude Powerplay A50 Shimano model has 29″ aluminum wheels. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the e-bike itself.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay A50 Shimano is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
Sizes
This e-bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In conclusion, make sure it fits you, or look for another model.
Dropper post
Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay A50 Shimano comes with a dropper post. Needless to say, a dropper post will come in handy on climbs and descends. You’ll fall in love with it at first sight!
