The Ultimate Hunting Ebike. The Creation of the Switchback MTM

Troy Pottenger: A Mountain Whitetail Bowhunter

For Troy Pottenger, whitetail hunting isn’t a hobby—it’s a relentless pursuit dictated by steep ridges, unforgiving terrain, and the ghost-like public land bucks that call the mountains home. Known to the hunting community and social media Instagram following as @mtn_man33, Troy has carved out a legendary reputation as one of the most disciplined, gritty, and successful mountain whitetail bowhunters in the game.
Troy doesn’t hunt manicured food plots or sitting comfortably in a manicured box blind. His arena is the backcountry. It’s a world where success requires elite Woodsmanship, absolute stealth, and gear that can survive the brutal demands of the mountains.

The Inspiration Behind the Switchback MTM (Mountain Man Model)
When Faceoff Ebikes set out to design the ultimate backcountry hunting machine, we knew we couldn't just build a standard ebike and slap a camo paint job on it. We needed a machine forged in the same dirt, sweat, and grit as the hunters who use it. That’s why we partnered with Troy. The Switchback MTM (Mountain Man Model) is engineered for and after Troy’s exact style of tough, rugged mountain bowhunting. Named after his iconic personal brand, the MTM is built to go exactly where the pavement ends and the real hunt begins. Troy tested, abused, and helped refine this model to ensure it meets the grueling standards of a true mountain man.

"If you want to consistently tag mature mountain whitetails, you have to outwork everyone else, get deeper into the timber, and leave zero trace. The MTM gives me the stealth of a predator and the rugged power to tackle the steepest ridges without breaking a sweat or busting a deer" Troy Pottenger, @mtn_man33

Built for The Grind: Why the MTM is a Game-Changer
Troy’s hunting style demands three things from his gear: stealth, durability, and raw power.
The MTM delivers on all fronts:

• Ghostly Stealth: Whitetails have legendary senses. The MTM’s ultra-quiet mid-drive
  motor allows you to slip past bedding areas and slip into your stand before dawn without alerting the woods.
• Mountain-Crushing Power: Designed to conquer the same vertical ascents Troy tackles daily, the MTM features high-torque climbing power and a heavy-duty suspension
  system to handle rocky trails and deadfall.
• Rugged Dependability: Built with a reinforced 6061 aluminum frame, heavy-duty racks for hauling heavy quarters, and puncture-resistant fat tires, this bike is built to take a beating and ask for more.

Hunt Like a Legend
You don't get to the top of the mountain by cutting corners. Whether you are packing into deep wilderness chunks, slipping into a hidden funnel, or hauling out the buck of a lifetime, the Faceoff MTM is your ultimate backcountry partner. Gear up with the bike built for the mountain man. Ride the Faceoff MTM and experience whitetail hunting the way Troy Pottenger lives it.
