I had the opportunity this past weekend to try the Alta MXR and totally loved it. Local Ohio dealer AES brought out two of them to a private riding event and a whole bunch of us Vet riders tried them --- every one of us loved them. Some of the guys were fast vets that always qualify for LL, some of us were decent practice riders, and a few novices. We all loved it.
You get on the bike expecting all this weird stuff but then you start riding and realize it's just like riding any other bike, except no clutch, no shifting, no screwing up in the ruts and stalling the bike, and no engine sound.
One cool moment was one of the faster Vet guys caught me while we were both on the Altas and we were just talking back and forth while dicing on the track. It was really fun!
I could see me having one in the next couple years.

The Shop
God damn l feel like l'm being houded at a fucking dealership. How much is Alta paying you guys to fucking spam this shit?
I'm not getting paid anything to post my feelings about the Alta Redshift MXR. I do it because I want people to hear my honest opinions about the bike, as a owner and racer of the bike. Every time i'm at the track with the bike, i have a minimum of 10 people come up to me asking me all kinds of questions.
Whether you like it or not, its a great machine and is competitive against gas bikes. Leave your ego at the door and embrace the new (to our sport) technology.
Seems like we are not allowed to comment anything negative either about these things around here. I was curious, now I wish they would go away.
A few guys have mounted CV's / Traxx or Ohlins on their bikes. Here's one (not mine):
The KTM front end will swap right over. There are 2 guys that i know of who had swapped over X-Trig triple clamps to run their CV's.
1) battery life
2) they are still at the point where tech advancements will happen very quickly
A couple years and 1 will increase, and 2 will slow, and that's when the masses will be moving to them.
Pit Row
With noise having been an issue at the old Salem AX, seems like Alta's would help with that too.
Since others can't follow simple forum etiquette, he get's talked down to for pointing it out? Fck logic right?
I understand the segregation in the past since e-bikes were really custom bikes and not really considered competitive in motocross, until now. Alta is manufacturing competitive electric motocross bikes for a reasonable price (all things considered).
This is the "Moto Related" section of the forum, and the Alta certainly classifies as being a competitive motocross bike.
Were you a freakin' hall monitor at school? Sheeesh!!
Thank you
If you dont, Its not a direct bolt on. The fender will need the bottom holes slightly modified and you'll need to drill and tap two new top holes in the lower triple clamp.
Here's a guy that installed the husky front fender and plate on his Alta:
Not combustion engine moto related
