I have to completely disagree with you when it comes to the brakes. You have gen 1 or Gen 2? Brembo brakes on mine stop that thing on a dime no problem with an easy one finger pull. You need to rebleed yours if you have the brembos, And if you do and you have re-bled them and you're still not...

Yes, I had a 2018 Alta MXR for 3 years, put 230 hours on it, around 2500 miles. Always charged it to 100% and ran it down to totally dead every ride. Towards the end I definitely saw a drop off in range. I will say though, I feel like mine got less range than others did from the get-go from...

I didn't use any backing plates and mine have been totally fine. Skateboard wheels.

Yes I used both the nine and the 10 mm and as described the 10 mm does not have the immediate lockup power that the 9 mm has hence why I stuck with the 9 mm.

So I took it out for a couple more rides and I think I was a little premature with my thinking... No, it's still not as light in the front as the Alta, but it's definitely getting better. I think the suspension had to break in a little bit.... Either that or I'm just getting used to the...

Interesting hack. So does it make a big difference?

I'm not really taking so much about skimming, but just lifting it up in general. Even jumping logs is harder. My other bikes just pop right over logs and land flat, but the Stark always lands front wheel first, which causes you to get kick from the rear.

So I took this thing for another rip today, and let a few other pretty fast guys ride it as well, and we all came to the same conclusion... While the bike is fast and planted, It's just TOO planted. The front end feels like an anvil, it's heavy and it just does not consistently lift up. You...

How is that the bikes fault? That's clearly rider error.

Happened to me the other day, lean over to grab my helmet off the ground, my other sleeve must have caught the throttle and that thing just blasted out from under me like a rocket. Thank GOD I was in the sand, haha

Yeah, thing is I'm a heavy throttle user, riding at practically race pace in the sand all the time, so riding it in 60hp mode for me will definitely kill the battery faster than in 40hp mode. I generally start at close to 100% and am down to 20% in 30 minutes.

Well that's just dumb, because the Alta can do it in any map. I don't want to always have to ride it around in 60hp mode wasting battery if I don't have to.

I got the same one. It's AWESOME and SO MUCH LIGHTER. I threw the Stark stand and case in the trash, lol

This is my biggest complaint about the Stark. Im 175 pounds without gear, medium suspension, and It's VERY HARD to loft the front end. I love wheeling through whoop sections, or lofting through puddles and obstacels etc... but I have to yank really hard to get it up at all. My Alta on the...

The brembo 10mm master cylinder SUCKS compared to the 9mm. The 10mm doesn't have the stopping power and instant lockup that the 9mm has. I'm taking the 10mm off my brand new Stark and putting a 9mm Brembo master on there with a new hydraulic line made by Spiegler.
