I do a fair bit of moto and like that my Alta doesn't have a clutch. I have a jump on my track that is directly out of a tight turn and there is a muddy/slick section at the end of the turn too so it's pretty tricky. It essentially gives you like 5 feet of run in to actually get drive for the...
I picked up a 150 a few weeks back and have been putting some time on it. After a 30 minute moto on my track I switched back to the Alta and while it corners amazing it does feel like a boat in comparison lol. I love it still obviously but I definitely noticed the weight comming straight off a...
I think it's a combination of factors but one big one is likely terrain differences. No sand here helps a lot. I use to get range closer to what you have described though not quite as bad. I just have adapted my riding style to focus on maintaining traction and trying to ride smoother vs any...
Adapting riding styles to cater to the range of my Alta has made me a better and faster rider. Limiting wheel spin is a huge saver on energy and directly helps increase range. I have focused on riding smoother and with more flow particularly in single track and hairscambles. While I had to...
I had Steve Matthewson do my wp suspension. He did a full race tech gold valve set up. Suspension is perfect. I rides like a dream. Soaks up chop, stays planted through turns, and can take big hits. He has done several Altas and went to see the Altas that race tech were working on when they...
I think there is no efficient way with current battery tech to compete in hairscamble or gncc races. Again battery swapping is a potential solution but in reality it's not one many people will use particularly at cost. For a gncc you would need 4 to 5 times the capacity of the current batteries...
Battery swapping really isn't a true solution to the issue of range. Average users won't have the extra cash to buy a second battery and serious users with cash will just buy a second bike. Swapping is a sub optimal solution even if it just slid out in 5 seconds. It is only a solution at all now...
AJ says a video is going live at 6pm tonight that he is really hyped for. It will be "Alta on Supercross and motocross track at Club Mx. Just raw clips, some huge jumps, crashes." Be on the lookout it should be a good one🤘
Would this mean we would have to build a program to interpret/display the data we are after that runs on our phone? Is the Alta always outputting this data through the CAN or does there have to be a positive connection with multitool to engage the ACM? Sorry if I am asking dumb questions
Like I mentioned I am not a software guru ha but I was trying to get the multi tool software running on my phone. I bought the proper dongles to go from canbus to usb-C and in order to get multiple on my phone I needed a different operating system that the software can speak with happily. I was...
I tried to get Ubuntu running on my phone a while ago but without rooting the phone I couldn't find another way to make it work and I don't have a spare phone so I didn't want to root it. I am also not a software or electronics guru so. Even with just a cabled option so your phone is always...
It is CAN. I don't remember the pin schematic off the top of my head. I think it is somewhere on this forum. Even if you couldn't use the connector for a power supply you could just have a small battery powering the Bluetooth module. Would be a bit annoying but it's possible. The other thing...
If you can get multiple functioning on a cellphone with a Bluetooth module plugged into the data port you could have real time RPM displayed on the phone via the dashboard as well as a variety of other information.
It's hard to tell what is and isn't hill in this video but I do ride a lot of mud and roots and rocks in general and find the Alta to have the best tractor capabilities of any bike I have ridden. My bike has full race tech gold valve suspension and a tubeliss tire system also. @Philip also has a...
Marketing probably wanted the absolute peak value that is possible from engineering so the lowest power consumption, the smoothest terrain etc. Realistically there are a ton of variables that can change the range but from a consumer average perspective the range likely will not be that much...
It's steep because I don't actually want to sell it haha. That's the value of it to me. Also that does include a lot of extras. I am valuing the bike alone around 11,900 which is still steep but at least more reasonable. That being said I wouldn't split it all up so
I would expect for trail riding very similar range to the Alta, likely a bit better but not drastically. The battery is almost the same size. Thermal limiting will hopefully be reduced so moto should get a range bump for the fast guys.
