The second coming of Rollerball!

Recently picked up on topspeed.com also, but agree that I don't think there's cause for worry, and I liked Judaslefourbe's business-as-usual chiming in to pack replacement. H-D is in the midst of celebrating their 115th anniversary, so perhaps questions will be surfaced at various press events...

This thread drove me (out of general curiosity) to learn more about Alta's funding history, who's been involved / backing, and how many rounds of funding they've gone through: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/brd-motorcycles#section-overview The more I ponder on this, the more I'm...

Nice writeup from TWMX on Alta and Erzberg (long-form included below): "Gluttons For Punishment" | Alta Motors Takes On Erzberg My observation is that it seems like the MX press is always very supportive of Alta. It may have something to do with AMA locking them out of SX and MX (and...

Hopefully this development comes from a place of the Alta team realizing that moving forward would mean a similar fate of Buell and Brammo (at Polaris). The radio silence is a little unsettling, but am not too worried about Alta's future, but what do I know haha

Ty finished third in the overall EX points standings last year, though opened the season with a 6th place finish, so similar-ish result to this weekend. One thing I wonder about is how he's also gearing up for the ISDE on a 4T KTM, and perhaps the splitting between Alta and ICE bikes hurt him...

I think [hope] the nature of HD's & Alta's relationship is a bit different than Buell & HD

Harley Davidson had a ton of new model announcements today, with am Electric Scrambler concept for 2019 that looks to have Alta pack / drivetrain, and super similar to the Alta Street Scrambler : Of course, still in the "sketch" phase, but will be interesting to see how the Alta...

On this day: Bob Dylan goes electric at the Newport Folk Festival Written by Tyler Jenke on Jul 25, 2018 On [July 25] 1965, Bob Dylan changes the face of folk music entirely by going electric at the Newport Folk Festival in Newport, Rhode Island. Back in March of 1965, Bob Dylan released his...

Lyndon just posted (yesterday) his Erzberg prep: Sucks again that he was robbed (where the heck are those bikes?!!), but there were some interesting tidbits: Adjusting flywheel weight @6:14 Nice close up of front disc cover @7:50 Alta apparently reaching out to EU MXR owners for R packs as a...

QFE :ROFLMAO: But informative program that sets realistic expectations on battery tech and improvements. Thanks for sharing! (y)

Would be so great to see any pro riding the redshift in AMA SX. Wonder if there’s been any progress on that front.

Haha could only imagine the commentating on that, assuming Alta was crushing it:

Edited the post. The first asset on the page is actually a ~10:30 Vimeo-hosted video, which didn't have an easy way to share. Found the URL by poking at the source code and just dropped it in my post.

The main video at the link; wasn’t able to embed in the post (or didn’t know how).

I'm sure most everyone received the email from Alta, but some great details here: Erzbergrodeo Red Bull Hare Scramble 2018 (posted below) ~start Alta content~ First off... why? Why sign up for the most grueling enduro race ever conceived? Why travel half-way around the world to compete with...

All things considered, I'd say Ty and the EXR made it quite far! At times there was tons of wheel-spin, and surprisingly long fire roads. Hindsight always 20/20, but with a better start, I could definitely see him making it to the battery swap as planned, sort of keying off the top guys and...

Before Alta revised how they reported torque, would be a good shirt with "Alta Redshift. 120 foot-pounds from 0 RPM" on the front and doc brown on the back:

Totally. As @snydes said, a few incorrect things and - in general - a super non-critical review, which can be expected from motorcycle.com. Looks like they were the first of the bunch from the EXR press launch to get something out. Definitely helps to get the hype of Alta and the EXR out...
