As in the 9V battery was engineered to last 10 years?

Just curious, but what is the purpose of the 9v battery? These bikes seem pretty rock solid, but we all know 9v batteries don’t last forever.

2019 MXR VIN # 497 Miles 346 Hours 27 2019 MXR VIN # 536 Miles 17 Hours 2 Alta is by far the best bike I’ve ever thrown a leg over. I think it’s the most fun, easiest to ride, and best handling dirt bike ever made and I’ve had a lot of dirt bikes. I just sold my 2018 KTM 250 2 stroke and I’m...

That $8,000-$9,000 seems to be the sweet spot right now, but I can honestly say that I’d never sell mine for that price. To me, these bikes are worth much much more. Not to mention that they’re aren’t anymore being made and soon they may start climbing in price.

Does anyone know if the 2019 MXR’s come with the latest software, or do they need to be updated, or does it depend on the VIN? I’m assuming that you have to have the laptop hooked up to the bike to even check but not certain.

It really depends on what they’re worth to you. As far as market value goes, I think the 17 MX could go for around $7,500 and the 18 MXR could go for around $8,500, at least. As time goes on and these bikes become more and more scarce, I’d suspect the price may eventually start to increase.

Awesome!

I think it looks a lot heavier than our Alta’s. I agree that the Alta’s are a little more front end heavy than our conventional bikes, but dropping the forks in the clamps a bit, and adding some air to them helped balance mine out. That Sur Ron just looks like a slow heavy brick with horrible...

I think it’s both. 😂

Did you have the key in the bike?

Welcome to the forum! Beautiful build, do you have any videos or you riding it? Looks super cool!

I run the Briggs and Stratton Q6500 with my quick charger and it’s absolutely flawless. Doesn’t even go past 50% power use when running the quick charger and two large fans. It’s also whisper quiet when the QPT switch is on and you’re not running massive loads. It’s still not as loud as most...

Welcome! I just bought a 2019 MXR about 3 months ago and it’s an amazing bike, you’re going to love it. So amazing that I’m thinking of buying a second one. Do you know if the dealer you’re getting it from has any others left for sale?

Yes they did. I bought a brand new 2019 MXR for 8,000 OTD a couple of months ago. 2019 is definitely the safer bet in terms of the battery issues. If it’s a 2019 MXR and 10,500 is the OTD price then it depends on how bad you want it. Two weeks ago there was a 2019 with 63 miles on it for...

Awesome!

Thanks, yeah I’ve done both. I’ve been putting a fan on the bike between motos while it charges, but it’s no match for the Texas heat. I guess I can try filling my yard sprayer with ice water and spraying the battery and using the fan between motos to see if that helps cool it down.

Also, does anyone know if it hurts the pack to ride a hard moto, then immediately charge the pack with the quick charger while you’re resting, then immediately ride another hard moto, and continue this cycle through the day?

Does anyone know if Alta was producing the packs, or if the work was contracted out to a company that specializes in building battery packs?

I really wish there was a way for someone, or maybe even a group of former Alta employees to get together and continue producing these packs. It would be nice to be able to continue riding our Alta’s once the packs have reached the end of their lifecycle.

Awesome video!
