Are you in NYS?

This time hopefully oriented

Quick snaps of the morning ride. Thanks Alta.

Figured I would run a list of mods that I made to the EX for it to be a real dirt bike ready for north east and new england treachery... 1. Rear Brake - Nihilo tip for actual grip; Fasst return spring 2. NRC low profile fender eliminator 3. Rear tire - MT16 4. Rear wheel - 2.15 rim lock 5...

A point where the trail flattened and opened up enough for a pic

Interesting. I think my Ktm EXC (street legal) had rim locks. I wonder whether that is state specific or something.

I actually just ordered the lhrb from rekluse. Looking forward to it!!

I see that on the SM. I bet as the EX is more refined and comes more into being it’s own platform you’ll see the rim lock.

One thing I notice is that I don’t get nearly as tired on the Alta as my gas bike. Not sure what that’s all about yet. Maybe just power delivery. I also really like the turn radius - I guess no radiator to get in the way gives another inch or two both ways helps.

The The trials tires are sketchy in the corners. Even the hybrids if you’re really riding them. IMO it’s a one trick pony. If you get mud or want to corner hard it’s an easy tire to eliminate. I ride North east and New England terrain and really like the MT16. It’s 120-100-18. I’m wondering...

Anyone have an idea why the heck the rear tire has no rim lock? What’s the up side to not having a rim lock on the EX?

Thanks for that. Where are you doing the sprints? I’d love to race this bike I know it won’t make a long course enduro (obvi) and am not sure on h/s as im a B racer so on the long course. At least 2 hrs cld be 2hrs plus a lap.. so that leaves sprints.

Are you in NY area? If so PM me

What are guys running for gearing that run mostly ST? My 250 2t is 14/51 and it works pretty good for me, bike tractors. But as of now I’m still running stock on the Alta. I don’t need the top speed bc I’m close to trails. I want that rear wheel torque to be manageable and good traction for...

This time oriented properly.... I hope

I ride to trailhead. I’m in NY just out of the city. Trails everywhere that I can’t access with my 2t. Alta gets me on the bike almost every morning before work if even for 1.5-2 hrs ... that makes the experiment worth it for me. Where I ride Think tight rocky rocky ST with plenty of climbs...

Thanks guys I’ll give it a go. I bought the nihilo tip. It’s important enough to me to spend up a little.

How are guys getting those screw in pegs out of the pedal? Mine seem to be frozen in there. Anyone know what Allen size is used? I have about every metric size known to man and none seem to catch..

When you say brakes are from 2014 Ktm, does that mean brake caliper or brake pedal? I’d like to have a spare brake pedal as mine don’t always fair well in the rocky terrain I ride.. does anyone know if an aftermarket pedal that fits a 2014 Ktm will work?

which Ohlins unit is that? Thanks for the help. I did reach out to Scotts they said the frame bracket / clamp will not fit the alta even with a KTM triple...
