How much longer?

The bike appears to be similar to the MXR, except for the new Xplor 48 fork, the EX 18" rear wheel, and the EX Metzeler tires. Can anyone see anything else that is new?

Can't wait for California and Alta Motors to wake up and say it!

In my small hill climbing experience, lugging the Alta up a hill is where it has a huge advantage over the gas bikes. But once you start roosting, which I suppose is advantageous in certain terrains, it does not matter as much what kind of powertrain you have.

Ten years ago nobody heard of the iPhone either. Cheer up, Mark. It was a good race.

The Big Announcement is almost here. It is going to be interesting, I bet.

This has been done before, you will need new triple clamps because the Cone Valve forks are larger in diameter. @Mark911 knows all about it. You might have to keep a slightly stiffer (stock??) rear spring for the MXR and a softer one for the KTM. Clicking some clickers might be enough...

Did you meet Ty himself, or is this just his new bike?

Looks like a barely used bone stock MXR with just a rear fender decal and some blue rear shock high-speed compression adjuster.

Rotated 25 minutes ago. Refresh your browser. Ctrl+F5 in Windows. Not sure about Mac, iPhone or Android. Now tell us the story.

The folk legs should be interchangeable. The KTM is about 20 lbs lighter, so the damping will probably be off. The shock could be interchangeable, but the damping will be off even farther. Why are you asking?

Cool, Butch! I should put an Eli Tomac sticker on my rear fender. Tell us more!

I guess, even a privateer team could bring two Alta bikes, or a bike and a spare battery, and enter this race. Perhaps the electric does have some advantage in such a race, so taking 5 minutes to swap batteries might be a reasonable trade-off. So, from this standpoint, this is not an idle...

Fog, you were going to review your suspension, once it is done. Is it done yet? How good it it, and what can you share?

Thanks, Fog. This is then one more option for the MXR suspension.

Kreft is currently tuning the MXR. They said it would take about a month. I considered sending my suspension to KTM World, but I didn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling when I talked to them. And I want that Revalve Control, so I might just wait and send my MXR suspension to Kreft when they are...

I agree 100%! Alta should give me an EXR and an SMR for a proper evaluation! :LOL:

Here is how to check if your coolant system is already plugged up: https://altaownersforum.com/threads/plug-your-coolant-overflow-hose.194/
