What? When did this happen? Is the new Alta's marketing strategy to keep things on the down-low and not build up the anticipation before good results start coming in?

The '14 EXC KTMs that came with 4CS forks should have the same fork guards. You might have to buy a black graphics kit if you want to make your whole bike black.

Yes. All the Redshift plastic ever made and sold to the public so far is either the same or interchangeable.

@Fog 25 -- You are famous once again today. MXA just sent their Mammoth race report: https://motocrossactionmag.com/mammoth-mountain-motocross-vet-weekend-photo-gallery You are there about half-way down: Steve Rawson raced an Alta electric bike to third in the Over-60 Experts by being a...

If you, off-road guys, haven't tried the Tube Saddle setup, you really should. You can run it as low as the Tubliss, both front and rear, but you are not risking dinging up the rims. The thick foam protests the rims much better than the 100psi skinny bicycle tube. On a second though, I have a...

Which one is your "Tractor Mode"? Map 1?

If he hasn't ridden an Alta himself yet, then he wouldn't be able to write a good article. A local Alta owner or Alta dealer needs to bring him a bike to try out.

It is a quick 5-minute job when two factory mechanics do it. But I do not think any single racer would be able to do it alone by himself between motos, two-three times per week. I really hope the next generation of the Redshift would make the battery swapping either easy or unnecessary.

The Alta knows its rear wheel's RPM, which is always proportional to the engine's RPM. It also has a built-in tri-axial accelerometer and gyro built in. This is all that you really need for traction control. From here on it is just programming and tuning. I am sure they have some early and crude...

Nah. Unlike the case with odd displacement gas bikes, with electric MX bikes the question is not IF but WHEN. When a quarter of the field becomes electric, then the AMA will start to worry about their outdated rules. Until then I am okay with racing vet and open classes. I haven't raced two...

This is a typical first impression on these bikes. The rear wheel sounds like you have a flat. This does not correspond to the rear end wiggling side-to-side though, what you felt in the corners must have been the dangling outside knobbies.

Yep, I can confirm this works. I had 7 mm worth of washers between the caliper and the axle lug bracket with a Yamaha front wheel when I ran a KYB SSS fork on my MX. It was pretty simple. But if you can space out the rotor instead, then it would make switching from dirt to road wheels a lot...

Perhaps it might be the time to reach out to @MVetter from DigiNow. I heard their chargers can charge from almost any power source. Also, Rapid chargers are taking way too long to catch up with the demand for them. Most of us still do not have anything faster than the Standard charger.

I think providing one bike and receiving a positive MXA review will create way more sales for Alta than several dealer demo bikes, which are just sitting there on the dealer's floor and are ridden by the dealership staff.

Every Alta is Special.

I was thinking the Grand Canyon! Very nice. You can read the member' location if you click their name.

I just got one on eBay too, with a bracket. But it looks like new calipers were available. I saw them listed as available on more than one site.

2010 KTM 990 Supermoto SMT CALIPER REAR WITHOUT PADS $209.55 2007 KTM 950 Supermoto CALIPER REAR WITHOUT PADS $191.52 6001308000103 is not coming up anywhere. The pads should be $20-30. Depending on the quantity and complexity, I figure the bracket cost will be $50-100 each.

I source CNC machined parts from China all the time. I can get them machined there dirt cheap. Even after the shipping is paid the US machine shops still cannot compete on price. And the quality has been very good too, if the parts are not overly complex. The key is to pick the correct...
