An upgrade that is currently worth about ~$2K, in the eyes of the marketplace.

This is not true. The main Alta's competition right now is the Big 6 manufacturers with their ICE bikes, which are still considered the only ones eligible for serious racing, and their soon-to-come electric bikes as well. If the word gets out that owning an electric bike is just swapping one set...

A couple of years ago I heard Ford was investing in this exact technology.

IIRC, one of the MXA writers (Dennis Stapleton??) has already ridden an Alta, probably in a parking lot. But it took a few rides, a couple or practices, and an actual racing experience (as a hard confirmation) to get me to fall in love with the Alta with both my heart and mind.

I am putting a 0.01 BTC bounty to whoever hacks the Alta and lets us log things!

@Judaslefourbe -- Please give MXA a bike to test and pay for a one-page ad. Make MXA great again!

I had to Google that one. OMG! Super Hunky is a technical writer who is actually seriously funny. http://articles.superhunky.com/4/80

Yes, I agree, MXA is the best when it comes to shootouts. And they do have some mild technical content too. This is why I subscribe to them in the first place, and this is why I used to love to read them. I am allergic to magazines that only have pictures and ads. I was getting a feeling though...

I haven't opened the last two MXA issues yet, and I just received the third one. I am not excited about opening and reading it nearly as much as I have always been. Does anyone else here feel the same way? I am dreading to see another 2018 RMZ review, the exact same review of the exact same...

Wow. Sounds to me like you may be getting an MXR upgrade for free. ;) I mean, why not? AFAIK, the battery, the harness, and the controller software is what differentiates the MXR from the MX, powertrain-wise.

Just got an email from Alta:

Do you have a pic to share?

Click on my name, then 'Start Conversation'. PM me your address and I will quote the shipping. Thank you.

Matt -- that 64 N/mm spring should be a great upgrade for the MX @Josh402

They sold him a 64 N/mm spring for some unknown reason. The next step up from the stock 60 N/mm would have been 62 N/mm.

Added the prices.

Damn. That's hard. Would trials bikes and easy-to-carry electric bicycles be in a different class, I suppose? Else they might win, and win overall, LOL!

I got my custom decal kit design finalized. The guys at Limited Decal were awesome to work with, they did exactly what I asked for. It only took 9 iterations, haha! (y) If you want a kit similar to this one, here is their contact information: Limited Decal 37995 Mohawk Drive Charlotte Hall...

For me it is much easier to do treacherous hill climbs on an Alta, compared to a 2-stroke. But if I had to lift the bike and carry it over the mountain that would be a different story.

I agree, they should. They just might not want to do it for free. Did they revalve your fork as well?
