    Is the Redshift MX suspension worth re-valving?

    Nothing to be sorry about. My dyno session was rescheduled for next Monday. We will show the world what the MX can do!

    Is the Redshift MX suspension worth re-valving?

    The MX is actually damped very appropriately for the springs. However, the springs are inappropriately soft. So soft that you cannot even hop from anything or jump the whoops. It just soaks them in, if the travel allows, or bottoms out on them, if they are larger than the suspension travel...

    Redshift in hard enduro

    What else are you keeping from us? :devilish: When will we have SMR and EXR? When will a 60hp MXR-R model come out? What about the AWD bike? Will we be able to ride nose wheelies for miles?

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    I will be mailing my fork out to Adam at Kreft Moto soon. He can do the fork without looking at the bike. Some local Alta owner promised to give him the whole bike. He will then measure things and will be able to do shocks. The problem is that I am not a hostage to that other Alta owner who I...

    Redshift in hard enduro

    They will probably use the latest battery pack and all-custom suspension, at which point nobody will be able to tell the difference between the MXR and the EX.

    Redshift in hard enduro

    That's awesome! I read up the Wikipedia, and it sounds totally doable, LOL! Only 13km on Friday and Saturday and only 35km on Sunday. Mostly uphill, I am guessing. :ricky::muutt: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erzberg_Rodeo

    Redshift in hard enduro

    Alta already had a military bike concept with AWD. I also asked Marc the CEO about adding the AWD to the Redshift, but he was cautious about such radical innovations on their new flagship bike. It is possible though, and I am sure Alta has some prototype FWD add-on kit collecting dust on a...

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    I wasn't hoping that this would actually happen, but who knows, it does not hurt to ask. Can you share the shock's shim stacks?

    Must be the gears. Cold gear oil quiets things down.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    If they had, I really wish they had not. Zeros are irrelevant in the motocross world. Trail riding, maybe. But this is what the EX is for. I am convinced the MXR rear shock was just a result of a mad rush to start selling the latest and greatest MXR bikes ASAP, and tune the suspension later.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    Well, Altas are not suited for long open trails yet, so it is going to be mostly just us in the time being. Alta should better take that into account. After they screwed up badly with the 2017 MX springs and damping they fixed the springs on the 2018 MXR. Next year I hope they would fix the...

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    I think they kept the stock KTM damping (to save money) and just slapped on a much stiffer rear spring. The front is so-so, bit the rear is underdamped.
