Yes, the lower priced bike doesn't have the Ohlins, $3k savings right there. And interesting you mention Zero possibly offering a dirt bike, I just emailed them the other day asking if they were planning on building and selling a full on dirt bike like an Alta and this is what they said. A...

Lower cost option is a good idea, I hope they thrive and can get the prices down on both of their offerings over time.

Nice! I'd like one too, when you get around to it, thanks. -Eddie

520/525/500 KTM's are amazing do it all bikes, nice score RW.

And those square edges everywhere, an invitation to destruction out on the trails. I do applaud them though, the bike has a niche somewhere and seems well designed and built from what I'm hearing.

Ordered the LHRB cable on Thursday from LP, got it this morning, Saturday. This was the last of the bits I needed to install the LHRB setup on my Alta. Everything looks good. Thanks again LP! Was very curious to see if the cable would thread properly into the cheap ebay Chinese clutch master...

I’ve purchased a number of Alta parts from Liquid Performance on ebay and every transaction has gone smoothly. Good prices, good service, fast shipping. Thanks LP!

Here's the link I used, just placed an order, thanks Ayden! And thanks everyone for the LHRB info! Alta Motors HOSE, BRAKE, REAR, HAND OPERATED, WITH MOUNTING CLAMP 7004049-00 | eBay

Rapid charger is not that large, a lot of room in the case for the cables. Could pack down quite a bit smaller either installed on a bike somewhere or in a smaller case for backpack or on bike pack carry. Not sure how robust it is.

@snydes thanks for the mention, so many good peeps here way before my time. Thanks Philip and everyone else, if it wasn't for this forum and everyone here I wouldn't even consider owning an Alta. This Alta Motors Mutual Admiration Society Meeting is now in session, Lol. So there were, there...

Subco is taking pre-orders on their new FXR1, "the perfect fusion of MTB and dirt bike". Spendy, I wonder if its more capable then the Sur Ron X? Currently priced at $9k, pre-order pricing. There's a private riding club west of Seattle that uses the 2wd Ubco's for trail maintenance, they love...

I installed’14 KTM 500 EXC triples on my ‘18 MXR, 20 mm offset, didn’t notice any change on the trails with the new triples, bolted right up.

So far, very little use, but I like my B&S Q6500. Got it shipped from Home Depot on sale, then applied some type of HD coupon they sent me, I think its as good as any medium price, medium output, medium quiet genset out there.

Nice work, and nice riding, you MX/SX dudes are crazy. And the hand signals for the power level - excellent, made it very easy to follow along. Looking forward to additional top speed runs.

No crystal ball, just constant wondering, pondering, thinking about our Altas, wishing BRP would revive Atla, or a major would drop an Alta v2.0. Thinking, thinking, thinking, Lol. Seriously though, I think we're all in good shape with our Altas, they're selling for what I think are fair...

I'm trying to time my Alta ownership perfectly, as in, sell my Alta for top dollar the day before Honda or KTM announces their Alta comparable e-dirt bike will be coming to market immediately. That's not going to happen any time soon I don't think, but I can dream. I think I will keep the Alta...

I don't already have a manufacturer supported bike. So I'd gladly spend the money for that - if the performance was similar or better. That would be a bike that is supported by the manufacturer, that I can stop by a dealership to get parts, order parts, get service, get advice, etc. I'd also...

Good to know. For the moment my plan is to keep riding and enjoying the MXR until KTM or Honda, or someone, drops an Alta comparable e-dirt bike. At that point I'll pick up one of those and decide what to do with the MXR. And as I mentioned, if someone figured out a clean solution for a lighter...

I definitely need to hit the gym! And re looks, my immaturity shines through, even thru a moto helmet! Hides the gray hair and thinning hair nicely, Lol.

Forgot to mention, that white Rubbermaid step above doubles as a bike stand, its the perfect height and surprisingly sturdy. My first one lasted for years before finally giving up the ghost and I didn't exactly treat it with kid gloves. Double duty stuff is the best.
