Great review. I also ride an EX and love it. The shocks perform well (mostly rocky terrain) and I see no reason changing anything at the moment. The gear oil you need is 75W90. Replacement is simple. I use lower foot pegs by fastway (you'll need the Yamaha YZ250 version). Helps a bit for...

Forget the bike. What is this car in the background??

Remote control planes is my other hobby. Sometimes, going dor a ride is just an excuse to fly the drone 😉 I use the Parrot Bebop 2 drone. It has excellent follow me mode (both gps and image recognition). It lacks sensors to avoid collision. The DJI Mavic is the leading drone today for these...

Yeah, it raised the rear wheel (can be hearded in the video). I swear, this rock jumped out of nowhere 😉

The motor braking is quite different, to my understanding. The EX have motor braking in maps 3 & 4. The MX motor braking is most noticable on the lower maps. Some other differences as well.

too much fun...

Great photos. What rear tire is that?

Great info, thanks. Zero are using pouch cased cells and not the more familiar 18650 cylinder cells. They do it mainly for space saving. Is there a possibility that Alta are using these kind of cells as well? Just curious..

The battery explanation is great, and the fact that you ride a EX is even greater. We are surrounded by MXRs... 😉 Welcome to the forum @bluefxstc

What do you guys think about this fender eliminator? Can help the EX/SM guys to turn it to a more sporty version. The MX/MXR riders can use it for on road riding with the needed accesories...

When I owned a Zero electric motorcycle, we reached the conclusion that regen does not add much to the battery capacity. Sometimes, turning regen off (possible in the Zero) and coasting when the throttle is off, will get you further.

Copy paste to that. Agree with everything Steve suggested.

Great to hear the Alta LHRB kit is out. The price is even lowerthan I expected. I couldn't wait and installed the Rekluse kit. Works well and retain the foot brake.

He whiskey throttled it by instinct. That is where a clutch lever is handy, and could have saved him..

Apart from the chargers, the SM & MXR are completely different. What type of riding are you planning to do?

I like the more refine look of Philip's 2017 black & white MX. This is what I would choose. That said, this metalic orange Redshift looks interesting.

Thanks Philip for the comparison. No wonder the MXR is Alta's best sellerr, by far...

When comparing both bikes, is there something that the MX does better than the MXR?

Almost impossible to do. It is not really an option. If you want to ride outside the closed course, you need to purchase a licenced bike in the first place.
