Glen told me to run a 66 N/mm spring. I am running the stock 60 N/mm spring for motocross. I weigh the same as you. Don't waste your $80 on a 7.0 spring, you'll never use it.

Does that XCF have a PDS shock without a linkage? That's the only way this spring rate would make any sense. @Mikec265 -- If you are as fast and as heavy as Rix, I would then buy a 66 N/mm spring and bring it to the track with you, in case you can't ride your 7.0. Or a 63 N/mm if you are just...

His spring rate recommendations are crazy. Ignore Glen, for your own good. Something is way off with his spring math, but his damping is spot on.

I am holding out for the Tesla Cargo Van so that I could sell everything that I own, except for the Alta bikes, and live in it. :cool:

It took me buying an Alta before I started liking it. You can't experience the awesome throttle control in 5 minutes on an unfamiliar track, while still getting used to not hearing the exhaust and not shifting gears. I really want a Tesla Model 3 now but not because I like the EV movement, or...

We've heard this rhetoric in Marc Fenigstein's @Honcho posts and presentations, but there wasn't much further details offered. I wonder if the plan was to eventually become a company like BRP with a line of odd but profitable non-motorcycles.

I was planning to make some 7mm spacers for folks to use with KTM front wheels, but many of the same folks just switched their triple clamps as well, plus Alta just closed doors. I wonder if those spacers are the same as KTM's, only 7mm longer. The MX/EX front wheels use a thicker axle than...

In the US the average annual mileage driven is about 12K miles. Divide this by approximately 250 days driven and it comes out to a 48 miles/day commute. Mine is 50 miles/day. The SM's range is a bit too short to cover this range reliably. Not everyone has an opportunity to plug in their bike...

I could make those spacers, should be easy. Need about 4-6 weeks. Why do you need them, I am curious, and how soon do you need them?

About the front spacers... I just got off the phone with Warp 9. They have never had the front wheel spacers. Alta has been making the front spacers themselves. This is why they do not have them. BRP hasn't called them, I was glad to hear that.

This thread deserves to be stickied!

Lots of us are probably willing to speak for days about the questions that you posted. I am thinking you also have questions and ideas about a new and improved business model. I think Alta's mistake was that they were overly optimistic by targeting the mainstream MX and Off-Road market this...

This is awesome, Tim! I want to help you as much as I can.

Some people do not fully appreciate how many things Alta Motors has done right with the Redshift. How well-designed and well-thought out all the critical systems are. Their first production bike was a smashing success, at least among those who rode and bought it.

I would be curious to know if an Alta's motor with a housing, a reduction gear, a battery, inverter and controller, etc. is a lot heavier than a 450cc 4-stroke motor, a gearbox, exhaust, and a full 2-gallon gas tank.

Ok, so 115kg is 253 lbs. Is the HP 50hp like on the MXR or 40hp like on the MX. Are zero motors never water cooled? Just trying to access here whether Alta has achieved any extraordinary on-paper performance specifications, or whether it can be replicated by anyone with a garage and a welder.

The rear Alta wheels are exactly the same as KTM's. The front Alta wheels have hubs that are wider by 7mm on each side. KTM wheels will fit too, just with 7mm axle spacers and 7mm caliper spacers.
