    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    The High-Speed Rebound does not have a knob. But you can try and let us know. If you have access to a good shock bleeder, you might even be able to mix in the thicker oil without opening the shock up.

    I wonder how soon Mark will be opening his own Alta tuning shop, followed by a Tesla tuning shop. Do you even need a dyno? Or maybe a slightly bigger Kill-A-Watt meter could serve the same function?

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    An interesting approach, but then your high-speed compression and rebound will get messed up.

    Electric Mountain Bikes

    I used to own a Stealth B-52 electric bike. The manufacturer shows some awesome videos on YouTube of Ronnie Renner riding them and having fun. I bought one a year ago. It has 8 electric horsepower. Pedaling is optional, it adds perhaps less than half of one horsepower. Worst 2-wheeled...

    Availability of Rapid chargers

    Thank you, Fod! I am waiting for Jeremy to call me back. This is awesome, Scott. I really appreciate the offer and the support! But let me first check if I could just find a Rapid one and be done with it.

    2018 Alta MXR Shock Re-Spring and Re-Valve

    I went to a local track yesterday with both bikes. The MX with its revalved suspension did beautifully. The only thing it did not do beautifully is blowing through the stroke on hard landings and in some large whoops. I should try more high-speed compression. The MXR felt great and very light...

    Availability of Rapid chargers

    Does anyone know an Alta dealer that may have a Rapid charger in stock and available for purchase? I bought my MXR two weeks ago without the standard charger. The Rapid one was not available, and I did not want to pay for the standard one. My local dealer has no idea when he will be getting...

    Aftermarket fender eliminator for Alta

    My wallet was burning a hole in my pants. I was itching to buy a $1,100 titanium pipe for my Alta. Unfortunately nobody makes one yet. No high-compression pistons, hot cams, or Rekluse auto clutches either. So my plan B is to splurge on a graphics kit.

    Questions from a potential owner #2

    Not sure about the rear subsection, but the fender appears the same. I have heard that the rear wheel's travel was slightly reduced instead.

    Which maps are for what? (MX, MXR, EX)

    This MXR map configuration is the same as shown in the 2017 Redshift MX Manual. I haven't fully butt dynoed my MXR yet, but I swear than on my MX Map 2 has more regen braking than Map 3. This is why prefer it over Map 3 on most tracks. And the throttle response is quicker in Map 3 than in Map...

    Which maps are for what? (MX, MXR, EX)

    In my 2017, which seems to have had its software updated late last year, I distinctly feel the difference in Regen braking in maps 1&2 compared to maps 3&4. The bike is more stable when entering turns in maps 1&2. Also, when I jump, the bike nose dives up in the air immediately if I do not...

    Owner's Review Redshift MXR owners ride review

    We hold everybody to much higher standards here on the Internet, LOL! I thought of that get-up-and-go speediness in theory only. Didn't get a chance to test it in practice yet. I fell only twice this whole year -- both are low-speed tip overs in corners. The Redshift should get an IIHS Top...
