2018 ALTA REDSHIFT MXR I own a 2017 Alta Redshift MX. Yesterday Alta Motors had a demo day at Hollister Hills SVRA , south of San Francisco. I got to check out and ride the 2018 Alta Redshift MXR. Below is the review. MXA has never written an Alta review, so I will write one for them. Q: IS...

I revalved the stock 4CS fork this week following the specs that Alta sent me. The local MX track is closed for two seeks. So I went to my favorite off-road trail to test it. OMG! The ravalved shock worked before but now the fork works too! This was not a motocross track test with jumps and...

I have revalved the shock last weekend, following the new specs that Alta gave me. IT WORKED! I set both the compression and the rebound at 15 clicks at home and did not have to touch them at the track. The bike is well balanced, and I can jump much higher and farther. And the traction is still...

Back from testing a stock KYB SSS (2015 YZ450F) front end on my Alta. It worked! I put one 0.54 kg/mm and one 0.56 kg/mm spring in it. I ended up with almost the same clicker settings that I ran on the 2-stroke: Compression - 10 clicks, Rebound 8 clicks. The KYB SSS saves the day! I am getting...

Alta just emailed me a spreadsheet with the shim stack specs from their motocross team! I am pumped!!! :giggle:(y)

I will try to keep things simple. Move the YZ450F front end from my Husky onto the Alta and install stiffer springs. The Alta's fork springs are 12% stiffer, so maybe the SSS holds up. But I must revalve the shock. The shock spring on the Alta is 20% stiffer.

Ok, I have things to report back after my first MX track day... There are good news and there are bad news. Most of the news is good though. The good news is that the choice of springs was correct for me and my riding skill level (200 lbs, Intermediate). Not too stiff, and not as soft as...

The availability of stiffer springs is very limited. Race Tech has Variant 1 springs. But the best 4CS spring selection that I was able to find was at Slavens. If I am wrong I will buy Variant 1 springs. Luckily, 4CS springs can be swapped at the track in under 10 minutes!

Just thought I'd post a quick update. I bought my Alta Redshift! It is a 2017 Alta Redshift MX. It was a dealer demo, and it came with white plastic and a kickass graphics kit. I love it! Enjoy the pics, and let me know if you have any questions about the bike. -Philip

Greetings! I just bought an electric 2017 Alta Redshift MX. Love it to pieces! I have been trail riding it on powerline roads for the last week. It has a ton of traction, a lot of instant HP, and it is always in the right gear. It weighs 260 lbs, but without a heavy flywheel if feels very...

Last weekend I rode from Arizona to Hollister Hills SVRA for an Alta Redshift MX factory demo day. I wrote down my impressions and I just have to share! First, of course, I was impressed with the bike itself. The engineering is top-notch! Solid components, very good design, everything is...
