Also, another conclusion is that if you are not going to ride your MXR in Map 4, then you could save a lot of money by buying my slightly used MX. ;)

Sounds like Alta is really serious this time about finishing the race, and perhaps even showing a good result... or maybe even winning. They obviously do not want to raise the expectations too high, but such statements are telling me that they are definitely not joking around.

From Alta Motors, today: Alta Factory Racing team riders, Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt, will make history as they pilot the first electric motorcycles ever to compete for the podium at the Erzberg Rodeo, the most challenging off-road event in the world. Part of the Red Bull Hard Enduro...

Now, the biggest revelation for me so far has been Map 4. If you are not using Map 4, then you are not using the full power of the Redshift. It is like never opening the throttle fully. Riding in Map 4, but not opening the throttle fully, is almost the same thing. Why do riders prefer other...

Yes, absolutely.

No, you have a stock MX spring and suspension. The MX has a different linkage and runs a heavier spring.

Alta Redshift MXR and MX on a Dyno - Riding Maps Demystified

Yes, 12/53 teeth.

Here is the Dirt Bike magazine 2018 450cc dyno shootout: https://dirtbikemagazine.com/2018-450-mx-bikes-on-the-dyno

A few key observations (more will be added, as they are revealed): 1) Map 1 is a slow map. Period. 2) Map 3 is more powerful than Map 2, but only up until 30 mph. After that these two maps are identical. 3) Map 4 is in a category of its own. It is way-way more powerful than all other maps (I...

I thought, wouldn't it be nice to dyno my two Redshifts? Of course it would! I googled the web and found an interesting Dirt Bike magazine article with all the charts and even numbers of the 2018 model year 450cc motocross bikes. They used an FMF DynoJet dyno. So, I googled and called around...

Welcome aboard, Chris! We appreciate and are very excited about the support that Alta motorcycles are receiving from the aftermarket. Thank you for making cool and flashy (!!!) things for us!

From listening to the Redshift old-timers it seems like the software updates have been rare and even somewhat optional. You might be better of renting a laptop only when you need it.

Supermoto R? Then it should be SMR.

Sounds like a good excuse to try racing slicks on your bike! Too bad I am almost never in California on July 1st.

@aremean79 -- I think you may want to buy your MXR from Elite Motorsports together with that rental laptop. You will be able to do your own updates and diagnostics at home in Singapore.

This could be an really attractive solution to some. $3,000 added to my home equity line of credit is just $10/mo. It is about the same as buying a Yamaha's GYTR tuner thingie, if taken over the average duration of a bike ownership. Or less, if you want to keep things as-is and return the laptop...
