An interesting journey .. had a similar experience when I put a 'Flow' shock on my bike. Couldn't get it to the point of being that 'bolt on magic' that the previous TTX44 iteration was. So I eventually ferreted out a 44, had it refreshed & abracadabra ; the chassis immediately felt 25% better...

To be fair, Stark has expressed interest in competing in MX & SX, don't recall hearing about the longer distance events as a focus of their competitive efforts. Those are 30min+ at their longest & it could very well be ( as stated ) that their current configuration allows for that even at the...

My only interest is in the machines performance ; chassis geometry, suspension, power modulation & weight are the things I care about.

In a recent interview on PulpMx, the company founder stated that 5000 units were sold in the 1st 6 weeks. 5000 units is quite impressive in that it factors to 60 million in sales @ 12K each, all in one and a half months ! Likely the best selling vehicle of any kind during that time. If...

Happy chubby lobos ! Perhaps the efficiencies needed for production will result in a net lowering of OA weight if only slightly. Hooray if true. Reasoning for the raised eyebrow when 'production ready components' are mentioned ; The 1997/98 KTM 200. They introduced that all new, much...

The other shoe as it were ... ? Let's just hope that the production models don't 'evolve' as a 20 lb heavier machine vis-a-vis those production ready components. That 242 claimed weight is likely an important component driving the apparent avalanche of pre-orders & overall positive industry buzz.

Encouraged by such a no-compromise focus on performance. I once bought a Freeride 250R 2s & moved heaven & earth in an attempt at a 205lb XCW type machine. Couldn't overcome the designed-in chassis geometry & limited suspension performance despite $ignificant modifications to both.

Can't believe that their paid testers ( Hill & Tortelli ) would want to look like lying stooges for an unknown manufacturer. Hill in particular seems to be well regarded concerning his experience & estimation of the Alta machines, reasonable to assume he has a good reference point. I've...

Brilliant ! Guess the remaining pieces of the puzzle are just down to software / programming. Carry on & thanks.

Indeed, there's several videos of extended trail rides by a fellow in Hawaii on one of the Electric Motion bikes with a hydraulic clutch - from what I can tell it's more of an 'all or nothing' type of engagement than what we're used to on a gas bike. It's encouraging that Stark realizes there's...

Based on most of what I'm seeing here & the premise of a lighter OA package, better suspension & more adjustable parameters - this new bike could be / should be brilliant for what I have in mind. Sounds as if I'll need to somewhat re-learn throttle control for an e Bike though in current...

Lots to digest & some differing viewpoints as expected regarding off road capability. Figured Alta owners would be the best source for real opinions. Thanks ! ^^^ This ! Reason enough perhaps as the older I get, the heavier even a 250 two stroke feels in technical terrain. So an even...

Have fitted my last 3 bikes with a recluse & if the power delivery of an electric machine is at least as user friendly as the gas / rekluse combination, that'll be just fine. Sure hope the specifications being touted are manifested in the production versions. The stated weight is about the...

So yeah, I'm a new guy to the forum & have never owned an electric bike. Hello one & all. Pony'd up my hunnert bucks within hours of the initial presentation of this Varg machine. The prospect of a far lighter Alta concept with KYB suspension, user programmable power delivery & ( perhaps )...
