A pretty cool overview of Alta's bikes and technology

Beautiful riding footage as well!

Excellent video. Especially liked the factory footage.
Interesting how oriented these bikes are towards motocross vs trail riding & enduro.
In Israel, enduro riding is much more popular than Mx. I guess it is the other way around in the US. Alta's motocross videos are much more popular than enduro videos.

I think trail riding is the most popular in the US. Just going out into the woods or deserts with friends and chasing each other. Everyone can do that, unlike motocross with its jumping and competitiveness. But motocross is surely more exciting to watch, this is probably why motocross videos are so popular.

I agree, but it seems like Alta are heavily oriented towards Motocross than enduro. The EX does not get nearly as much publicity as its Mx brothers.

I think it’s mainly due to the technology fitting the supercross application so well, which is what they were originally going for.

Yep. Enduro riders often want to ride for 4 hours and 70 miles, and Alta cannot deliver. But they can just tell MX riders to buy a gas generator and charge it.
