Used this forum to purchase my new 2018 MX, may buy an MXR too

Ladies and Gentleman,
I just scoured this forum looking for information on these crazy things, and finally pulled the trigger and bought a 1.7 hr 33 mile 2018 Alta Redshift MX. It is so beautiful and fast, the person I bought it from also had an MXR with the same mileage, and I am curious on whether or not I should pick it up as well?
Thanks,
Chad

Congrats and welcome to the club!

Do not tell anyone about a new MXR for $9,500. Folks have been paying or considering to pay $13-15K for lightly used ones!

Thanks Philip! Glad to be part of the exclusivity, so go ahead and buy the MXR then you are telling me, LOL.

Not necessarily. If most of what you do is trail riding, and you mostly ride in Maps 1 - 3, and you don't need to clear big jumps, then you could be happier with the MX. It has a soft and pleasant suspension, and its Panasonic cells, apparently, give the bike a slightly longer range.

Plenty of guys on here would love to know about this MXR if you don’t buy it. Please share with us if you don’t take it.
