Was flying pretty good dead engine down the trail and came across some hikers. Going down the mountain, over that rough terrain, I sometimes turn off the engine and put it in neutral. I do love the snap and crackle of my 300cc two stroke though - the ICE engine's personality adds to the experience for me, but I get that other trail users do not share that view. I will keep watching these, and eventually may get one. Forget the bike, I needed an oxygen bottle at times! The Alta sounds like it would be great for that kind of riding, and the ability to tone it down when needed via a push of a button for that kind of tricky terrain is sweet indeed. It took a few hours to go 11 miles in those roots and rocks, and the elevation topped out at 11,000 feet, on the edge of the tree line. I spent a day yesterday riding in truly gnarly rocky terrain in the San Isabel National Forest here in Colorado. That does not take away from the fact that the Alta is cool. A properly running 450 is still stupid fast at 8,000 feet, and pretty much unrideable at sea level, at least by me. Any modern 4 stroke dirt bike has fuel injection, runs perfectly at elevation, albeit with less power. Old faithful is woefully out of date with a carb.

Additionally, whenever a new generation Alta comes out with improved mapping or system updates, a dealer can download those same settings and upload it to your bike to keep its current current.

On the bright side, Alta claims the 2019 Redshift EXR with its new software takes only 1.5 hours to charge from fully dead on 240v, and 3 hours on 120v, which is twice as fast as the 2018 model. Still, it’s hard to justify spending $12,495 on a motorcycle that needs to find a power source after just 60 miles, or less. Surprisingly this bike still has oil and coolant, so is it actually less maint. Riding an Alta is unlike riding anything else – it’s stupid fun – and anyone who’s ridden one would most definitely agree – I’d bet my grandma on it.Ģ018 Alta Motors Redshift MX and MXR First Ride Review In this video I talk a bit about the maintenance I do on my Alta Redshift MXR. But what about its lack of maintenance, other than keeping air in the tires, chain lubed, and battery charged? Or its instant power delivery at any speed? Are we getting any warmer? There’s really something sweet about being able to twist the throttle without ever worrying about bogging or stalling. But not everyone lives at altitude – I get that – so maybe the Alta’s lack of need for tuning isn’t enough to sell you on it. It’s certainly one of the EXR’s benefits. I couldn’t help but think how the Alta EXR would have been completely unfazed by it – 50 horsepower and 42 lb-ft of torque at sea level is 50 horsepower and 42 lb-ft at 7,880+ feet, or any elevation for that matter.
