THE MXR costs $11,995, and the $799 fast charger has you back to full juice – in 1 and a half hours. My bike, had a quarter of battery life left… when my tank was on empty and I had to call it a day.
TWISTIT MOTORS AND TRANSMISSION PRO
ZACH MASKELL: At full open throttle, a pro rider would get about 30 minutes battery time. Which means basically, it can be submerged up to a meter of water up to a half hour.” LAURENCE LEA: “The bike is IP67 certified. While this does weigh about 30 pounds more than a traditional bike… it doesn’t ride much different. Brembo brakes, Warp 9 wheels, WP suspension and Dunlop tires from the factory.
Think of MAP 1 as a good technical back woods choice, and MAP 4 for a max power track attack. It changes traction, engine braking, and power delivery for the single speed transmission. ZACH MASKELL: It’s got 4 preprogrammed maps, which you can adjust on the fly with the touch of your finger. LAURENCE LEA: “The smooth control and the preciseness that’s delivered from an electric motor can have you in the perfect power band all the time.” But I started off slow – And just like that, a grin was glued to my face. I pictured myself twisting the throttle and the bike looping out from under me, sending it to the moon. ZACH MASKELL: I know there’s 147 ft-lb of torque to the counter-shaft available in a split second. We charged up and headed to Diablo MX Ranch… for a practice session alongside Alta’s in house rider.īLAKE NICHOLAS: “I didn’t think so and I didn’t feel like it but looking at the data I am faster on this bike.” ZACH MASKELL: From the battery, power goes to the motor, which goes down to a gear reduction… that turns the chain. The motor controller, basically think of it as a set of valves on a traditional bike and what it does, is the more you twist it, the more it distributes the power from the battery.” LAURENCE LEA: “Twist the throttle, which activates the motor controller here. We’ve increased power dramatically, from 40 horsepower to 50 horsepower to the rear wheel.” ZACH MASKELL: They’ve already proved their able, zapping into the final four of a Super Cross race full of gas competitors, the 2016 Red Bull Rhythm.ĭEREK DORRESTEYN: “The 2018 MXR is a substantial improvement over the last year’s MX base model. It is built to race, it is built to compete. LAURENCE LEA: “This bike is built for the track.

They offer a super moto good for 60 miles of asphalt cruising, an EX enduro bike for off-road plus urban assault, and for 2018, this, the new flagship of their arsenal… and the first track focused electric dirt bike we’ve driven yet, the Redshift MX-R. ZACH MASKELL: Inside the Brisbane, California factory, they assemble – you guessed it - all electric motorcycles. LAURENCE LEA: “It started in a garage in 2007, and it took about 5 years before we got the first working prototype.” “I’ve heard a lot about this San Francisco based company, and today we’re not only going to throw a leg over this Alta dirtbike, but we’re going to check out the inner workings as well.” No more gasoline, clutch, air filter, oil changes, or top end rebuilds. But, what about in the “two-wheel” world? Well, let’s “shred” over the edge with Zach Maskell as he heads west on what just might be “the future of fast.” Instantaneous power and longer lasting batteries are making some four-wheel EV newcomers irresistible. We’ve seen some incredible engineering milestones in the last few years… particularly on the electric side of things.
