The US off-road media were out in force at Perris Raceway to take their first look and first ride of the all-new 2018 Alta REDSHIFT MXR this week.
We’ve put together a round-up of the first impressions and first rides of the Alta Motors electric motocross bike.
So what’s new and how does it compare to the previous fully-electric motocross bike from Alta Motors? Watch the videos to get some very interesting thoughts on the electric speed machine. Spoiler alert: they’re impressed.
The first video is from TWMX. It gives you a brief overview of the electric bike from Alta Motors’ Derek Dorresteyn. Test rider Pat Foster then takes over and gives his impressions after putting down some heaters. Another spoiler: he describes the REDSHIFT MXR as one of the best cornering bikes he’s ever ridden.
