2018 Alta Motors Redshift MXR gives gas bikes a run for their money

The 2018 MXR drops weight over the standard MX model, making it even easier to throw around on the dirt or in the pits.

We're looking forward to the MXR's upgrades trickling up to the Enduro and Supermoto models, both of which are street legal.

Individual results may vary.

The Alta Redshift MXR has more than enough power to haul you and your favorite broom.

The Redshift MXR will recharge in 1.5 hours on 240 volts.

This is what happens when you give motorcyclists 147 pound-feet of instantly available torque.

Thankfully Alta has used a minimal amount of wax in the construction of the MXR, thus ensuring you won't melt flying this close to the sun.
