My wife still isn’t thrilled with my latest purchase, but that’s something that in time, she will have to get over. Overall, switching out my 2015 KTM Freeride E-XC for the Alta Redshift EX was one of the greatest decisions I ever made. This will probably be the first and only enhancement I make to the bike in the near future. I found that the tires didn’t really give much more grip and neither did the foot peg. Since I was very eager to find a ride with better tires and traction, I was slightly disappointed. Learning the bike might have taken me some time but it wasn’t nearly as tough as it could’ve been and the prospect of using it in my next race didn’t intimidate me at all. It did take a lot of getting used to, but all the adjustment was worth it. Once I gave the Alta a few test runs on various terrains, I found myself completely satisfied with my new addition especially on off-road trails. I even went inside to watch more videos before I jumped on the bike to test it out. I started doubting my hasty decision to purchase a new bike so close to my next endurocross race. When the Alta Redshift EX was delivered by A1Auto and dropped off in my driveway, its overall appearance was much different than that of my previous bike.

However, if I decided to buy the new Alta, I’d have to sell my KTM which in some ways was heartbreaking.Īlta Motors Redshift EX What Fueled My Decision…Īfter learning the specs of the Alta Redshift EX and reading a ton of reviews, there were some things that really stood out to me. Alta already earned a reputation as a brand that created bikes that were fun to ride, versatile and reliable. Even though the bike was much different than my KTM, it was hard not to gain interest. I had heard a lot about this bike since its 2018 release was announced last November. Through my research I started looking further into the new Alta Redshift EX. The forks have a hard time holding up after long jumps even after I adjusted the springs. The bike was more entry-level than professional and I wanted something more advanced.They had a hard time shedding the mud, dirt and debris. It’s lightweight construction (easy to ride but I wanted something with more weight and durability).There wasn’t a lot of stopping power and the brake levers were also a little small for my preference. Here is what I didn’t like very much about my 2015 KTM Freeride E-XC: Of course, some of these flaws could easily be corrected but I wanted to write them all out anyway so that I could draw comparisons as I conducted my research. Before I started looking into the newer lines of enduro bikes available, I wrote out a list of things that disappointed me when it came to my KTM.
