Brisbane, CA, June 12, 2018 – Alta Motors, the leader in high-performance electric
motorcycles, today announced the release of its highly-anticipated Redshift EXR.
The 2019 Redshift EXR is the ideal multi-terrain motorcycle for the performance
enthusiast, but equally intuitive and easy to ride for beginners. It recently made a
clandestine global debut at the notorious Erzberg Rodeo and made history as the first
electric bike to ever qualify for the main event. Ty Tremaine positioned his EXR on the
front row in 43rd position, ahead of 457 other bikes, proving the EXR’s performance in
the most extreme race conditions.
“The Redshift EXR climbs ridiculously well,” said Ty Tremaine. “Even on the most
treacherous trails, like the Iron Mountain, its really intuitive and easy to control. Hands
down, this is the best enduro bike on the market, and a lot of fun to ride.”
Alta created a bike that can be ridden to local trails and unleashed to flow through offroad
obstacles and effortlessly conquer even the most daunting hill climbs. Impossible
to stall and incredibly sure-footed, the EXR is a purebred, single-track slayer with street
legal capabilities. As a zero-emission, street legal dirt bike, the Redshift EXR has full
access to all areas that permit off-highway vehicles, regardless of the season. With
minimal engine noise, the riding experience heightens the rider’s senses to the terrain
around them while promoting responsible land usage.
The 2019 Redshift EXR will be available at over 60 dealerships nationwide midyear.
Key Features and Benefits
R-Pack
Building off of Alta’s industry-leading A-pack technology, the highest-energy density
battery ever put in a motorcycle, the new R-Pack represents the next evolution in
battery performance. Alta’s new R-Pack utilizes state-of-the-art cell chemistry that
delivers extended full-power range at cooler operating temperatures. The Redshift
platform’s firmware and software upgrades result in more range, increased power and
faster charge times, making the 2019 EXR one of the most capable multi-terrain
motorcycles available.
Electronics
Alta’s proprietary software is developed to be lean and elegant. The company’s
development cycles are extremely fast and have enabled Alta to create the most refined
throttle feel in the industry as well as swiftly release new controls and capabilities. Four
unique performance maps allow the rider to change the power delivery character,
engine braking freewheel, and flywheel effects. The Open loop “rate of change” torque
control has a response rate of 5,000Hz, yielding the closest thing to “theoretically
perfect” torque control yet achieved in the motorcycle industry. The seamless drive
technology lets you focus on the terrain and the obstacles rather than what the engine
clutch and transmission need from you. This means more of your attention is on the
ride.
