2018 Alta Redshift MX Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Alta's cross - motocross motorcycle platform, the 2018 Alta Redshift MX features a purpose-built liquid-cooled electric configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 42 HP (30.7 kW) while maximum torque reaches 162.7 Nm (120 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 1-speed gearbox and chain final drive.

On the scales, the Redshift MX measures 120.2 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.35 HP/kg (2.86 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 940 mm (37 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,461 mm (57.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
