Surely this would be enough for us to answer some questions, right? Our test days consisted of urban commuting through the heart of San Francisco and a dirt rip in the mountains of Nevada City. So, when they offered to send us up to their headquarters to jump on the all-new 2019 Redshift EXR dual-sport model for a couple days, we took it in hopes of getting a real ownership-style experience. We’ve been begging Alta for a chance to try a bike in real-world terms for months. Media rides, even ones we’ve reported on here in Cycle News, have been short, and ride time and range have been largely controlled by the company. Honestly, real-world testing of the Alta product line has been almost non-existent. But, is it a viable alternative to existing gas-powered, competition-inspired off-road machinery? Can it pull duty as an urban-transport alternative? Are its range and re-charging cycles capable of delivering a quality experience similar to tried and true gas-burning moto and off-road machines?

It inspires curiosity and instant thoughts of invisible, silent hooliganism. The Alta electric motorcycle is one of the most intriguing platforms to come into the high-performance off-road market in decades. We get a taste of some real-world dual sporting on Alta’s new Redshift EXR ![]()
