    Range on Moab-type slickrock?

    After a few years on my EX, I've got a pretty good handle on my range, and how it changes from tight single track, to open double track to moto tracks. However, I'm finally getting out to Moab for a quick trip this weekend, and I'm curious how the unique terrain is going to affect my range. If...

    Just a reminder about our bikes

    They are great. I haven't been able to ride for a few months, but finally got out on novice moto track this weekend with my EX... and wow, I love this bike! Before my few month hiatus, I had been riding my Alta pretty exclusively, so was much more focused on the fault/flaws that I've been...

    21" knobbies with SM brakes... how bad of an idea is this?

    So I've got myself pretty much sold on picking up the SM currently for sale in Colorado. Going to check it out Saturday. As we can all agree: this is a good idea and I should buy it. However, this would leave me with 2 dirt bikes: my EX and the SM. I would like to be able to bring my wife dirt...

    Ex to sumo conversion

    Hey everyone, Just finished up a somewhat painful supermoto conversion, and thought ya'll might like a peak! The pain was really self induced. I bought some left over SM wheels from liquid performance, and wouldn't you know: they had a great deal on the SM front brake assembly! That thing...

    Fasteners/bolts?

    Does anyone (perhaps part of the ex-faster faster team) know where to get fasteners that match the OEM Hex/Torx combo head and exterior finish? I was dumb and didn't double check my pinch bolt torque after a wheel swap and now my front fork is mismatched and sad.

    Charging at public level 2 charger - actual wiring question

    This topic has been discussed at length in a theoretical sense, but has glossed over some details. Out here in Colorado, there are number of EV chargers near good trail riding, and even more near good supermoto riding. I think it would be great to drive the truck and bike out to a riding spot...

    Faster Faster or Alta shirts/gear

    How stiff can the EX get?

    Hey, So with spring coming up, I'm starting to think about trying my EX out at some tracks. I love my 2 stroke track bike, but it's hard to go back after getting to love the electric response. I know the 4CS forks are not great for serious track riding, and the softer EX springs even less so...

    Snowbike build...?

    So I can't get the idea of an Alta (EX) Snowbike out of my head. Seems like a great application... no clutch to worry about and plenty of torque to spin the track. Range would be super low, but you could throw a 1000-2000W generator on the back of the tunnel (or a giant DIY stack of 18650s... I...

    Any sumo racers out there?

    Has anybody raced an SM (or EX/MX/R with 17's) in a supermoto series? If so, how did it go? Any over-heating issues? Larger front disk? Suspension settings? What class did you race in? Talked to my dealer today and it sounds like Warp9 still has hubs in stock and will sell you wheels if you...

    Tax credits?

    Has anyone tried to apply for 2018 Federal Income Tax Credits for buying an Alta? Looks like Form 8936 isn't up for 2018 yet... About Form 8936 | Internal Revenue Service Anybody get any state credits?

    Owner's Review First EX ride! Lots of good, but also some questions.

    I finally picked up a 2018 EX and got it out on some trails! I'm new to California and live pretty much next to LAX, so it's a long drive to any kind of riding that I can find information on. I ended up in the hills above Santa Barbra (Divide peak OHV) because I wanted a view. First...
