![]() WP competes globally at the highest levels of competition and that expertise combined with their willingness to try new things has resulted in the Redshift using WP 4CS suspension built to our own spec as developed by the team here at Alta Motors. WP is the largest motorcycle suspension producer in Europe, and we chose their product for the Redshift due to their technical prowess and ease of tuning. We’re proud to partner with them on the production of our Redshift plastics and subframe in an effort to create the vision of Alta Motors and the future of fast. Since 1973 Acerbis has been producing high quality plastic bodywork and the company has worked with everyone from legends like Preston Petty to OEM manufacturers such as Yamaha. All of this integration is coordinated with very specific strength, weight, and stiffness goals to produce the right ride and compliance characteristics at all lean angles, and under impact. Additionally, it is the main structural hub, connecting to the rear suspension, the airframe, the forged monocoque chassis, and the trellis skidframe. The Redshift Bulkhead-the chassis core-functions as the outer motor casing, the cooling circuit for the motor and inverter, as well as the transmission case for the gear reduction. The Redshift’s motor weighs 15lbs and puts out 40hp and 36 ft-lbs of torque. The unit pushes power through a 3.5:1 gear reduction to deliver a 122 ft-lbs of torque at the counter shaft from a dead stop and 0 RPM. ![]() This placement allows for the lowest polar moment of inertia in motorcycling – drastically minimizing any gyroscopic impediment to handling. It is optimized to the narrow width of the Redshift’s bulkhead and is precisely located at the roll center of the bike. THE MOTORĪlta’s water-cooled 14,000 RPM motor is pound for pound one of the most powerful in motorsports. Our stacked honeycomb architecture allows for extreme energy density at 185 watt hours per kilogram, combined with a unique thermal wicking system to shed heat faster than any other lithium-ion transportation battery in production. The Alta Pack is waterproof rated up to IP67, is durable enough to handle shocks and vibes up to 20G, and is digitally self-monitoring. Mile for mile, there is no smaller, more compact, energy dense battery pack in transportation. The combination of low weight and lightning fast acceleration make for a potent street-legal motorcycle that gives you all the tools necessary to experience the offroad world in the purest manner possible. Built with the DNA of a motocross bike, our Redshift EX eliminates the incessant oil changes and maintenance intervals of its high-strung competitors, and still slays on the trail. The 2018 Redshift EX is the ideal ratio of motocross speed, singletrack prowess, and urban capability.
