Only $10 for all 2024 SX, MX, and SMX series (regularly $30).
The only downside is that the Alta, as it currently is built, cannot last more than 45min-1hr worth of actual ride time on a motocross track before needing recharging. But it's not really a downside because 90% of the motocross community can't even spin longer than a 20 minute moto without being exhausted. Also, most local series races only have 10-15 minute motos anyway. I've raced 2 classes / 4 motos in a race day before with recharging in between motos and never even came close to running out of battery.
It has power characteristics that 4 strokes are striving for with even more mechanical simplicity than a 2 stroke. How can you not appreciate that?
One of my favorite part on a MX bike has always beeen the pipe, from 2 stroke factory cone ones to those titanium Akra beauties... Always loved both their looks and their singing!
No pipe, no "Braaaaaaaaaaap", an awfully annoying whistling noise (and let's not mention no gears, no clutch, no off-road range, a whale weight and silly price), I absolutely hate these stupid kitchen robots on wheels.
And I'm glad they're gone for now.

It's ugly as s**t.
"No pipe, no "Braaaaaaaaaaap"..."
Just put one of these on it and problem solved!
I have a better solution: getting rid of electric MX bikes.
Oh, wait, it's already done.
The concept of electric bikes will however live on. It's the future.

It just means they have more skills than the guys riding the full size bikes. In this case you had more skills than the riders you passed. The outcome would've been the same had you been on a 125, 250 or 450.
Could you go faster on a 450? Without a doubt as long as your skills are on par with the powerplant. For most people their lap times would be similar no matter what bike they're on.
Is the Alta a capable bike? In the right hands, yes, but the same can be said for an 85/supermini.

And it has WP suspension.
How often do you have to change the oil?
How often do you have to adjust the valves?
How often do you have to install a new piston?
How hard is it to modulate the clutch?
Is it hard to shift?
Do you ever miss a shift?
Is it ever hard to start?

I enjoyed shifting gears and working on my bikes.
Some people prefer driving automatics and some prefer driving stick. Doesn't mean either or is a bad choice, it just means different people like different things.
Personally, the Alta's are boring for me. Twist and go, no clutch, no gears, no sound, etc. is just not appealing.
To each their own.
