Have the EX for a week now, after owning the Zero FX for the past 2.5 years (off road only).
First impressions are all positive. The Alta is a high end quality machine, right down to the bolts & plastics. Really impressed with the machine. If I have to think of something to improve, its the lights. Was expecting leds in this high end machine.
Riding it is very smooth. Sitting position is high (especially compared to the FX). I love it (I'm tall). For shorter riders, it can be a bit problematic.
I mostly use map 2 which is plenty for enduro type riding. It has more power than the FX at that power level, and the Zero os not weak by all means. Pegs position and handlebar are right where I want them, no adjustments needed.
Replaced the stock tires with the Pirelli MT43 which are my favorites (trial tires characteristics).
I ride mostly rocky type terrain (enduro) and the bike is amazing. The suspension swallows everything with ease. Places where I had to recalculate my line, I can just pop over now.
One hour and 15 minutes of mostly technical ride, resulted in 70% battery capacity left.
Only thing missing is a left hand brake, but it is in the works to my understanding.
Almost crashed into a cow that did not hear me coming, but managed to avoid it (thanks Brembo [emoji846]).
I will publish a more comprehensive review when I get more ride time, and will compare the Redshift to the FX (dual sport machine).
Love this bike so far! Very pleased with the support I get from Alta (in this forum). Zero was lacking in that department. Extremely important for me as a customer.
