Warp 9 Racing is a relatively young company based in the US.
Both the Redshift MX and Redshift SM use cast and machined Brembo calipers in either a 2 or 4 piston set-up. Founded in 1961, the Italian company produces a range of products that can be found on motorcycles on the street and the trail. is the gold standard for high performance brake systems on motorcycles. WP competes globally at the highest levels of competition and that expertise combined with their willingness to try new things has resulted in both the Redshift MX and SM using WP 4CS suspension built to our own spec as developed by the team here at Alta Motors.īrembo S.P.A. 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. 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 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. The Redshift’s motor weighs 15lbs and puts out 40hp and 36 ft-lbs of torque. 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. 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.Īlta’s water-cooled 14,000 RPM motor is pound for pound one of the most powerful in motorsports. 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. Commute, race, and run errands on the Redshift SM.
Street legal with off-road roots, it’s a potent motorcycle when the city streets are less than ideal. The Redshift SM is a race supermoto without the incessant oil changes and maintenance. Naturally, they started kicking around the possibilities for building their own electric motorcycle- a motorcycle that could be faster and more rideable than their gas bikes.
Two riding buddies, Derek Dorresteyn and Jeff Sand, with a few decades of fabrication, engineering and design expertise between the both of them, fell in love with the idea of the smooth, perfectly responsive torque curve. The first sketches of the Redshift began in San Francisco in 2007. Because we want the next bike we purchase to be faster than our last one. We build electric bikes because we love instant throttle response and flat, endless torque. Our goal is to create motorcycles that are easier to ride fast than anything else out there. And we love finding new ways and new places to go fast. The best ones make you tingle when you look at them, giggle when you ride them, and even scare you just a little bit.
