The all-electric Stark Varg will be offered in 60 hp and 80 hp variants. One of the big selling points with the Stark Varg is that it aims to be all things to all off-road riders by way of potentially 100 different throttle maps. Tuned by way of the shockproof smartphone dash, the bike can mimic the behavior of a 125 cc two-stroke right up to a 650 cc four-stroke, and you can make your own tailored throttle map on a computer and send it directly to the Stark Varg via Bluetooth.
Kayaba suspension, Brembo brakes and wheels comprising CNC-machined aluminum hubs and rims are all part of the package. , designers did not have to cope with the restrictions imposed by an airbox, radiator, fuel tank or exhaust system, so the bike is incredibly compact between the frame rails. As mentioned by test rider Sébastien Tortelli, a former World Motocross Champion, getting the ergonomics right was critical. He notes that “the chassis is balanced as well as nimble.
The Stark Varg can mimic the behavior of a 125 cc two-stroke machine right up to a 650 cc four-stroke offering. The model is meant to be a boost for motocross in general, according to Anton Wass, CEO and co-founder of Stark Future. “As motocross riders and fans, we knew that the sport was in a chronic state, and we are losing tracks in Europe every week. It felt like motocross was going backwards while the potential for innovation with electric mobility is going quickly forwards.
Stark Future plans to have both the 60 hp and 80 hp versions on sale in the US, priced at $11,900 and $12,900, respectively. Dealer delivery is scheduled for September of this year.
