What do you want to ride next? A 450cc four-stroke beast? A snappy 125cc two-stroke, or something gentler?
The
Stark VARG is the most advanced and versatile motocross bike on the
planet. You can instantly modify your ride mode, adapting and
customizing perfectly to every type of circuit and riding style. On the
Stark VARG’s App you have the capacity to build up to 100 ride modes and
have five of them actively installed on the bike at any time.
Think
you’ll have enough? With 30% more power than a traditional four-stroke
450cc the Stark VARG delivers peak performance of 80hp, via a powertrain
which generates 9hp per kg. The bike also delivers a remarkable 938 Nm
of torque on the rear wheel.
Want instant ride adjustment at the
power of your fingertips? Tweak the exact settings of the power curve,
engine braking, traction control and the patent pending virtual flywheel
in the Stark VARG App: a comprehensive and intuitive tool available in
your display, or through your iOS or Android phone that enables you to
take full control of your bike and your riding.
Great Range
The
Stark VARG offers you a similar range as a 450cc with a full tank of
fuel, but without polluting the environment, with a battery capacity of
6kWh. A complete recharge takes between 1 or 2 hours depending on the
outlet and charger. A fully charged Stark VARG will complete a full MXGP
heat or allow you to enjoy up to 6 hours of easy trail riding.
The
Stark VARG’s cutting-edge ‘flying V’ battery design features a
patent-pending lightweight honeycomb magnesium battery case structure
which connects every cell directly to the casing. The high conductivity
to the fine air-cooled case provides a very consistent and regular
battery temperature which removes unnecessary weight for vapor or water
cooling.
The world's most energy dense battery system. The
honeycomb battery case architecture ensures an extremely strong,
lightweight and compact structure, contributing to the smooth handling
of the VARG.
You have the freedom to ride anywhere, at any time,
with the peaceful near-silence of the Stark VARG helping you to connect
with nature and enjoy your surroundings whilst riding in areas you never
imagined before.
Incredible Handling
At
110kg / 242 lbs fully charged, the Stark VARG is lightweight. An
important benefit of our electric powertrain is that it has a fraction
of the inertia of a gas motor, providing you with a featherweight riding
sensation.
By using the motor case as a structural component,
we’ve been able to develop a frame that is almost 50% lighter than the
competitors, still maintaining the same or higher strength properties
and optimized flex characteristics.
The carbon fiber sleeve
electric motor generates a fraction of the inertia compared to a four or
even two-stroke. This provides a unique lightness, agility and
handling.
Benchmarking to be the best: We carefully tested and
analyzed the current and best-performing motocross bikes. This
methodology empowered us to craft an even better chassis that provides
the ideal amount of vertical, lateral, and torsional flex to enable a
stable, predictable and comfortable ride.
Kayaba Suspension:
Through a partnership with Kayaba and Technical Touch, the Stark VARG’s
suspension has been developed with 310mm of travel both for the front
forks and rear suspension. The standard linkage progression curve is
optimized for comfort and stability whilst maximizing traction. There
are seven different stock settings for riders within a 5 kg weight
difference meaning that you choose the suspension adapted to suit your
weight and riding style.
Easy Ownership
The
Stark VARG’s near-silent motor means you can ride anywhere, anytime,
allowing you to reinvent the possibilities of off-road riding in places
you’d never previously imagined.
Better for the environment and
easier to maintain: With zero emissions and no filters to change the
Stark VARG requires a very simple level of maintenance. It’s as easy to
take care of as a bicycle.
Cheaper to own & less time wasted: No fuel, less spare parts, less time wasted maintaining your bike, more time to ride.
All
spare parts will be available to order online with global delivery
before you receive your bike, and Stark Future are currently creating
easy to follow video manuals of all the standard maintenance steps.
TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
Carbon Fiber Sleeve Motor & Inverter
The
Stark VARG houses the most potent power-to-weight motor of any
production motocross bike. Developed and made in Europe, our carbon
fiber sleeve motor runs on 360 nominal voltage, churning out 80hp and
9hp per kilogram. It also delivers an incredible 275 Nm of torque on the
counter shaft and 938 Nm on the rear wheel. It is designed and
optimized to use more than 95% efficiency over the majority of the power
range and benefits from a water-cooled aluminum casing that works as a
structural part of the chassis. The inverter is also integrated into the
motor case in order to reduce mass and simplify the cooling process.

accomplishing a full heat in MXGP, or over 6 hours of trail riding.
• Full re-charge in 1-2 hours depending on the charger and outlet.
Chassis
In
development we carefully tested and analyzed the current
best-performing motocross bikes. This methodology empowered us to craft a
chassis that provides the ideal amount of vertical, lateral, and
torsional flex in order to enable a predictable, stable, and comfortable
ride. The Stark VARG features a low and optimized center of gravity
very close to the riders lower leg position. By having the center of
gravity closer to you the actual weight will feel much lighter.
The
optimized weight distribution provides agility and a featherweight
riding sensation. Ideas and experience from our engineers and designers
as well as input from respected motorcycle designer Tony Foale allowed
the team to produce the ultralight tubular chromoly steel structure.
Maintaining the best flex and strength properties, the Stark VARG has
the world's lightest motocross frame: less than 6 kg on the scales.
Features:
• Stark VARG has the world’s lightest motocross frame.
•
The aluminum subframe uses straight tubular pipes and forged
connections for the best compromise between weight, strength and
resistance.
• Integrated forged and machined lift handles, to
reinforce the construction and provide a very comfortable and practical
handle for lifting and positioning the bike.
• Mid-mount linkage bracket on the swingarm permits a boost of 60mm ground clearance compared to competitors.
• Advanced aluminum manufacturing for the swingarm means even more weight savings compared to competitors.
•
Carbon fiber front subframe to contain the front spoiler assembly and
seat unit, streamlining ergonomics without unnecessary or unwanted flex.
This also serves as a funnel to direct airflow to the battery, motor
and radiator located under the seat.
• 7075 T6 forged and CNC
machined aluminum triple clamps with a superb weight-to-strength ratio
and optimized flex characteristics.
Suspension
Benefiting
from a partnership with Kayaba and Technical Touch, the Stark VARG’s
suspension has been developed with 310mm of travel both for the front
forks and the rear suspension. The linkage progression curve is
optimized for comfort and stability whilst improving traction. There are
7 different stock settings for riders within a 5 kg weight margin,
meaning that you choose the suspension adapted to suit your weight and
ability, and we deliver a bike best adapted for your riding style and
weight. The recommended suspension setting based on your weight assumes
you are an average rider on a motocross track. If you are a very fast
rider, choose one step higher. If you ride Enduro / Offroad we recommend
you choose one step lower. The VARG’s specific linkage mount, also
gives the rider an incredible 60mm additional ground clearance.
Features:
• KAYABA and Technical Touch, closed cartridge 310mm travel front forks with an AOS damping system.
• Light Kashima coated outer-tubes and niCr coated inner-tubes for minimized friction and maximum wear resistance.
• The 50mm rear shock with 16mm niCr coated rod for the same low-friction efficiency and high durability.

Industry Leading Brakes
Leading
brakes manufacturer Galfer provide 260mm and 220mm front and rear discs
with pressure applied by a Brembo hydraulic system.
Chain & Sprockets
The
RK MXU UW-ring Gold 520 chain is extremely strong, narrow, light and
with the highest tensile strength on the market. A popular choice for
teams in both MXGP and FIM Hard Enduro championships. Same sealing
solution is also used in the Moto3™ category of MotoGP™, the
construction permits 5% less friction compared to a non-ring chain and
therefore longer range and higher performance. Optimized rubber rings
reduce chain vibration and remove plate friction.
The rear
sprocket is machined from German 7075 T6 aluminum for the highest wear
resistance in the product range. The front sprocket is forged from
hardened steel for a similar lifespan.
Handlebar & grips
7075 T6 aluminum handlebar with 28.6mm diameter, comes with soft compound rubber grips.
Charger
The
Stark VARG’s charger is included in the price of the motorcycle. It is
delivered with a plug that fits in your normal power socket. For certain
markets we include an adapter. It delivers 3.3 kW of charging power and
will charge the bike to full battery in less than 2 hours.
Chain Adjuster & Rear Axle
The
Stark VARG’s rear axle and swing arm boasts two incredible features.
Firstly, an advanced chain adjuster for accurate and precision chain
adjustment. The swingarm has an integrated system which incorporates a
spring and shaft, every 90 degrees rotation you will hear a click and
from the rear of the bike, using a screwdriver with a hex you can
instantly and easily turn the same number of clicks on each side and
perfectly align your wheel with optimal chain tension.
Clearly
steering away from the traditional way on how things are done we decided
to step it up another notch with a flush, much cleaner, integrated rear
axle that avoids having a protruding 15mm nut and bolt, that can
potentially catch on ruts, dirt or rocks and impact your riding
experience and handling.
• Clicking chain adjuster enables hassle free chain adjustment. You no longer need to use two wrenches, simply one hex.
• Flush rear axle nut reduces risk of getting caught in ruts.
Revolutionary skid plate
Revolutionary
light skid plate featuring a low-density foam for high impact
absorption. The skid plate acts as a shield for the powertrain whilst
also helping to protect the rider.
When casing a jump the impact
absorption foam drastically reduces the impact on the rider’s ankles
over a traditional frame, as the foam will absorb the impact while the
traditional frame stays stiff.
The patent-pending ‘floating’ skid plate also enables vast weight savings by removing the need for a lower frame.
Pirelli MX32 Tires
MXGP World Championship winning tires: Pirelli Scorpion MX32. With 110/90-19 on the rear and 80/100-21 on the front wheel.
World's lightest foot pegs
The
foot pegs have been casted and machined from a special stainless steel:
a rust-free material that has 40% higher yield strength than titanium
or chromoly steel. This has enabled us to produce a foot peg that is
lighter than the titanium units currently used in the market and in
racing, whilst being 20% stronger than the market OEM references. The
foot peg design is a fine example of how we challenge the industry and
improve the riding experience.
