Following numerous questions, comments, and opinions, Stark Future would like to offer its take on the recent Press Conference held at VILLA LA ANGOSTURA (Argentina) on 8th March 2024, during the first MXGP event of the season.

Stark Future, a prominent innovator in motocross, firmly opposes MXGP/ Infront’s proposal to introduce a separate Electric Support Class alongside MXGP events. While recognizing the goal of driving technological advancements, Stark Future believes that segregation is not the solution. Instead, seeing integration as an opportunity for all sides to thrive. By embracing new technologies at the highest level of racing, Stark Future envisions making racing more captivating for fans while fostering the strongest technological improvements across the board.

“As CEO and Founder of Stark Future, I firmly believe that segregating electric bikes into a separate class undermines the essence of true competition in motocross. Our mission is to break barriers and showcase the potential of electric technology on equal footing with internal combustion engines, Motocross thrives on innovation and pushing boundaries, and segregation only hinders our collective progress towards a more inclusive and dynamic sport. World Trials have done a great job on including Electric with combustion and have shown that when the platform is competitive it has it´s place amongst combustion counterparts”

With a commitment to pushing the boundaries of motocross performance and innovation, Stark Future firmly believes in true competition and integration, where the fastest machines go head-to-head, driving innovation and pushing the sport to new heights. The vision of Stark Future is to build the fastest motocross bike in the world and demonstrate that Electric is not a compromise but a formidable contender.

Stark Future understands the creation of a separate class for electric bikes, as proposed by MXGP, compromises the essence of competition and risks stifling progress. Instead of fostering innovation, this approach fragments the championship and dilutes the level of competition. Stark Future advocates for the integration of electric bikes into the existing MXGP grid framework, which would promote innovation and benefit the broader motocross community while offering better viewing figures for MXGP programs.

Stark Future recognizes the importance of innovation in the future of motocross. Integrating electric bikes into MXGP would revitalize innovation within the sport and address challenges such as noise pollution, maintenance costs, and accessibility.

In conclusion, Stark Future urges MXGP / Infront to reconsider the proposal for a separate Electric Support Class and explore avenues to seamlessly integrate Electric bikes into MXGP and MX2 grids. Stark Future is ready to embrace this challenge, and invites industry stakeholders to join in promoting innovation and ensuring that motocross continues to thrive for generations to come.

STRiX responds to FIM’s plan for MXGP championship

Ljubljana, March 2024 — STRiX eMotors Ltd., a leading manufacturer of hard-enduro electric motorbikes, has shared its thoughts on the recent news coming from International Motorcycle Federation (FIM) about creating a supportive class called MXEP for motocross bikes with electric drive.

While at STRiX we are focused more on military-grade and hard-enduro electric motorbikes, we are considering what this FIM decision on MXGP field could mean for hard-enduro racing in the near future. Instead of dividing things up, STRiX would like to see more real competition based on new engineering solutions regardless of the drivetrain type.

Historically, while the transition from two-stroke to four-stroke engines brought substantial changes, it did not result in the creation of separate competition classes. Now, we are facing similar situation with electric drives entering MX world, the home yard of MXGP.

At STRiX, we firmly believe in open competition allowing electric motorbikes to compete directly with ICE (Internal Combustion Engine). With shared pool of professional riders, the clash of engineering solutions and innovation would make the competition even more interesting.

Regardless the competition circles, STRiX have the mission to perform with excellence, to serve and bring true enjoyment to its riders and fans.
