Stark Future announced today the highly anticipated Stark VARG EX. This revolutionary motorcycle is set to transform the world of Enduro racing. Three years after its game-changing motocross model, the Stark VARG MX, the company takes a daring step forward with its first street-legal bike. This powerful electric vehicle sets new standards for performance, sustainability, and adaptability.

With a powerful 80hp drivetrain, the Stark VARG EX stands out as the strongest Enduro bike currently available. Riders have the ability to personalize the bike’s performance by choosing from different power delivery, engine braking, and regenerative settings, all accessible through the handlebar control switch (with 5 modes to choose from). Whether you want the agility of a 125cc two-stroke or the raw force of a 450cc four-stroke, the VARG EX provides unmatched versatility.

The honeycomb magnesium battery, with a capacity of 7.2 kWh, not only provides the necessary energy for the bike but also serves as a structural element, contributing to a lightweight and well-balanced design. This battery offers a 20% increase in range compared to the previous VARG MX model and can be fully recharged in just two hours using the charging stand included in the package. Its impressive efficiency and resilience set a new standard in Enduro engineering.

Whether connecting trails, commuting to work, or simply exploring, the VARG EX redefines convenience and accessibility.

Key road-ready features include:

• Patent-pending flexible indicators crafted from durable optical silicone for superior longevity.
• A 4,000-lumen headlamp, three times brighter than any competitor, providing exceptional visibility for night rides.
• An integrated license plate holder that combines durability with aesthetic precision.

The body of the VARG EX is crafted with precision from durable high-strength steel, providing maximum flexibility for excellent control while taking corners. The subframe, made of lightweight carbon-fiber, also functions as a cooling system for the drivetrain. With its KYB-tuned suspension, this bike offers perfect balance and versatility for all types of riding conditions, whether it be traditional Enduro or more extreme environments.

Key engineering highlights include:

• A patented skid plate reinforced with impact-absorbing foam, offering unparalleled durability.
• A chain guide with 266% increased lateral stiffness for unmatched reliability.
• KYB suspension: Closed cartridge forks and triple-adjustable shocks tuned specifically for Enduro, offering 300mm of travel.
• CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminum hubs, Italian-crafted high- grade steel spokes, and Japanese alloy rims for customizable wheel configurations, including tube or mousse options.

The VARG EX features the revolutionary Stark Arkenstone—a cutting-edge, military-grade Android device integrated into the bike. This navigation and control system allows riders to:

• GPS trail recording and turn-by-turn navigation developed with a leading map provider.
• On-the-go adjustment of power, engine braking, and regeneration settings.
• Community sharing options to upload and follow rider trails.

The VARG EX boasts a revamped map switch, complete with an aluminum housing that is both water-resistant and resistant to impact damage. The internal routing of cables adds an extra layer of protection against wear and tear. These innovative features guarantee an intuitive, personalized, and enjoyable ride for all riders, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just beginning your Enduro journey.

With the VARG EX, Stark Future is establishing its dedication to sustainability. This motorcycle boasts an electric drivetrain that eliminates the need for traditional components such as pistons, clutches, and oil changes. As a result, maintenance costs are comparable to those of a mountain bike. Not only is this bike noise-free and emissions-free, but it’s also environmentally friendly. With a two-year warranty, the VARG EX sets a new standard for quality, reliability, and cost efficiency in the motorcycle industry.

“The VARG EX embodies everything we stand for at Stark Future,” said Anton Wass, CEO and Founder of Stark Future. “It’s designed to challenge and inspire the motorcycle industry to embrace sustainability by proving that electric technology can outperform gas in every aspect. With the VARG EX, we’re creating a bike that opens up new possibilities for riders, whether it’s conquering trails, commuting through the city, or simply riding anywhere, anytime.
