Motorcycle specifications Stark FutureVarg 2022 Forestation and electrons

the Stark VARG is an electric motorcycle set to become the performance leader in its class. This new model will reorient the industry with patent-pending technology and design features to guide both amateur and professional riders towards sustainability. To surpass conventional technology, the Stark VARG was developed from scratch by tuning the powertrain and chassis to work in perfect harmony, optimizing every component. Physical proof that an electric motocross bike can outperform its thermal counterparts in every respect?

what makes the Stark VARG (Swedish for "strong wolf") different?

- Several bikes "in one", with customizable settings to go from the character of a 125cc two-stroke to a 650cc four-stroke,

- Innovative engine, cooling and battery architecture for unrivalled performance,

- A high-performance powertrain developing 80 hp and 9 hp per kilogram. This means the Stark VARG is the fastest motocross bike on the market,

- An ultra-compact, lightweight chassis using high-quality materials such as carbon fiber, magnesium and aircraft-grade aluminum,

- Smartphone-style instrument panel and bike setup app,

- Fairings that prioritize ergonomics, comfort and performance,

- Suspension direct from KAYABA,

- A philosophy: to be able to ride anywhere, anytime, thanks to low maintenance, zero emissions and non-existent noise.

no detail has been overlooked, and no compromises have been made. The Stark VARG has been in development since 2019, and every component has been carefully examined and compared for optimum performance and potential. In addition to raw numbers and exceptional handling, the Stark VARG achieves our ecological goals thanks to its fast charging time and unbeatable durability (a full "bike" with the power of a Grand Prix machine or up to 5 hours of riding with 1-2 hours of recharging) and the absence of emissions and noise. The Stark VARG is also incredibly versatile. Thanks to the superb Stark Future app - installed on the smartphone/dashboard held in place by a robust new device - the bike's power curve, engine braking, traction control and flywheel can be set in seconds, and over 100 "modes" can be programmed.

the silent heart of the Stark VARG is the engine, with 80 hp - 30% more than any 450cc - and enormous torque. The drivetrain is surrounded by the battery system developed by Stark Future; one of the most compact and energy-dense in the world, with a capacity of 6 kWh and weighing less than 32 kg. The brand developed the powertrain on the basis of advanced technologies and ideas such as a patent-pending magnesium honeycomb housing, "slippery fingers" cell holders, a decompression system and a single-sided power board that manages the battery cells.

the Stark VARG's flying V system connects each cell directly to the rugged, waterproof case. This brings high conductivity to the air-cooled structure. The result is a uniform, even battery temperature that eliminates the unnecessary weight associated with liquid or vapor cooling. Range on a full charge is similar to a 450cc on a full tank.

the Stark VARG's low weight also contributes to its manoeuvrability. Weighing just 110 kg, the bike offers a better power-to-weight ratio than any other model on the market. The chassis architecture uses the engine as a structural component, giving Stark Future the lightest motocross chassis in the world, and the composition of this (and the carbon sub-section) is a clever blend of lateral and vertical flex, torsion and a lower center of gravity to optimize the Stark VARG's handling on the track. The bike sticks to the ground and turns like no other, and the rider's sensations are aided by the slim, sporty ergonomics (goodbye airboxes, radiators and tanks). The redesigned guards also help reduce weight. Japanese suspension experts KAYABA and Technical Touch need no introduction, and the 310 mm travel can be adjusted using seven different settings to suit rider height and weight.

take a good look at the Stark VARG, and you'll be impressed by details such as the innovative protective housing and the smartphone that acts as a dashboard and allows you to choose different configurations. What about the patent-pending super-strong "floating" dual-density skid plate that eliminates the need for a lower section on the chassis and offers ultimate protection? Or the CAD T6 aluminum wheels with CNC-machined hubs (the same material as the rims), spokes made in Italy from high-quality steel and Pirelli MX32 tires? There's also the innovative "click" chain adjustment system (eliminating the need to measure) and the axle and bolt for even more effective profiling and protection. Even the footrests on the Stark VARG are special: they're cast from a stainless steel alloy 40% stronger than titanium or chromoly steel, and are lighter than any other footrest on other production motocross bikes. The installation process is equally straightforward, as we've eliminated the need for a locking pin.

The Stark VARG is priced at €11,900. The bike can be ordered from the Stark Future website or from selected dealers in its network
