DThree years after introducing the most powerful electric motocross bike ever, Stark Future is once again setting new standards. With the street-legal Stark VARG EX, the Spanish-Swedish manufacturer aims to usher in the electric revolution for enduro riding. According to Stark Future, the VARG EX redefines performance, durability and versatility!
The Stark VARG EX drivetrain delivers an astonishing 80 hp, making it the most powerful enduro bike on the market. Development of the VARG enduro bike was carried out in collaboration with six-time SuperEnduro World Champion Taddy Blazusiak and rising hard enduro star Eddie Karlsson.
Powerful performance, unmatched versatility
Riders can tailor the engine’s performance with options for power delivery, engine braking and the degree of energy regeneration. All these parameters are adjustable via the handlebar-mounted control switch (5 modes available). Whether you want to emulate the agility of a 125cc 450-stroke or the raw power of a XNUMXcc XNUMX-stroke, the VARG EX offers unparalleled adaptability.
The 7,2 kWh magnesium honeycomb battery not only supplies the bike with energy, but also serves as a structural component, contributing to a lightweight and centralized design. The battery provides a 20% longer range compared to the VARG MX and can be fully charged in just two hours using the included charging stand. Its energy efficiency and durability set a new benchmark in the enduro segment.
Revolutionary street legal design
