I found it interesting that Carson Brown, who rides so many different bikes, obviously with rear foot brake, only rides Vargs with the rear handbrake.

Hey, look what I've found 😁 https://mxnews-online.com/en/warum-jorge-zaragozas-stark-varg-eine-doppelte-hinterradbremse-hat/

Great podcast with Seb Tortelli. https://www.vitalmx.com/features/direct-line-podcast-seb-tortelli-stark Stark should be competing in 3 (or maybe 4) FIM world championships in 2026. That obviously includes WSX and Superenduro, I'm guessing the 3rd and possibly 4th might be EnduroGP and Hard...

In 2025 Starks were allowed in Romaniacs for the first time and Eddie Karlsson won the silver class. For 2026, Erzbergrodeo it is!

First of all, I want to congratulate you for what you're doing, building your company, building e-bikes, it's awesome. I try to follow news about electric dirt bikes but that's the first time I hear about your company. You seem to have found a niche market in kids electric bikes which is not...

Thanks, finally saw it! You wanna know why Hicks wasn't bothered by this odd technical rule? He never uses the hand rear brake on his Varg (nor on his Alta)!

Thanks, I can well see the rear brake front lever and master cylinder, as usual. Not sure where I can see the second master cylinder next to the pedal but it must be there for sure. I haven't seen the 2 calipers?

Can you post some pics?

Found 2025 motocross technical regulations version 2 from May 2nd, no mention of electric bikes, no mention of mandatory rear brake pedal. https://www.fim-moto.com/en/documents/view/2025-2-motocross-technical-rules-02052025 So this was only introduced in the latest version, 3 from August 28th...

I remember reading that FIM had either mandated rear foot brake or banned rear handbrake, it was something odd. Zaragoza appears to allude to something like that here He was obviously using left hand rear brake in South Africa, not sure if that was the case for all WSX races. It could be that...

See previous page, for FIM WSX, electrics are surprisingly limited to 73 hp (54 kW) for SX1 and 60 hp (44 kW) for SX2. Presumably to take the extra weight into account. In all other championships, Starks are limited to 60 hp in SX1 (like when Hicks wins in AX UK) and 48 hp in SX2 (like when...

Here are the Equivalence Of Technologies / Balance Of Performances for FIM Superenduro https://www.fim-moto.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Documents/2026/2026_0_SUPERENDURO_ELECTRIC_EOT-BOP_30.11.2025.pdf?t=1765722958 Minimum weight 117 kg (they sure could shed some cells for 7 min enduro races if...

Also, it's on the rider doing the overtaking to make sure it's on the right side of "acceptable", wether you're on a gas or electric bike it's on you. Stark riders are acutely aware of this and so far, after 2 years of racing, they haven't been involved in more sketchy situations than their...

Stark was racing 2 FIM championships last night. It was also Superenduro 1st round, in Poland Eddie Karlsson got his first FIM Superenduro podium with 4/4/3, right behind Billy Bolt and Jonny Walker (now on the Triumph 450).

WSX 2025 is done. Stark fastest riders were Hicks in SX2 and Zaragoza in SX1, here's their results recap SX2: Hicks 7th in the championship 9th (10/9/7) 7th (6/7/7) 9th (8/5/13) 4th (4/3/4) 6th (9/8/4) SX1: Zaragoza 10th in the championship 15th (10/15/14) 8th (9/11/9) 15th (15/13/12) 12th...
