    Stark Future NEXT NEW UPDATES

    The Ultra Bee is a great choice especially if you are focused on trail riding. The Stark Varg -- depending on how you use it -- is more oriented toward riders focused on MX, Enduro, and Hard Enduro and it competes pretty well with KTM's offerings and price/feature ranges. The Ultra Bee is...

    Stark Future NEXT NEW UPDATES

    I wouldn't hold my breath on that. It goes against 100 years of Harvard Business School logic and probably back at least to Egyptian markets well before BC... :ROFLMAO:

    Other Bikes Trailblaze Omega

    Cool. I don't think WP even have it wrung out completely yet. I think you probably made the right choice. Let us know how it works out for you.

    Other Bikes Trailblaze Omega

    Generally, I wouldn't say PDS is better for technical or HE riding. I own a relatively new KTM 300 2T PDS and there are both benefits and drawbacks to PDS. The benefits are ground clearance and sometimes lower seat heights and excellent stability in most riding cases. If your bike is similar in...

    Bonnell 40hp and 60hp dirt bikes and e-bikes

    You could maybe use regen in reverse after that mid-climb stall 😁

    Bonnell 40hp and 60hp dirt bikes and e-bikes

    Ya it mostly strikes me that the addition of the clutch is mostly to satisfy habit and concern rather than function on E bikes. And I have to admit, I myself thought I was sacrificing something when I got my first E bike (which was a Stark) and didn't have a clutch. The first time I rode an E...

    Bonnell 40hp and 60hp dirt bikes and e-bikes

    Oh I see. Most of the moto and HE riders I ride with use the clutch to modulate power.

    Bonnell 40hp and 60hp dirt bikes and e-bikes

    It reminds me of an old school compression release lever and my hunch is it operates with similar effect. At least it doesn't seem like something you could easily feather/modulate like an ICE clutch.

    Service your linkage and swingarm bearings asap

    I followed the directions in the Stark video, I had forgotten about your post. I cleaned everything pretty well and had no real problems with the reverse nut. One small issue I had servicing the suspension was accessing the pullrod nut with a socket on the torque ratchet. To get the proper...

    New VARG Software Update.

    Stark must have hired some Microsoft guys to handle the "feature" of forced restart on upgrade... :ROFLMAO:

    My range is **** from what I'm seeing

    @AL_V has an MX1 ircc. I weigh less and am probably a lot smaller than you but I don't really ride for miles. I can easily get 4+ hours on my MX1 but I am mostly always in the gnarl. Hard hills and deep greasy mud eat the battery for me. :ricky:

    Stark Battery Tech Thread

    Agreed. Stark is not a great software company. Concept, proto, and initial production they are excellent and having all the right ideas is their sweet spot. I love the products but long term production can't rely on early adopters, concept/ideas, and DIYers to sustain a modern business. We...
