    Stark ex or 1.2

    Is that on the main site https://starkfuture.com/ ? When you select EX, MX 1.2 or SM in the upper left hand corner, you don't see the below page to select options and then click the 'Order Now' button to put it in your cart? You may need to have a user ID created to complete the order, but even...

    Stark ex or 1.2

    They do? I know the new SM does, to account for the small front wheel, but thought the mx and ex were the same since same front wheel/tires diameter.

    Stark ex or 1.2

    Saves $900 in MSRP when I do like builds on the Stark website: Both 60hp, adding sidestand to MX, and for both, selecting enduro suspension, 21/18 wheelsets with the same default Metzeler 6 Days Extreme tires. $12,090 for MX1.2 vs $12,990 for EX (not including shipping, setup, etc. Just core...

    Stark ex or 1.2

    Last time I did a test build on their website, it automatically changed the rear wheel size based only on the suspension selected. I just went and did an MX 1.2 build again and they have decoupled suspension and wheel tire selection. Meaning, on an MX 1.2, you can order MX suspension or Enduro...

    Stark ex or 1.2

    Springs and valving are different. Similar to other manufacturers (Yamaha, KTM, Honda, etc.), MX bikes come with the stiffest springs and valving to take big drops. Enduro models come with lighter springs and valving since huge jumps are not the intended purpose. Softer suspension is more...

    Stark ex or 1.2

    When you spec the MX 1.2, if you select Enduro suspension rather than MX, you get the 18" rear wheel rather than the 19" MX wheel. You can see the size flip when you go to select your tire options.

    Stark charging tutorial please

    I agree with that, especially in extreme heat or cold, for longer storage. One risk of going that low is you need to be around to check it every few weeks. Not a lot of drain if bike is fully shut down, but nothing harder on a battery for it to get to a very low state of charge, especially in...

    Power Modes: What do you use?

    I use my MX 1.1 for trial riding in the mountains. Forest service roads, 50" and gnarly single track. I've found I primarily use only two modes. 2 and 3 and often go five or more rides without using any of the other modes. 1. 20hp and Max regen. Use this for loading, or for long, continuous...

    Stark charging tutorial please

    In the Stark app, you can set the battery percentage where you want the charging to stop. You can also set the charger power (watts). I have an MX 1.1 that I use for trail riding in the mountains (50" wide and single track). I typically recharge right away when I get home so it's closer to...

    Displaying GPS/Trail/Mapping app on Stark phone while riding

    @motonov Guessing you are on an EX with Arkenstone phone, which others have reported that turning off "display over other apps" doesn't work, unfortunately. That is one reason I'm sticking with my MX 1.1. I use OnX maps every single time I ride and it is extremely nice that it stays up...

    Post here your Stark Varg issues (or not!)

    Have you reached out to Stark with that info? Asked them to confirm if they are or are not paying dealerships for warranty work? If they are not, maybe ask them what other solution there is for your bike since dealership won't release bike of not paid for labor?

    Stark varg support is the worst

    Interesting. You did get a new pair from Stark, so that was good. They'd made an update so likely you had the original design and they sent you the updated version. I suspect that riding damage would not be covered for those of us with the newer version. And not covering rider damage is...

    Stark Varg ex speed limiter? 83mph

    No reason to use another vehicle to pace you when there are so many apps that display "Speed over ground" via GPS calculation. And, relying on a pacer vehicle, that may have an innaccurate speedometer (especially at faster speeds), just gives you an inaccurate benchmark which is the exact thing...

    Varg MX 1.2

    Yeah, pretty sucky. I built a bike with options for $12,930 and put in my cart. Once in the cart during checkout, it shows the $299 shipping, a titling fee from Ekho (with no way to remove that. I'll do the DMV title myself, thanks) and the $1,000 tariff, the total price becomes $14,269. Same...
