Lighthearted fun just like it should!
But now they are comparing a stock bike to a fully setup and finetuned Competition bike. What if that Stark got the same treatment. Get that suspension 100% perfect for those guys and the gap will be huge.
Welcome here as well!
The advertisement is often the issue when engineers do what they do best, but seems you're on rising side!
As for Youtubers on your bikes. If you end up with a demo bike within a 100km of me i would love to cover it ;)
In the Netherlands you don't have a real reach, the...
App is working again on my MX1.0.
What @OpaTsupa says would be great. I would love a wired connection that just works. On a Hard Enduro day my screen freezes about 3-10 times a day.
I agree. And that could be be very crude if needed to keep it cheap. Just stacking 2 gears and a simple mechanism wouldn't widen the bike a lott nor add serious costs. A "quickshifter" doesn't need a clutch and quickshifting something as smooth as a E motor is easy to program.
And well i guess...
I am faster on the Stark than the Beta RR 300 Racing yes
On a local sand MX track i'm at roughly 2:30 with the Stark wich is about 5-10 seconds faster.
On a Local hardpack i did 1:54 on 42hp and 1:57 on 16hp. While it took me 2:00 on my Girffriends Beta RR 200.
In Cross Country 2hrs endurance...
In the Netherlands there are 50 Starks in total with a licence plate (so sold to consumers). That are all EX's. MX's are not streetlegal so not in this data.
Edit: This year 214 KTM EXC's, 57 Beta's, 21 Sherco's, 13 Rieju's.
The other brands had no good info due to lack of findeable tradenames...
Very cool!
I was actually shocked by how much advantage i had from the E drivetrain when i took the Stark MX on SM around Pottendijk karting track. Sure we all knew how fast it would be out of the corner onto the straight. But the biggest gain is actually IN the corners. The overal smoothness...
Welcome @Andreas Keim !
I had some email contact with Nina since i was curious to your brand. Honestly i was expecting the typical China dropshipping answer, turned out i was very wrong!
Even ended up with an invitation to your factory. Wich is 7 hours away but i just might combine it with some...
Agreed.
In the Stark i knew before buying: Suspension, brakes, sprockets and wheels all from big suppliers used by big OEM's. The founder had deep pockets and big connections, combined with experience growing businesses.
All the above is very reassuring.
If i would be in the market for a HVR...
Sorry for your bike.
But this does proof it's not a wonder bike. There have been claims of MX OEM's bringing out too heavy bikes and that Surron is proof it can be way lighter. I often tend to disagree and so does your bike ;)
For the simple fact i've been riding for quite some time and have been bashing mopeds in 3-8 hours MX competitions, did abuse Chinese dirtbikes etc etc. Never have i seen suspension fail on impact (other than the brick cheap €500 pitbikes). I still have my moped wich was insanely abused for MX...
