Once all the bugs where sorted out. I think the stark is the best practice bike i could have. It is probably the worlds best and fastest trail bike.

I raced cc mtb had a downhill bike love it all including skate park bike and road cycling (criteriums mainly) running swimming rock and mountain climbing are fun too So is drag racing a street bike I did have a habit of snapping bicycles coming from a mx background Once i smoothed it out a bit...

I do not watch shit on the net all hype no reality . Thats how i ended up with a bike that was touted as blowing away 450 mx bikes But when i got it turns out its a heavy slow piece of unreliable shit i shouldn't have bothered with. stark mx1

The 1.0 did not cut it to be honest I am not knocking the bike but it had a lot of problems The list is too long so i will not bore you with that. Has anyone been able to do some serious testing on this bike 1.2 mx ie run it pretty much by yourself in a outdoor mx event as in practice...

Thanks for reminding me too and theres nothing like eye candy when you are shopping https://www.mxstore.com.au/p/Airoh-Strycker-Brave-Gloss-Grey-Helmet/HASTR103-c

I like the stock ido grips even kept them when i changed bars I think grips r more a personnel choice

I mostly just buy mid priced helmets and turn them over at least every 2 years . Most expensive helmets your just paying for the fancy paint job. I buy a new helmet at the beginning of every season use the old one for practise and yes I make sure they are current (not old stock) and meet race...

I am thinking maybe a 2 speed Would be the way to go

I am slower on the stark And it’s not just me the stark is just slower than a well ridden 450 I thought it was actually faster until I did some back to back testing(it feels fast) The results left me dumbfounded The 450 embarrassed the stark with its lap times

The bikes are too heavy and slow It will take the next generation of electric bikes to be competitive The current world super cross events Are a good r and d exercise but little else The current platforms available do not cut it Anybody that thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.

There a good Practise bike jump on I do a lot of skills work now on mine

I found the 15 and even the 14 I didn’t have enough wheel speed in slower corners and it unloaded the rear easier coming out Needs a few fixes mainly too much weight transfer well just too much weight

I prefer a chain without the joining link I carry a breaker and like some chain too off-road overkill’s

Nice fe501 I have one of each a mx1 enjoy it is good fun for sur

The chinese should just make a copy of the whole bike im sure it would work better.
