    Media Review Ken Roczen Flies on the Stark Varg

    Why do you suppose Kenny thinks the Varg won't be allowed to compete head-to-head with current pro level equipment ? Did he elaborate on that in any way ?

    First Customer Bikes are shipping!

    And the plan is to ship direct & have the customer presumably assemble things ? Guessing any battery has to be disconnected for shipping. Fully half the guys I know from riding aren't qualified to hold a screwdriver. " Thank you for the purchase of your new Stark Varg & please note that should...

    Good stuff , Alta = holeshot machine ! Great ride & result. Guessing the Varg will be a whole new level .. although it's always a fitness test in the end. Have you been made aware of delivery date yet ?

    Varg spring rates ?

    It does give one pause as to whether the stated rates still apply @ 118kg / 260 lbs ? :unsure:

    Not all that surprising given the type of terrain illustrated in that video ; pretty high speed with little in the way of technical terrain. The vid below is fairly typical of average single track here in the mid-west, would be most interested to understand what a 260 pound Alta or Stark Varg...

    Bryan, please do try & ride some fairly tight & sorta difficult single track if possible & report, many would be very interested in your overall impressions. Much of my own ( & others ? ) decision to pre-order a Varg was based on the purported gross weight of 242 lbs. That sort of weight is...

    A few thoughts come to mind as I ponder what my '17 KTM 250xcw would feel like with a 5.3 gallon gas tank filled to the brim ... There was a fellow, some will recognize the name ; Colin Chapman. Chapman was the madcap leader, Inventor & captian of Lotus formula one, winner of seven world...

    Yeah sure, but .. it's 12K to try it ! Hoping that there are at least a few current 2 stroke single track riders receiving bikes shortly to give even a basic impression on how Varg compares for single track terrain. What are the basics on the weight distribution differences ...

    Yeah, I'm a lot less enthused @ 260 , thats for sure. 242 was a no-brainer. My usage is technical single track, 260 is a lot to have to slow down & to maneuver constantly over uneven terrain. Delivery isn't till August .. so I guess there may be some real world opinions regarding the bikes...

    260 LBS ?!! How do you know this to be the case ? That kind of gross weight would likely be a deal breaker .. perhaps for a lot of folks. .

    Not planning on having both operational simultaneously ? I don't trust several decades of ingrained muscle memory in a panic situation so gonna see if I can train to the LHRB while still having the pedal working.

    I friend that uses a LHRB tells me ; "surgeons typically don't use their feet" .

    Yeah, no sh#t. That thing sounds diabolical, I want no part of that.

    Owner's Review Stark Varg - First Customer Review!

    Yeah, I'd like to know the piston size. The larger fluid capacity is so there's enough fluid in the system to compensate as the pads wear down. I would suppose Stark would have that as a part that could be purchased ? What type of adapter is needed on the rear Brembo system to have both...

    Owner's Review Stark Varg - First Customer Review!

    That's my plan to try & train myself to the LHRB while still leaving the foot brake operational. Can anyone identify the manufacturer of the master cylinder Stark is using on the left side ? I already have a spare Brembo left side hydraulic clutch master, but those clutch masters don't hold...

    Owner's Review Stark Varg - First Customer Review!

    Thanks for taking the time to compile all that - being customer #1 is like having a part time job ! Bike looks to be very well engineered. The only thing I can see that raises an eyebrow is the rather small size of the torx fitting to tighten the rear axle, guess they've got it figured out but...

    Table Tennis Serve Rule

    Personally, I distrust both gravity & geometry .. as such, I have no strongly held opinions on this particular topic. I can say this though ; Table tennis, regardless of serve technique, gets exponentially more enjoyable as several well mixed manhattans are consumed. Here's the recipe ; 2...
