    New ALTA Alternative -Stark VARG - From Europe

    I know, 80 hp, whaaat?! Gear that thing down and get on down to Bonneville. And your nearest hillclimb competition. I did hear in one of the vids that the purpose of the high hp motor is not necessarily to have crazy amounts of hp/torque, but rather to allow the motor to run in its most...

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    My thoughts exactly. With having Tortelli onboard, Hill, and a few of the other players involved, these guys are the real deal. If anyone besides one of the major OEM's can pull this off, its these guys. Time will tell though, 2022 is going to be interesting! Ps: Did I mangle the grammar on...

    What makes you think that?

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    Josh Hill mentions the factory guys can swap the battery out in "10-20 mins" around the 20:30 mark of this vid. Besides the expense of another battery pack with its spendy magnesium cover design, it doesn't sound like the battery pack is designed for an easy or quick swap. The rest of this...

    New ALTA Alternative -Stark VARG - From Europe

    It certainly would make sense that they would want to collect as much data as they can on everything they can, will help improve the product in the long term. And yes, the ability to sell the data (its randomized!) is a side benefit. Unfortunately, the data collection can come back to bite the...

    New ALTA Alternative -Stark VARG - From Europe

    That Swedish dude sure did have the Jobs vibe going, all turtle necky, hands bringing the ends of the fingers together (who talks like that? Lol), the accent. Sounds so high techie, so convincing. So brainwashy. And just a touch creepy. I do love the bike though, Lol.

    New ALTA Alternative -Stark VARG - From Europe

    That's all well and good, but it should be described up front that way. From the promo video it sounds like all of these killer features come standard on the bike. Perhaps I was not listening closely enough (which is annoying in itself that I have to listen like a lawyer to make sure I don't get...

    New ALTA Alternative -Stark VARG - From Europe

    "Premium" features. Pay to play subscription. Another bummer that is not clearly described in all the hype. I'm not a fan of subscription services, would prefer to pay one and done. From the order page under "Stark VARG display, phone & app"...

    New ALTA Alternative -Stark VARG - From Europe

    Well that completely sucks. Do you have a link to those statements? I couldn't find them on the Stark website. Sounds like the Tesla model, where not only are they collecting technical data on the state of the vehicle, but recording audio and video of the vehicle occupants, most who do not...

    Withdrawn 2018 MXR 16k

    Disagree for motocross and SX, the electric dirt bike power is so easy to control, so precise, instant response, exact same response every time, so much torque. No jetting/power issues with humidity, temp, elevation, etc. I've never read or heard of Josh Hill or any other top MX/SX rider who has...

    Stark VARG suspension choices

    You should order the springs for your current weight, you want to be able to set the suspension sag to be set for your weight. Too light of springs and you won't be able to set proper sag. Control compression (firmness) and rebound with the clickers. KYB suspension is amazing right out of the...

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    25 lbs lighter then my MXR! Reportedly greater range. Fully programmable power, torque, regen. KYB suspension with option for rider weight springs! Ordered one yesterday. 18" rear wheel, 80 hp, LHRB, 210 lb spring rates. Can't wait to get it.

    OX-Hydra brake LHRB

    I'll be unwrapping my Ox LHRB for Christmas, looking forward to trying to trying it out on the MXR. I have a cobbled together LHRB on it now, retained the rear brake, but its not as firm at the lever as I would like. Hoping the Ox is better, I like the simple design. Let us know how you like...

    Solar wings on an airplane: Scrappy

    Damn, the amount of drag those bikes are generating. I guess it doesn't really matter with the relatively slow speeds he's flying, but still. And no doubt, this guy is the man. I wish he was my neighbor, or I had a neighbor like him, Lol.

    Are my days numbered? (in Sequim, WA)

    I don’t think there’s much off road riding out that way, but I could be wrong. You may be in for long drives to get to decent single track, mountain riding, or an mx track. Tahuya and Capital Forest are probably the 2 closest big orv areas. Grays Harbor has an Mx track and trails, not close...

    Mileage and Range Expectations

    Map 1 is too boring for me on tight to open single track. I'm usually in Map 3 nowadays because the snap is fun, used to run Map 2 all the time, but have since settled on 3. I usually do a half days ride, 10-15 miles, usually have at about 1/3 battery remaining. I try to keep up the pace, but...

    Busted 4CS preload cap - Compression

    Its not just for preventing seal failure, releasing the air pressure insures your forks are working properly, resulting in a more comfortable ride, better handling, etc. Its why the forks have the air pressure relief screws in the first place. Not using the bleeders certainly didn't help in this...

    Busted 4CS preload cap - Compression

    Once repaired, you may consider bleeding the forks regularly, I have quick bleeders and usually tap them before I head out on a ride, and then during a break mid ride, just depends on how long I'm riding. The quick bleeders are handy, but can be tricky, they are easy to strip out the threads on...

    Busted 4CS preload cap - Compression

    Bummer about the fork cap. Are you bleeding the forks from time to time while riding?
