    Stark Varg - Owners Manual

    Thanks for uploading the file. As I sit here & peruse the manual while enjoying some particularly good rum .. a few things are of interest. Warranty. Two years, hooray ! , that's certainly never been done before for a dirt bike. The thing is though, under the section 'does not cover'...

    Good synopsis - thanks. I was interested in one of those when announced, but in the initial test Tucker did on it he stated it was smaller than a Freeride-E & that decided it for me as I owned one of the 2 stroke Freerides ( same chassis ) & found the short wheelbase & steep steering angle too...

    That woulda bought a LOT of tires & brake pads. Is you bike being delivered direct to your residence in a box ? Or local dealer ?

    You're gonna be glad you bought the full size wheels & gummy tires - as with many of the small e-bikes, there is a struggle to get underway if any momentum is lost going up hill. Hard-ish enduro Aussie style ;

    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 ?

    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.

    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...
