Josh Hill vid on round 1

You can see the overtake for the win in the Instagram above. I have not seen a video of this race yet.

Nice to see AMA evolving its stance on electrics. Cool to see riders like Hicks racing both the AX and X Pro classes on a Yam and Varg. Clash for cash is fun, and that's great to see Justin Bogle smiling again after winning the second cash for clash race...

That would be a terrific addition for off-road, sounds like something they should be happy to implement, the kind of thing that would justify using a smartphone instead of a more standard dashboard, might as well use this to their advantage to stand out even further from the crowd.

Wow, didn't know that Bayo was "this" Bayo, that's cool 😎 Here's the follow-up electric shootout video

You're right that's what they're saying. The guy has indeed been working at Yamaha Motor Argentina marketing department for 15 years, I guess he just recently transfered at Stark Future Argentina...hope he got a nice welcome package cause he might not stick around for too long 🤣 I like his...

Not just between states though, is it? Like you could go to 2 KTM dealers in the same state and get 2 different quotes for the same brand new bike, right?

Check this thread https://electricdirtriders.com/threads/varg-production-numbers-vin.3551/ digits 1-3 World Manufacturer Identifier: UDU for Stark Future digits 4-8 Vehicle Descriptor Section: MX1AE, MX1A presumably stands for the Varg, digit 8 for motorisation, E for electric? digit 9: check...

Tampere SX

I think Flux moto are working on that, aren't they? If I remember right the left lever ("virtual clutch") is supposed to act either like a clutch or a rear brake depending on an algorithm fed by multiple inputs like throttle position, front brake, wheel speed and so on? Interesting that Josh...

Well, baby steps, separate class for electrics but both classes will race in the "Clash for cash". With zero communication I wonder how many riders they'll get in the electric class... https://arenacrossusa.com/racer-resources/

Scrap that, it turns out that Justin Bogle (and Josh Hill, not sure if he'll ride the Yam or the Varg, I'll bet the latter) are racing AMA Arenacross next week against Friese and others!

Yeah I'm starting to think we will see more than Vargs and a couple of Honda CR-E at 2026 MXEP.

Right, that was the interview I was thinking about. I don't think they would be on track at the same time but a kind of deal like SX Futures with electric class racing at some AMA SX events would already be interesting. Although of course it would depend who they put on it, show us what...

The electric Kove is still presented at EICMA 2024 (did it move from Milan since last year ? 😆). Nothing new except it won't be released in 2024! Interestingly they're also a CFMoto electric prototype at EICMA 2024, as the Kove it should be a full power direct competitor to the Varg. It's...

He answered in YT comments he had some dirt stuck around the rear wheel. His comments are really interesting, it's quite rare to have a pro level rider not under contract talking honestly about riding his gas and electric bikes.

Josh Hill just made a nice video about this: Here's what he says in the comments: [Asked if electric bikes have an advantage over ICE]: "At this stage for a pro rider, the answer is no. I'm still faster and more confident on my Yamaha 450. But I think it's inevitable at the rate their...

Would you be aiming for MXEP as well? I guess it could make wonders for brand awareness, especially for a startup ?

AFAIK it just comes from the fact that MXEP is scheduled for 2026, MXGP very obviously waiting for some Stark competitor which is widely assumed to be Honda but there has been zero confirmation about this. The CRE has been introduced in 2017, it raced one round of Japan Nationals last year but...

Another vet title for a Varg rider, it's definitely dangerous to let it race against ICE! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB7eJFFSUaF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
