You're right, they're not competing for the same market, they're probably not aiming for 80 hp. At least we'll see how much they increase the battery capacity, should be pretty easy given improvement by suppliers. Also watching overall weight and price, now that the Varg alpha is at 12 000 €. A...

FYI $3500 is the powertrain price if you buy it from Stark.

Barely an update in 10 years, let's see if KTM are becoming more serious about this. For the record, the current "2nd generation" freeride specsheet is 24 hp, 3.9 kW, 111 kg, 13 000 € I'd be very surprised if it's even remotely close to the Varg performance but I'd love to be wrong. Official...

Now for new orders foot brake is an extra 200 €, selecting 60 hp is not possible anymore, and 2000 € reduction is finally on Stark website. For bikes in stock or made to order, 80 hp is 12 000 €. Just for Europe for now but I guess they'll stick to identical prices everywhere so should appear...

You know what's really odd about this $3000 rebate? Stark don't advertise it, nor even acknowledge it's existence, on its website and social media. Many dealers in various countries offer this, although price didn't change for made-to-order, it has to come directly from them.

Fast charger option will likely come along 2025 road models. Fast charger will likely come along 2025 road bikes

Supermoto is probably the worst use case, I'm curious to see what they come up with to mitigate this for their road legal Supermoto.

Here is the raw vid for the 1st hard enduro 5 h test and here is regular enduro with Taddy B. "how to drain a Varg battery in 1h18min" onboard video

Another subtle change, for bikes made to order you now only have 3 suspension choices: Soft (140-165 lbs), medium (165-200 lbs) and hard (200-225 lbs). They cut it down from 7 to 3 choices, which honestly makes a lot of sense for logistics. Think about it, initially they had 3 colors, 7...

Absolutely, if your usual rides are anything like the loop in Stark latest enduro range vid, amateur and beginner riders got 50 km/30 miles (from 100 to 0!), that was between 2 and 3 hours of riding. https://electricdirtriders.com/threads/stark-range-video-s.3780/#post-40530

Here's the second video in the series, enduro with Stark CTO and co-founder, Stark top marketing guy and Taddy B. Taddy 1h18 (42 km) amateur 2h19 (53 km) beginner 3h (50 km)

Intriguing, estimated delays for new orders have substantially increased: 2 months for Europe and 4 months for US and Australia. A couple of months ago it was about 2 weeks for Europe. Could be issues at the factory... or they could be building up stock of the incoming new models before launch...

Update: US VIN at 8290 (Central Kentucky Motorsports).

First year, first model, new brand. Teething problems and growing pains were to be expected. The good thing is that Stark anticipated that and offered a 2 years warranty, unheard of for a MX bike. Imagine if they hadn't, they would have had terrible reputation by now so kudos to them. Customer...

Some highlights from TKO electric race

Limited time only, while supplies last...still puzzled a bit but great deal for sure https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_76OOtJLOV/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Both dealers have definitely had deliveries by batches over 20 (it's on YouTube), also Kaplan claimed to be Stark number one US dealer, so it could be something like this. Thing is, rough calculation says Stark may have around 2% margin on the bike, like 300€ by sale (given their July numbers...

Hey guys, time to buy a Stark Varg, it's not just Kaplan! https://lithiumpowersports.com/collections/stark-varg-rides/products/stark-future-stark-varg-stark-red Kaplan and Lithium powersports are among the largest US Stark dealers, this is surprising.

Not sure how they do this but brand new Vargs for under 11 k for Alphas, delivery country wide

Definitely something they must be working on for the 2025 street models
