I think 68 dB is not very quiet, although we do not know at what load that was measured. Also, 138 lbs is not the lightest, and the size does not appear to be compact. I would keep looking.

Thanks for the videos, Bryan. Someone -- Send the man a calibrated bathroom scale please!

Awesome, Bryan! This is going to be a perfect first entry in our new Stark Varg Resources subforum.

WHOOAAAA!!! I hope you are wrong about your current spring rate because that would be softer than the MX stock spring rate. The stock MX front springs are 0.52 kg/mm, so the two are 1.04 kg/mm. Yep. Huge kudos to you for racing an MX with a sub-optimal suspension and still winning races and...

OMG! It is 116.5 decibels. My ears are already hurting just reading about it! But at just 19.8 lb it would be nice if I could use it as a range extender on a commuter bike.

Nice to see this thread continuing! That's true. You can buy a Yamaha 6,300 Watt inverter generator, charge one bike on the 240V circuit and the other on the 120V circuit and ride all day with just short stops to let the rider cool off and drink water. Mount it semi-permanently outside of the...

I am curious if there are any taxes or fees on top of the MSRP?

Hey new neighbor, welcome to the neighborhood! I will be 3 hours north of you. If you need help shoveling, let me know. I would love to make a weekend road trip in the motovan!

Thank you, Naancy.

Great points. I have been swapping my MTB brake levers since I bought my first mountain bike. Bike shops don't get surprised when I ask them to swap the levers around on a new bike, apparently this is a common request. Glad to hear one more confirmation that I am not alone in this.

I ordered the whole thing for $301. From the description it appears that it should come with the slave cylinder and hopefully already filled and bled. We will see... Their whole brake accessories section is a mess. You click on "front master cylinder" and it is uncertain if you will receive the...

This was very helpful. Thank you. I am near the middle of the third category, so I am not worried anymore. We will know the exact weight distribution when Bryan gets his bike.

Now that the cat is out of the bag, and the 118 lbs is a known number, could Stark please publish the front/rear weight distribution and the exact spring rates that they are planning to ship to us? I am finding myself in-between two choices. Also, I would rather pick my own front fork spring...

Answering that question is starting to sound like explaining 120F in Arizona: "But it's a DRY HEAT".

In those cases I use both the LHRB and the rear brake, LOL! ...EXCEPT in rare panic situations when I am up in the air, doing an inadvertent "boner air". I haven't learned to use the LHRB in the air yet, neither have I learned to use the rear brake, but during the boner air my right foot slams...

I am definitely keeping my Start Varg order. But the next bike I will want is a Stark Vargito (or Liten Varg, whatever) with 300 of these cells in a 4.8 kWh quick-swappable battery. It should still be able to beat the 450cc bikes. https://www.molicel.com/inr21700-p45b/

Stark is selling the LHRB master cylinder and a line kit (with a brake line and a slave cylinder), hopefully already bled??? https://starkfuture.com/parts-and-accessories/spare-parts/varg/brakes/brakes_rear_hand_brake/24_brake_assembly And just a master cylinder. Not sure if the brake line is...

Mark, do you think we need 6.5 kWh of batteries to have the power that is equivalent or better than a factory 450cc bike? Can you think of ways to make 4.8 kWh batteries last, like @rayivers was proposing, but without detuning the power output? Is it okay to discharge 2170 or other batteries at...

Heavy. It appears that light 110 kg bikes never existed. Manufacturers often announce weight targets that they think they might be able to meet somehow, if they try extra hard, or if a miracle happens. Then they come short of the target. Happens in the car industry too all the time.

The two times when I notice the weight of my Alta are: 1) When I lift it onto a bike stand, and 2) When I have to pull on the handlebars to loft the front wheel over some obstacle. I do not use the bike stand very often. I tend to use the rear wheel triangle at the track. This solves the first...
