David Herbreteau finished 12th in France MX Elite 1st round, that was a 30 min race (25 min + 2 laps). Against riders like Renaux, Febvre, Desprey. On the other side of the Pyrenees, Eddie Karlsson finished 4th in Saturday Bassella xtreme final won by Josep Garcia...

David Herbreteau just finished 12th in France Elite MX1 1st round. It was a 30 min race (25 min + 2 laps) against world class riders. Definitely not finished in limp mode given his laptimes. And Rob Pinney finished top30% overall on Sunday morning GNCC race with a time of 2h37min. On the MX of...

Curious, what's up with the "noise level at 23 ft", is this some kind of industry standard or just some commercial nonsense?

They've been experimenting on this with official riders for sure. But Eddie doing Eddie things doesn't really imply he's using extra gadget, it's just Eddie. Like looking at this vid you'd think the tame 24 hp CRF250L has a hidden extra boost function somewhere. That being said, I do believe...

Thanks paid in full 10th of December delivery to Barcelona, you should be in the first batch, just weird you didn't get a VIN.

When did you pay in full (if you don't mind)? That would be so cool to be allowed to get it directly at the factory, anyway delivery should not be long for you 😎

GNCC have allowed electrics to race since last year. US Sprint Enduro series as well, both sanctioned by the AMA. Now they have their own class in AMA Arenacross, plus "clash for cash" race mixing ICE and electrics.

30 mph average speed that's quite a fast loop, do the guys on XE4 get through 1.5 h by swapping batteries or do they run a single 4 kWh pack? The guy in 8th on a KTM is riding a Freeride?

Stark delivery schedules remain a dark art. With their mixed system of dealers and direct to customer it's hard to understand how to get the bike at the earliest. They have to serve both customers and dealers orders plus progressively stock dealers. They have great success but remain a growing...

Great tip, very detailed info, shouldn't be that hard to put them on Stark website.

You're right, it could be something like 20% to 80%. Anyway until it's released and tested in the real world it's just a manufacturer's claim.

Ever heard about these guys? https://www.strix-evolution.com https://www.instagram.com/p/DDIMCIsRw_u/?img_index=2&igsh=b2toZWpyZDBkc3V5 Some Slovenian competitors for Flux? Here are their claims: 95 hp 118 kg 6.3 kWh 350 V swappable battery rated 1500 cycles 10 min fast charging on CCS, 75...

They've already experimented with the Ti frame This is super interesting, and possibly the future. As he mentions, right now they could produce more Ti parts, technically it's doable, the issues are cost and output. For limited series of small items like 200€ Ti footpegs it's ok but I can't...

My guess is that their production capacity is about 1000 bikes a month, including both Varg MX and EX. Of course with EX being a new model, no stock at the dealers, sold out for the next few months and with a much bigger market, I would assume they make much more EX than MX at the moment. They...

Thanks for the vid. 300 workers, 150 on the office side including 85 dedicated to R&D. As you said 1h to build a bike, new bike every 10 min, so in one 8h shift that would be 42 bikes completed, about 1000 bikes a month for one shift, one line, 5 days a week. No idea how many shifts or...

Yeah, for Gary, paid in full 20th of December, gotta be in the very first batches, also delivery to south of France can't really get much closer than that. So if it's now slated for mid March I would assume no February deliveries.

Ah ok thanks, that's from 1 year ago. I think they had this production capacity, but that doesn't mean they were making as much on average. As far as I can tell, they went from about VIN 3000 to VIN 10000 in 2024 so that would average to 600-700 bikes made per month. I have no doubt now that...

Interesting, I think they averaged about 700/month in 2024, that would be doubled. Do you have a link for that?

In production now but delivered in the UK in 2 months? That seems an awful lot. Unless they're waiting on some parts maybe?

So this series has nothing to do with the AMA ? It would be interesting to see the length of races and if you can understand more or less how much battery they have left in the end.
