That "Oh shit" moment when you realize you've just cheated death or when you realize you almost killed your boss, we've all been there, right? 🤣

Aren't radial street tires heavier? And they're not of the same dimensions. 17" street wheels may be heavier? Beefed up calipers, beefed up triple clamp, could be heavier forks and shock maybe?

Deliveries starting December 6th for France. 124 kg, Pirelli Diablo IV, sweet radial monobloc Brembo front brake caliper, that's nice. The portable 3,3 kW charger is a nice touch. Still a bit odd to not have it onboard but I guess most people can live with that, it looks really small. It's...

Agreed, that's the most likely explanation.

That would be preorders opening then 👍

KTM has been selling more street bikes than dirt bikes for a while, we don't have any details but I'd bet their overflowing stock was more street than dirt (plus the major deficit maker were their electric bicycles).

That was 2 years ago, I haven't seen much news of him racing the Varg since then?

Molicel P45B used in MX1.0 are rated for 3 C. If the cells in EX/MX1.2 are similar to Molicel P50B they could be rated for 5 C.

Dowatek makes all sorts of protections for the Varg. They know what they're doing, they raced it at Romaniacs. https://www.dowatek.de/en/stark-varg/?p=1

Great vid, they're really good at this, hopefully they keep at it for WSX. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPWKja4DCND/?igsh=MWczZHQ3YzBrNGQ2ZA==

Honda specifically highlights the importance of Indian market and its regulations favoring electrics in their 2024 annual report. They all know that's where the future is. Selling dirtbikes in the US or Europe is just a distraction, cracking India is the big deal. Hi Mr Eicher, how are you...

Of course dirt bikes are a niche market. Still, Honda has big plans for electrics and they've been showcasing this bike for close to 10 years. Also true is that North America is insignificant for Honda motorcycle sales, they barely feature in their plans. Together, North America, Europe and...

Absolutely, if Honda were to release an electric dirt bike on a similar level than the Varg, they would likely outsell it thanks to brand image, dealer network, millions of faithful customers and so on. Which makes it all the more puzzling that they're not doing it despite working on the bike...

https://www.instagram.com/p/DPRSlGCDN0Z/?igsh=dGhkNDA1dWJ5aGhw Preorders should open real soon, deliveries may start a couple of months later, could be right on time for Christmas (in Europe). I wouldn't count on anything fancy besides wheels, suspensions, brakes compared to the EX. Maybe some...

Yes, writing could be more problem for the user. Potentially for the programmer as well?

Could that be because Honda has been around for a little more than a couple of years? 😁 If you think Honda could come and crush Stark whenever they'd like, take a look at their EV sales and how much they're still lagging behind new manufacturers 10 years later. Or take a look at their 50 hp...

Honda has a very clear electric program both for cars and motorbikes, they've also just revealed their first electric street bike that got from prototype to production bike in a more reasonable 2 years time. https://electricdirtriders.com/threads/honda-wn7-wind-naked-fun.4449 I don't think...

The best bike is the one you can buy. Yes they did see the Varg success, they have also "raced" against it in FIM Explorer. It's beyond embarrassing that Honda can't release a production bike up to the task after showcasing this prototype for 8 years. Come on, Stark did not even exist by then.

It looks like Stark will have a serious Enduro team for 2026 with Cooper Abbott alongside Eddie Karlsson. They'll probably race FIM Superenduro, AMA Hard enduro, and maybe even Endurocross if AMA reverts to allowing electrics in this series...

AXP provides extended protection for (hard) enduro riders. Stark won't take responsibility for any damage relates to aftermarket parts but I guess if you have unrelated issues your warranty should still work?
