Eddie K. wins stage 2. If I'm reading this right, he did three stints of 54' minutes. His timestamps are almost the same as the closest rider. No apparent evidence of time lost in pit stops. Gold class was painful to watch. Manhandling bikes all day long, and these are the best riders.

Day 2 stage profile: Gold: Silver: Like Day 1, Gold class distance is 10% shorter. Should be said that (carbed) ICE bikes are probably spilling a significant amount of petrol through their overflow on those climbs and while laying down. Stark doesn't have that issue and has re-gen.

I'm all for humility, but I question the reasoning here. They have capable bike and rider, and in racing you have to use 100% of what you have. Dowatek team has a Varg in the race, and some tips on cooling the bike. [in German] https://www.facebook.com/dowatek

I was a bit disappointed do see them in "Silver". I tried searching for explanation in the rules (i.e. distance, route etc.) but there's nothing obvious there. Gold class even has shorter stages by distance, although longer stage times due to difficulty. However, range is probably the reason...

Day 1 Gold and Silver class:

Eddie Kralson's result for Day 1: Must be a story behind it because he lost and gained time throughout the stage. No info about recharging for now. One other Stark Varg in the Bronze class copped a big penalty. The Electric category looks a bit of a mess to be honest. A few Vargs, but...

For clarity, Eddi Kralson is competing in the "Silver" class: 7 minutes plus 1 lap Here's the "Gold" class: 10 minutes plus 1 lap [Factory teams, top riders etc.]

Wicked course. Here's the view from the sideline: I can't wait to see how they fair in the race. Imagine if Stark could get on the RedBull ticket now that KTM is all but dead ... It wouldn't be the healthiest or organic growth, but it would launch them to prime time.

One positive thing from all the urban EX riders is that they will put down a lot more miles than an off-road rider. Bugs, faults and of course, the qualities will be known sooner than otherwise.

It looks like Stark organized a multi-day ride for the media. Eddi Karlson was there to keep them humble. This one is in Italian, but it has [dreadful] English dub or you can use auto-translate subtitles.

Talking to a Trial rider about riding and technique is like talking to a pianist about music and playing: Meaningless, unless you are a pianist and playing their exact music. In my world riding into a wall at the rev limiter just doesn't come up. And if it does, it will be only once. P.S...

I stopped using ChatGPT because half the time I was instructing it not to sound like a desperate car salesman. :D It's interesting that it didn't take.

Highly recommended: Guarantee you won't miss anything.

First thing would be to carefully read what the extended warranty covers. I think there are certain situations where this arrangement may be welcomed by some. Maybe investing 1K into extended warranty raises the re-sale value by that much or more. It will certainly sell easier than an out...

What happens to the bike if the phone really gets damaged or lost during the ride? There are a lot of reports on Facebook groups complaining that phone or the software has: locked, limited, bricked and more or less blame anything on it. In many cases it reads like a user error, but they are...

This may be a step in the right direction: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/stark-future_starkfuture-electricmotocross-supercross-activity-7344005478659579905-JRwp In my opinion Stark didn't manage the SuperEnduro project very well. They needed someone who knows what makes the FIM wheels turn...

When I removed 30cc from the total 330cc out of Beta KYB fork it made it feel like riding in socks. I could feel every stone and no improvement in handling or the mythical plushness. Having to remove 150cc or nearly 50% of total indicates that there may be some other issue. I'd say the same...

Some KTM Rally riders use similar wedges on their bikes. They are quite large. I like your version. It would be nice if someone could make a 3D model for printing.

Nice track. In your experience, is the battery drain at all linear? I guess it can not strictly be so even in a static test. For example: can you expect to cover similar distance from 60% to 50% as from 30% to 20%?
