    General Suspension on the EX

    Thank you very much for the tip. Ordered a 56 from an excellent gentleman at MX-Special-Parts Onlineshop für MX Motocross Enduro Sport

    New VARG Software Update.

    Has anybody ever been asked for feedback by Stark? If there is some Beta testing group they are very, very secret. It's not a good idea to change the throttle / power delivery without informing the owner. It can be dangerous for track riders whose every input is precise and consistent...

    New VARG Software Update.

    Easy method to test if the regen has been smoothed is to put it on +90 with high power +50 then try to open and close the throttle on a rough downhill. If it's like before it will feel terrible. If they sorted it it may feel less terrible. If you can manage the the throttle transition smoothly...

    Kayo eC2

    I would say the same for the Hero eBike. They gave absolutely no information about it. It's amazing how many new E and gas off-road bikes were shown at EICMA, but you can not buy or even read about 90% of them.

    General Suspension on the EX

    It seems there is a worldwide shortage of 56N/mm shock springs. Stark doesn't have it right now either. Will 58N/mm be too stiff for 72kg+13kg=85kg rider and gear? Low-ish average speed ≈20km/h, never higher than 60km/h. Hardpack, rocky hills. I'm looking at this and this spring rates for the...

    Arkenstone keeps turning on with bike off

    Yes. I fought it for days trying every trick. The bastard would randomly light up and stay on overheating at full brightness and draining the battery. It's not related to wireless charging. Even unclamping it from the dock and slightly raising didn't help. I decided it's some bug in the app...

    Both Tubes Patched On A New EX

    See the installation video. Advantage over Tubliss is that there are no rimlocks. Here's one more system that people seem to like: https://www.hed-shop.com/en/nomousse-pro-tiresystem-enduro-18x215.html Then there is this silliness: [900$]

    New VARG Software Update.

    You've just earned what Turks call mustuluk. A small gift for the bearer of good news. What you describe above is for me the only weak point of the Varg EX. I had a couple of really bad instances that made me I worry Varg will be dangerous to take on some difficult climbs where stopping is not...

    Both Tubes Patched On A New EX

    There are quite a few choices for weird and interesting tire systems on the market. I'm tempted by this one but the price is very northen. https://www.tlockconcept.com/products/t-lock-startkit-16-tum?variant=50439762510165

    General Suspension on the EX

    Thanks. I can get 38/112mm sag, but it took a lot of preload. I'm now sourcing the correct springs and hopefully that will help. I got shafted by the dealer on more than just this issue. I already had to swallow 1000eur of extra cost due to uncooperation. He's in a different country and 500km...

    New VARG Software Update.

    I agree with this, but in my experience engaging the 'crawl' inside that half a second before the bike starts to roll back downhill takes too much time. I suppose with practice one could learn to anticipate the moment and hopefully this new update refined it a bit. It's been mentioned before...

    It's not a patch. Carry on.

    New VARG Software Update.

    I think I read here that crawl/reverse was developed by a different company and gifted to Stark. Not sure who is developing it now. I only use the crawl to load the bike in the van when it's on an incline and I'm too tired to push. It is not practical as a low-gear and I look forward to try...

    New VARG Software Update.

    Good to know, thanks. No update for my bike right now. I use it 2x1.5h per week an average.

    New VARG Software Update.

    What is the point of trickling out a software update? It's not like they will run out of bandwidth. It only complicates the process for no advantage, from my view. Note this about 4G. If you have the phone connected to your house WiFi that may be used first.

    General Suspension on the EX

    What brand of springs did you use? I wish I didn't read this. Due to dealer error my EX came with 'Soft' springs. I hoped I could use it as all I ride is hardpack terrain at low-ish speed, but it's now certain no. I weigh ±72kg + 12kg of gear ≅ 85kg. I asked Stark specifically about this and...

    Hero displayed a couple of electric bikes at EICMA. I can't find any details right now.

    Yamaha YE-01

    At this rate of development all the Yam/Hon/Kaw/Suz fanboys will die of natural causes before the bikes are delivered. Cultivating a new cohort of customers willing to pay premium prices for BNG-raphics will be hard.
