''The Stark is heavier''... While not untrue i don't think it matters. The weight gap between a Stark and most 300 2 strokes is about a camel back filled with water and a hefty lunch. Rider weight differences puts that weight gap between bikes within rounding errors. I'm also from the EU, IRC...

If it's rock riding and max grip you're after it's hard to beat the Michelin Extreme. It melts away though, but plenty grip. In your case i would not go to such soft gummy. Just a soft or a medium Enduro tyre.

In MX you might be right. Not so much in street riding. And ECE only cares for street riding. And MX speeds are way higher. Crashes of 50+ km/h are common. Not to say you can't learn from one another, just know it's comparing apples to oranges.

Is Jarvis allowed to do this with his Husqvarna contract? Or has that ended? Also that's a very tiny battery for it's capacity. Wishfull thinking or some fast advancing tech? This has business of being on a MX track for sure. But i can see this being a weapon in places like Erzberg, Pascuet...

I think i would go stock again. This has taken one for the team instead of your swingarm itself. Aftermarket stuff tends to be really strong.

People have been doing this with Zero's for a long time. Ask around with those guys.

Indeed. Take a footbal, bicycle and MC helmet. Put a bowling ball in them and throw them out of a driving car. I've been looking into those well vented bicycle helmets as well for Hard Enduro, but some people i know who did Down Hill mtb (from the Netherlands, go figure a more out of place...

Depends indeed. In Europe there is a very high standard AND over the whole production run the Institutes take samples. Not complying is pretty much end of your manufacturing career.

I have the theory that cheap helmets are often safer than expensive ones. The cheapest way to get past testing is to overdo it. Just make it bulky, heavy, no ventilation and not too much odd shapes and you have a very save and cheap helmet to develop and produce. Also if you overdo it you don't...

Lighthearted fun just like it should! But now they are comparing a stock bike to a fully setup and finetuned Competition bike. What if that Stark got the same treatment. Get that suspension 100% perfect for those guys and the gap will be huge.

Welcome here as well! The advertisement is often the issue when engineers do what they do best, but seems you're on rising side! As for Youtubers on your bikes. If you end up with a demo bike within a 100km of me i would love to cover it ;) In the Netherlands you don't have a real reach, the...

The higher your speed the more you will gain from taller gearing.

App is working again on my MX1.0. What @OpaTsupa says would be great. I would love a wired connection that just works. On a Hard Enduro day my screen freezes about 3-10 times a day.

I agree. And that could be be very crude if needed to keep it cheap. Just stacking 2 gears and a simple mechanism wouldn't widen the bike a lott nor add serious costs. A "quickshifter" doesn't need a clutch and quickshifting something as smooth as a E motor is easy to program. And well i guess...

If you want to be really sure just order them from Stark. Their prices on those things are very market confirm. Way cheaper than at X-grip's website.

I am faster on the Stark than the Beta RR 300 Racing yes On a local sand MX track i'm at roughly 2:30 with the Stark wich is about 5-10 seconds faster. On a Local hardpack i did 1:54 on 42hp and 1:57 on 16hp. While it took me 2:00 on my Girffriends Beta RR 200. In Cross Country 2hrs endurance...

In the Netherlands there are 50 Starks in total with a licence plate (so sold to consumers). That are all EX's. MX's are not streetlegal so not in this data. Edit: This year 214 KTM EXC's, 57 Beta's, 21 Sherco's, 13 Rieju's. The other brands had no good info due to lack of findeable tradenames...

Very cool! I was actually shocked by how much advantage i had from the E drivetrain when i took the Stark MX on SM around Pottendijk karting track. Sure we all knew how fast it would be out of the corner onto the straight. But the biggest gain is actually IN the corners. The overal smoothness...

Welcome @Andreas Keim ! I had some email contact with Nina since i was curious to your brand. Honestly i was expecting the typical China dropshipping answer, turned out i was very wrong! Even ended up with an invitation to your factory. Wich is 7 hours away but i just might combine it with some...

Agreed. In the Stark i knew before buying: Suspension, brakes, sprockets and wheels all from big suppliers used by big OEM's. The founder had deep pockets and big connections, combined with experience growing businesses. All the above is very reassuring. If i would be in the market for a HVR...
