I can not understand quite well after study other related threads.
can anyone simply tell me if the wheel fit or only spacer difference?

Yes, I have a KTM rear wheel on my Varg.
Must use Varg spacers which do not go inside bearings, just against face.

 

[Philip]

Yes.

KTM wheels AND spacers do fit. You just need to do your research as to which years/models of KTM axles work with the Varg.

This is what makes me want more standardisation in the industry. Why do bike manufacturers feel the need to change axle size so often.

All years, AFAIK. Only the spacers and the axles are different.

I know ktm increase the dimension of the axles since 2023 (sx/xc bikes ) then 2024 (xcw/exe bikes), before was 20mm now 222mm.
how about the stark?

My 2024 Gen 2 Varg MX has 25mm rear axle and 22mm front axle.

KTM has 20mm, 22mm, and 25mm axles. The hubs and the bearings are the same, just the spacers and axles are different. This is my experience.

 

[DaveAusNor]

The bearings ID's could not be the same if different axles. If you're right that the hubs are the same then the bearing OD's should be too.

Try to imagine the unimaginable.

 

[DaveAusNor]

Not sure I understand what you mean sorry mate.

The bearing IDs and ODs are the same. KTM has several different spacers. At least some of the spacers fit inside the bearing as well as against the face of the bearing. The axle then fits inside the spacer. On Stark (and ~maybe~ late model KTM) the spacer has the same ID as the bearing and just sits against the bearing face. So the axle is the maximum diameter possible and matches the bearing and spacer ID.
Hope this helps someone...

Ah I see now. I guess that would be called a sleeve or something between the ID and the axle. Thanks.

The "sleeve: is part of the spacer, see attached photo of both types of spacers
