Stark Future next models
- Thread starter Beagle
- Start date
Varg SM will launch in 2025
Big emphasis on road bikes (motocross was a way to build the brand, exploit a unique situation to compete directly against the best gas bikes)
Incoming models:
For the european market:
ÄLG: Adventure bike, 800cc equivalent, light, fast charging
LO: Street bike sharing same platform/powertrain than Älg
For the Asian market:
GIMLY? 100-500cc equivalent road bike, basic commuter with very competitive price, objective is low margin-high volume.
Then less advanced projects (I'll watch again later, not sure I got it right) the talk about Freeride, kids bike/85cc and ATV.
Lot of emphasis on power, lightness and fast charging. As announced a bit before, some models for Europe (high EV acceptance, infrastructure in place even if it varies a great deal among countries) will be made in Spain, some cheaper models for Asian market will be made in Asia (maybe with Royal Enfield?).
Fast charging is a must for road bikes, sweet IF you have access to it.
No talk about swappable batteries at all.

Have to say I was suprised at HOW open they were.
Stark is definitely at the mule stage for a lot of these bikes as I keep seeing bikes when I'm out and about...
Their factory is only 30 minutes from me and apparently alot of their staff live locally.
I just hope that as they expand that they can improve their support team as ATM, that is what's holding me back from wanting to buy from them again.

IMO a 7/8th or 3/4 sized dirt bike is a huge market. Kids, shorter riders, women, beginners etc. A Sur Ron beater. Sur Ron competitors keep coming with more power and the aftermarket industry is huge. A smaller, lighter, cheaper version of the Varg would be great.
Jajajaja thats true! and maybe if they made the bigger battery with the new molicels they can sell it for the Varg, that would be nice
i got 3 friends that will buy it the first day... and i probably buy one when i finish paying my Varg...
IMO specs could be something like this:
Power: at least 30/40kw
Weight: not more than 80kg
Battery: i think a 4/5kwh could be possible (battery swapable or not is a known topic, if swapable i know It comes with design challenges and weight distribution, whatever is easier for them, i personally dont care) (But for the podcast i watch, Anton Wass is not very on the swapable side...)
Charging: 2 hours Max (thats easy)
Price: 5/6k
Licensed version would be amazing
They love power so they will probably put in more power than is really needed. The same adjustable power settings on the varg could be good, if not, at least 3 modes, eco(20kw)/sport(30kw)/turbo(40kw) or something like that. Personally, I would remove the idea of the phone and put some normal controls, a screen installed on the handlebar.
Maybe 230mm/250mm travel
And there you have a light and fun bike to have a great time with your friends and do some jumps.
