Stark Varg EX range

[Beagle]

Here are some first impressions, jump at 23:00 for some perspectives about range compared to MX.

Doesn't tell much but promising, he's gonna do something more thorough in a couple of days and no doubt we'll have lot more data and more vids about EX range pretty soon (expecting something from Enduro enforcer as well).

And apparently US owners get a Killswitch.

This is interesting for the USA market.

Yes handbrake is standard anywhere in the world with footbrake as a paying option, except for the US where footbrake is required for road homologation (and they provide handbrake as a courtesy).
They all come with plate holder to mount and integrated turn signals, front turn signals are road homologated for EU, so only an extra rearset is provided in EU. The US get their own front and back turn signals sets for road homologation (larger than the EU kit).

Some years ago I've seen incredible figures for what it cost to import and make street legal a single off road bike to the USA.
It can only be higher now.
With keeping dealers and almost every customer personally sweet must be major outlays for Stark.

Shane did a first range test on a heavy track, calls it pretty much worse case scenario, in these conditions EX got about 10% more range than MX (26.6 vs 24 miles range extrapolated to 0, about an extra 10 min for this test, 1h42 vs 1h31).

Sounds right. I just brought my MX fully armored up to a certified scale and it weighed in at 126kg.

Street riding, range seems to be around 40-60 miles, see video description for more details.

I have about 15% left after a fifty mile commute on my MX.

Flat ground?
Average speed?
That’s pretty good.

I'm in WNC so it's basically all tight backroads, average speed is probably around 45mph.

New vid from Shane, loved the PW50 reference

That was pretty fair, although I wish he said more about the bike itself and the handling.

He makes too many excuses for old people.

I've been thinking about Stark Varg daily for about six months, and there is one easy and overwhelming conclusion:
There is no off road bike you can get for love or money with the advantages of the Varg.
And that is likely to remain for at least next 3-5 years.
