Varg spring rates ?

[blbills]

Asked also the clicker settings from the support, and they sent the tables for each weight category. Tables attached. Settings from 65kg/70kg on to 95kg/100kg respectively from right to left. Five star customer service from stark future

I've been looking for this info. Thank you! I find it odd that this isn't covered in the manual at all!

I asked Stark support "Are the rider weight numbers the casual weight of the rider, or including helmet, boots, camelback, and all other riding gear?"
And received this response:

> Weight is casual without riding gear when considering our suspension setup.

I just wanted to say thank you to all especially @AL_V for sharing this information. I have created a blog post over at Charged Cycle Works consolidating most of this information into a single post. One thing that I've added to improve the discussion here is a link over to RaceTech Spring Calculator for the Stark Varg. They recently added the Varg into their database and it's very interesting to compare their calculations to what Stark offers from the OEM. What I've found is that the rear shock doesn't change much, it's primarily based on rider weight. However the fork spring rate is mostly affected by a riders speed/skill and type of riding. These are great data points to take into consideration when choosing your Varg Suspension "weight". I've given a lot more insight into our thinking process for choosing the best option in our blog, check it out in the link below.

Thank you again to all of you who contributed to this information!

I'm pretty sure RaceTech (somewhere) specifies it's without gear. I use my actual bathroom scale weight in their calculator.
