Varg Weights

[markhamr]

I am riding full outdoor mx
including bursting the front tube on the second whoop i hit on the stark
my fc450 is less than 110 fuelled and ready to go
thats 220.1 lbs
over 50 lbs lighter than the stark
still love it though but it needs to get around more like thishttps://www.dailymotion.com/video/x93ttl8
and in a foot a a half deep mud too

I think you got your units mixed up.
110 kg is 242lbs.
Stark Varg MX is 118kg (260 lbs) or 122kg (268 lbs) with tubes that hold. A 18 - 26 lbs weight gap instead of over 50...

Add to that a lower center of mass, less rotational force and no free liquid moving about on top of the bike and it handles way nimbler and feels much lighter.

It does handle a foot of deep mud very well. I tested that for you

Sorry about the typo
I weighed mine myself
124 kgs 273.373 no phone no fuel in it stark tube in the front only
guts seat cover might be 100 grams more
118 i wish only if you leave the front wheel sitting on the ground
versus 108kgs 238.099 enough fuel for 20 minutes plus 1 lap
same scales they are accurate so 35 lb
ill give you another 5 for the nothing hanging off the side of it like a exhaust
feels like a lot more on steep rough fast downhills trying to stop the thing
but at least i dont have to change down and have my other foot trying to modulate the rear brake
picking it up ugggh good incentive to not fall off i dont bother lifting it on the stand either
gravity rules mass times speed? weight plus mud equals poorer performance
it will get there eventually
all that torque i can get round better riders on ice bikes
and into corners i just blow past them(both balls of my feet planted on the pegs)
It has the best quality suspension
drop some weight off this thing it would bring everything into line be untouchable
5 kgs 10 would be like a dream but is a hell of a starting point
what else would you need but ride faster
