The Man Behind the Stark Future Varg, Plus His Story, Vision, and Goals For ELECTRIC MX 

Thank you!!! Very humbled by your comments. - swap

My thoughts exactly. Best Media game right now! Keep it up !

Same... I'm hoping for an easy add on option down the road to complement my pre- order.

I’m sure you are enjoying the storm be. But let’s be honest it’s a Chinese bike. There’s really no comparison here. The efficiency of the stark pack is superior to any Chinese production E bike. Don’t get me wrong. I think the storm be is a great bike. They’re just in two different categories

I am thinking the same. Hard enduro is not for the masses tho, it’s a bit more advanced. Based on his podcast with Gipsy, I feel Stark’s ceo’s limited riding experience might not fully appreciate that. The company could be convinced tho. There is a french Trial Bike ( e motion? ) with a mechanical clutch. I couLd see a left lever with an electronic clutch on the Varg, so it could create zapping and fanning behavior through software. Not sure the results would be what we desire. That was my complain on my ktm freeride exc. it is easier for me to use clutch control in combination with throttle control than making big throttle movements. In the rough, bumping off boulders , sliding on an off camber hill… pushing a bike above chest while getting bumped by other riders, I feel a clutch lever is ergonomically safer and more controllable than making fine throttle moves. If I bump you on the left arm you can still keep the clutch pulled in. If I bump your right arm I am not sure you can keep your throttle input exactly where you wanted, especially in pushing/pulling awkward positions. Throttle control is just one part of the equation. On a combustion engine at least. Maybe the “ future” is all throttle control ? Maybe those Graham Jarvis classes were a mistake lol , maybe riding style and technique are going to adapt and somehow change… for motocross to begin with... I would like to see Tony Bou and Jarvis, Billy Bolt on the Varg do stuff and give us their feedback. See if they can “ port” their skills as is. Then I will shut up. I worked too hard to build these skills over my lifetime to see someone remove these tools I have finally mastered. Right now Motocross only is a good dirt bike beginner intro. And it is quite a feat for Stark so far. We need more innovators trying things. Cheers

You’re still thinking in the terms of a combustion engine. You don’t need a clutch for hard enduro. That’s just what you’re used to. It doesn’t mean you need one.

I wish I knew. I thought it looked awesome. I was pretty excited about it. When it came out, I thought by Spring 2023 it would have been in production. Will be interesting to see out of the Big 4 and the Austrian bikes who releases one first, and how they operate. Exciting times ahead for us who love electric, and the possibilities that will come along with it. 🤘😎🤜🤛🌭

Stock suspension. I'd take the KYB over WP every time

Cheap? Kyb is the brand everyone chooses with stock stuff. Or even revalved..Wp in stock form would be the third choice for most people.
