We all know that we are on the brink of the electric motorcycle revolution, so you can expect news about new bicycles to become hot in the next few years. This may include familiar manufacturers and new manufacturers. We just received a PR for a new company called Stark Future and its new Varg off-road motorcycle. The tests were carried out with the help of former world champion Sebastien Tortelli and Josh Hill, who has tested hundreds of hours on Alta electric bikes, and it is said that the machine can It produces up to 80 horsepower and a weight of 110 kilograms, which is 242 pounds. We can also say that it looks cool. The list price is 11,900 Euros, which is approximately US$13,500
Stark Future stated that it is a multinational company founded in 2019, with Swedish descent, but located on the edge of Barcelona. The press release mentions how quickly the motocross tracks and riding areas in Europe are closed due to noise, and how this drives development to put this electric bike into use before more tracks disappear.
We will see how Stark Future develops in the future. This is the public relations announcement of bicycles today, and this is a website that can be viewed. Just for fun, we browsed the website and found that you can order bikes now, but the estimated delivery date is currently September 2022. This is just a glimpse on the website, we are not saying that these are official dates.
The following press release is from Stark Future:
Change the world: launch the ground-breaking Stark VARG electric off-road motorcycle. #challenge yourself
Stark Future was born to challenge and inspire the motorcycle industry to achieve sustainable development. The company's first mass production model-the Stark VARG off-road motorcycle-will prove that electric technology is superior to gasoline equivalents in all aspects.
Stark VARG is the first electric motorcycle to become the performance leader among similar products. The new model will reposition the industry with its patent-pending technology and design features to inspire riders and racers to achieve sustainable development. In order to surpass traditional technology, Stark VARG has been developed from the ground up, building the powertrain and chassis into a perfect fit, and optimizing each component for its purpose. This is physical evidence that electric off-road motorcycles can outperform similar products with internal combustion engines in all aspects.
How does Stark VARG ("strong wolf" in Swedish) distinguish it?
There are no untouched or unchecked details, and no compromises: Stark VARG has been developed for more than two years, and every component has been carefully checked and cross-compared to obtain the best performance and potential. In addition to the original data and excellent handling, Stark VARG also relies on its fast charging time and unparalleled durability (providing a complete "motorcycle" or up to 6 hours of easy off-road riding under the intensity of a Grand Prix-like, Charge for 1 -2 hours) and there is no emission and noise. Stark VARG is also very versatile. Through the excellent Stark Future app-contained in a waterproof and shockproof smartphone/dashboard, held in place by a new sturdy fixture-the bike’s power curve, engine braking, traction control and virtual flywheel weight can be Make adjustments in a few seconds, through up to 100 riding "modes". What kind of motorcycle will you ride today?
The silent core of Stark VARG is the highly respected engine and power that can provide 80 horsepower (30% higher than any 450 horsepower) and twice the torque. The power transmission system is surrounded by Stark's production battery system, which is one of the most compact and "energy-intensive" battery systems in the world, with a capacity of less than 32 kg and a capacity of 6 kWh. The power unit is forged with advanced technology and concepts, such as the patent-pending magnesium honeycomb shell, the "slid finger" battery rack, the decompression system and the single-sided power plate with battery. Stark VARG's "flying V" system connects each battery directly to a sturdy waterproof housing. This brings high conductivity to the air-cooled structure. The result is a very uniform and regular battery temperature, eliminating unnecessary water or steam cooling weight. The full charge range is similar to the 450 with a full tank.
Lightweight is the key to the vivid handling of Stark VARG. With a weight of 110 kg, this bike has the best power-to-weight ratio in any model from any dealer. The chassis structure uses the engine as a structural component, allowing Stark Future to build the world's lightest off-road motorcycle frame. The composition of the frame (and carbon fiber segments) brings the correct combination of lateral, vertical and torsional bending and a lower center of gravity to optimize the output of the Stark VARG on the terrain. This bike is unique. Its corners and turns benefit from a slim, sporty ergonomic design (say goodbye to air tanks, radiators and fuel tanks) and redesigned plastics to reduce weight. Japanese suspension experts KAYABA and Technical Touch need no introduction, the 310 mm stroke setting can be adjusted between seven different inventory settings according to the rider's size and body shape.
Looking around Stark VARG, some details will attract attention. What about innovative smartphones and dashboard enclosures that allow full preferences to be set? How about the patent-pending ultra-sturdy "floating" double composite anti-skid plate, which does not require the lower part of the frame and provides the best protection? Or wheels equipped with CNC-machined 6082 T6 aluminum wheels, 7050 T6 rims, Italian-made high-grade steel spokes and Pirelli MX32 tires? Then there is an innovative chain adjuster "click system" (eliminating the need for measurement) and a flush shaft and bolt combination to provide more effective contour and protection. Even Stark VARG pedals are special: the parts are cast from a special stainless steel alloy, which is 40% stronger than titanium or chrome steel, and they are lighter than any off-road motorcycle pedals. The installation process is also very simple, because Stark no longer needs a lock pin.
The industry has set benchmarks for internal combustion engine motorcycles and is focusing on tiny incremental steps every year. Stark Future has blown this outdated and environmentally "unfriendly" standard off the track. The company hopes to let off-road motorcycles "get rid of the norm", and analyze and exceed every measurement standard.
Stark VARG is priced competitively, priced at 11,900 Euros. Motorcycles can be ordered through the Stark Future website or through selected participating dealers. www.starkfuture.com.
“It is a very proud moment for us to finally start talking and showing Stark VARG,” said Anton Wass, CEO and co-founder of Stark Future. "As cross-country motorcyclists and fans, we know that the sport is in a chronic state and we lose tracks in Europe every week. It feels like cross-country motorcycles are going backwards, and the innovative potential of electric vehicles is rapidly moving forward. Our motivation stems from frustration with the scene and the need to contribute something that helps our world and surrounding environment. So far, this has been a wonderful journey, and it is great to see that Stark VARG has exceeded our expectations. From business From a point of view, we also want to set the standard for off-road motorcycles, because before we continue to produce a full range of road and off-road motorcycles, this is the most difficult challenge to materials and technical concepts. Riders will love the full potential of Stark VARG And the "clean" and relaxing fun it provides. Our goal is to produce more environmentally friendly and better products, and we think anyone who tries to ride a bicycle will agree that we have achieved our vision."
"When I jumped on Stark VARG for the first time, it was a step towards the unknown. The first impression came from the downright performance; it was much more than I expected," the test director, former world champion and AMA off-road motorcycle Car champion Sebastien Tortelli (Sébastien Tortelli) commented. "In terms of suspension and chassis, I immediately felt at home. This is a real off-road motorcycle. I have to understand electricity. I am surprised at how fast I can adapt and the joy of riding. We have done a lot of development work on the chassis. Balanced and flexible. Light weight means you can really easily move around it and attack those jumps and parts. I feel great on the track, I can race with this bike, and that’s our goal. Ride quietly Walking is an amazing experience! You can hear the way the bike gains traction, the impact of the stones and the jumping. It’s an amazing feeling."
"First of all, Stark VARG is one of the most beautiful bikes I have ever seen!" said Josh Hill, Stark Future ambassador and former AMA supercross champion. "This is probably the most sensitive power I feel on a bike. The designers did a great job of chassis and ergonomics from the beginning. There is almost nothing that can be adjusted. I also like the "one size fits all" idea: Few people with off-road vehicle experience can feel safe and have fun—especially compared to trying to get their minds around the new 250 or 450—but then serious racers or free-riders can make it as they please Explosive. The possibilities of Stark VARG are endless. Once you ride an electric bike, it will be different."
Stark Future is a multinational company, founded in 2019, with Swedish descent, but located on the edge of Barcelona. Taking full advantage of Catalonia's reputation as one of the “hot spots” for off-road cycling in Europe, Stark Future is able to form a dedicated, enthusiastic and knowledgeable team from the elites in the motorcycle and power electronics industries. They quickly began work on the first model of the ambitious catalog of next-generation electric motorcycles. Stark VARG is the result. The highly advanced technology has been dutifully developed in the company's factory, where the robotic assembly line will produce Stark VARG and the models to be ordered. Stark VARG itself is a powerful definition of company values. Stark Future wants to challenge the conventions, improve the way of doing things, find the limits, adapt and set clear, smart and inspiring goals, and ultimately deliver outstanding results.
