It’s The Sound of Silence – The World’s Fastest Motocross Bike is Now Electric
The Stark VARG is the first electric motorcycle to be the performance leader within its category. The new model will reorientate the industry with its patent-pending technology and design features, to inspire riders and racers towards sustainability. In order to outperform traditional technology, the Stark VARG has been developed from the ground-up, building the power train and chassis to work perfectly together and optimizing every component for its purpose. It is physical proof that an electric motocross bike can outperform combustion-engine equivalents in every single way.
Background
Stark Future was established in the first months of 2019 with Swedish roots and from founders with an immensely successful commercial presence in motocross and the motorcycle industry. Stark Future counts on an international foundation of staff and specialists from its base, on the doorstep of the progressive and forward-thinking city: Barcelona. Stark Future was forged from a passion to innovate and to change the way we use and interact with motorcycles. The company investigates and develops the latest technical solutions for performance, mobility, function, battery power and sustainability.
Purpose
Stark Future’s primary ambition is to design, develop and manufacture cutting-edge electric motorcycles to push boundaries of performance and set new standards for sustainability in the industry. Stark Future will swiftly become a reference in the off-road motorcycling sector: a segment that will be leading the charge in electric motorcycle progression.
Stark means ‘strong’ in Swedish: an attribute also symbolized by the Stark Future 24K gold ring, an icon representing a bold, full circle mentality, sustainability, and perfection.
Technology
Stark Future’s first serial production motorcycle is the Stark VARG: the lightest, most powerful motocross bike in the world. The demands and requirements of off-road riding mean the Stark VARG has to be the most advanced, most durable, versatile and fun offer in the category, all the while paying full respect to the environment and conditions in which the bike is being used.
The Stark VARG is a beacon for some of the benchmark and patent-pending technology the company will bring to the market:
- Ground-breaking motor, cooling and battery architecture
- A class leading powertrain of 80hp at 9hp per kilogram
- Ultra-small and light chassis concept with use of premium materials such as carbon fiber, magnesium, and aero craft grade aluminum
- Smartphone dash and motorcycle set-up APP
- Bodywork that prioritizes ergonomics, comfort and performance
- Advanced suspension solutions from specialists KAYABA
- A ride anywhere, anytime concept thanks to low maintenance, long lasting battery with zero emissions and no noise
Stark Future is committed to a wide and versatile product range based on several of the technical milestones achieved with the Stark VARG.
Motocross
Swedish founder Anton Wass and his Co-founder Paul Saucy both began motocross and off-road riding at a very young age, both powered by determination, perseverance, and relentless self-improvement. A hobby and a passion soon became a successful business and then a forceful desire to use their recreation and achievements for positive change.
Expansion and next steps
While Stark Future continues to innovate, it remains true to its core ethos: pushing the boundaries to develop and create sustainable products that will outperform current non-sustainable options. Stark Future wants to contribute to creating a cleaner, healthier planet, where life is enriched and better for everyone, both today and in the future. Whilst producing advanced technology and products is a central attribute, the company’s ultimate goals are sustainability and the ongoing exploration of technical innovation. The company is powered by the pursuit to find new frontiers and create vehicles, solutions and experiences for people who want the ultimate in performance, design, convenience and emotion.
