VOLUME 58 ISSUE 50 DECEMBER 14, 2021 P75
The Stark ("strong") VARG has been in
development for two years and boasts 80
horsepower compared to about 61 for the
most powerful 450cc MX bikes. The power
output and characteristics can be modified
via the on-bike smartphone dash or an app on
your phone. The battery is claimed to last for
up to 40 minutes of intense motocross use
or six hours of recreational riding. And it
will take 1-2 hours to recharge.
The entire bike and chassis were developed
in-house and uses the motor as a stressed
member. Claimed weight is 242 pounds,
which puts it in the lower range of the current
crop of 450cc MX bikes with a full tank of fuel.
The VARG uses Kayaba suspension and
Brembo brakes.
The VARG is expected to be available in
September 2022 with a price tag of $11,900.
