RYAN NITZEN
Age: 27
Riding Done This Year:
Countless days at the
motocross track, getting my
motorcycle license, off-road
racing, weekend trips and
starting my ADV addiction
RYAN'S WINNER:
STARK VARG
Of every bike I've ridden this
year, the Stark Varg takes
top honors as my favorite. I
chose the Varg based on the
overall riding experience and
the cool factor of the newest
electric bike.
In no way am I pushing
the electric "agenda" here. It
probably isn't even the best
performing nor the fastest
bike I rode this year, but the
new-ness and technology
are what really stood out to
me. It was my first time on an
electric bike and the ride ex-
perience was unlike anything
I thought it would be. Riding
with no engine sound took
way longer to get used to than
I expected. I have a "rising
tides floats all ships" mental-
ity and think that more options
and more competition is good
for our industry.
