    Stark Motorcycles Unveils Ambitious Roadmap: From Supermotos to Adventure Bikes and Beyond

    Stark Motorcycles, the Spanish electric motorcycle innovator, has revealed its bold vision for the future. Already the fastest-growing Spanish company in history—and growing faster than giants like Tesla in its early years—Stark isn’t slowing down. The company’s goal is simple yet daring: to become one of the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturers, producing and selling millions of bikes per year.

    Beyond Motocross: Expanding the Stark Vision

    Stark initially made its mark with electric motocross machines, but the brand’s ambition stretches far beyond the dirt. Today, Stark is preparing to reshape the global motorcycle market across multiple categories, from street bikes and adventure machines to ATVs and lightweight commuter models.

    The Stark Motorcycle Roadmap

    1. Stark SM: Street-Focused Supermoto

    Launching soon, the Stark SM is a street-legal, ultra-light, and super-powerful supermoto. It marks the company’s first major step into the road bike category, signalling that Stark is much more than a motocross brand.

    2. Stark ÄLG: The Electric Adventure Bike

    The Stark ÄLG adventure bike is currently in development but almost near completion, targeting the European market in the 800cc equivalent class. Key highlights include:

    • 50% more power at a lower weight than competitors.
    • Ultra-fast charging—faster than a coffee break.
    • Extended range designed to outlast rider endurance.

    Stark believes this machine has the potential to become the bestselling adventure motorcycle in the world.

    4. Stark Gimly: The Global Platform

    Perhaps Stark’s most ambitious project is the Gimly platform, aimed at the massive Asian market for the lower capacity motorcycle and scooter market. Targeting the 100cc–500cc category, Gimly is designed to deliver:

    • Aggressive pricing while outperforming gas competitors.
    • Super-lightweight adventure and street bikes.
    • Charging as quick as filling a fuel tank.

    The goal? To make Gimly the bestselling motorcycle platform in the world, with millions of units per year.

    5. Lightweight Freeride and Kit Bikes

    Stark is also exploring freeride and youth kit bikes, including an electric equivalent to 85cc motocross machines—a segment untouched by electric innovation. These bikes promise to deliver affordability, quality, and performance for younger riders and entry-level enthusiasts.

    6. Stark ATV: Electric Utility and Power

    The roadmap also includes a revolutionary ATV built on the Ali’s powertrain. Designed to outperform leading ATVs, it will feature:

    • Plan is to use the powertrain from the ÄLG
    • More power and range than competitors.
    • Super-fast charging.
    • Ability to charge and run power tools and accessories directly from the ATV.
    • Pricing within 10% of today’s bestselling ATVs.

    7. Hyperbike Projects: Formula 1-Level Engineering

    Stark is even venturing into hyperbike territory, working with a dedicated team of Formula 1 and hypercar engineers. These projects aim to achieve “ridiculous” levels of performance at competitive costs, pushing the limits of electric motorcycle engineering.

    A 400-Person Company with a Global Mission

    With over 400 employees, including 100 dedicated to R&D, Stark Motorcycles is investing heavily in design, engineering, and production. The mission is clear:

    • Redefine electric motorcycles across every category.
    • Deliver faster, lighter, and more powerful bikes.
    • Achieve charging times that rival filling a gas tank.

    Conclusion: Stark Motorcycles Is Redefining the Future

    From motocross dominance to the upcoming launch of the SM supermoto, and groundbreaking projects like the ÄLG adventure bike and Gimly commuter platform, Stark is positioning itself as a true global leader. If its vision comes to life, the future of motorcycling may very well be electric—and Stark Motorcycles intends to lead the charge.


  • Stark Unveils VARG MX 1.2 – A Smarter, Wilder, All-Electric Dirt Bike That Rips

    Stark Unveils VARG MX 1.2 – A Smarter, Wilder, All-Electric Dirt Bike That Rips

    Back in 2021, Stark Future dropped a bombshell on the motocross world – the VARG. An electric dirt bike that didn’t just whisper eco-friendly, but screamed performance. People either thought Stark was mad or made up. But fast-forward to today, they’ve got 70+ countries riding their wave, 500+ dealerships, and a massive fanbase. And now? Meet the Stark VARG MX 1.2 – smarter, tougher, and crazier than ever.

    This ain’t just another version. It’s a straight-up evolution. So let’s dive in and see why gas bikes should start sweating.

    Smarter Tech, Wilder Ride

    This ain’t your granddad’s dirt bike. The VARG MX 1.2 is wired like a high-performance fighter jet and tuned like a Swiss watch.

    The all-new Arkenstone display isn’t just an upgraded screen – it’s your control center. Mounted in a new lightweight clamp, it docks into the bike seamlessly and charges wirelessly. Undock it, and you’re holding a military-grade Android device in your hand. You can tweak your power delivery, analyze ride data, and even upload your ride to YouTube before your boots are off.

    Even the power delivery is next-level. Want it to feel like a 125 two-stroke? No problem. Prefer the smooth punch of a 450 four-stroke? Done. Engine braking, regen curves, throttle response – it’s all programmable. Switch between settings mid-lap or mid-air with the flick of a finger. It’s like having multiple bikes built into one.

    Battery Life – Range You Can Actually Trust

    Here’s where Stark absolutely flexes. The heart of the VARG is a 7.2 kWh battery that’s not just slapped onto the frame – it is part of the frame. Using a patented honeycomb magnesium case, it acts as a structural element while delivering power that’ll outlast most riders. With 20% more range than before, it performs like a full tank of gas – minus the mess, fumes, or noise.

    And it’s not just about bigger numbers. Stark’s engineers managed to increase usable energy, not just capacity. Combined with higher motor efficiency, you get more laps, more trail time, and less time staring at a charger. Speaking of which, it juices up in just two hours with a standard 240V outlet. Plug into 110V and it’ll take a bit longer, but still totally manageable.

    Maintenance Mode – Ride More, Wrench Less

    Let’s be honest: most of us don’t dream of wrenching on a Saturday. The VARG MX 1.2 gets that. With no piston, no clutch, no valve adjustments, and no air or oil filters to mess with, maintenance becomes a thing of the past. It’s about as complicated as a mountain bike, only it rips harder.

    Over 100 hours of ride time, you’re looking at a savings of around $5,000 in parts and service when compared to a traditional 450. That’s huge. And because there are fewer moving parts, the odds of something going wrong are way lower. It’s low maintenance, high reward – and if you need extra peace of mind, Stark throws in a 2-year full bike warranty, covering all manufacturing defects. Show me a gas bike that does that.

    Suspension & Ergonomics – Tuned for You, Not the Masses

    Stark isn’t building bikes for “most people.” They’re building them for you. That’s why the updated KYB suspension has been retuned with a revised mid-valve shim stack, offering a noticeably plusher and more balanced feel. Whether you’re hammering whoops or carving corners, it’s tuned to make you faster and more comfortable – not one or the other.

    But they didn’t stop there. When you order your VARG, you choose your spring rate based on your weight and riding style. No second-guessing, no aftermarket swaps, just suspension that works from the first ride. Even the seat options are dialed in: standard for freedom of movement, grip for a bit more hold, or the SuperGrip seat that locks you down like Velcro when the terrain gets wild. It’s all about matching the bike to you – not the other way around.

    New Chassis & Components – Engineering That Makes Sense

    This isn’t just a frame with parts bolted on. The VARG MX 1.2 is a total rethink of what a dirt bike should be. Stark used a new high-strength steel alloy to drop nearly a kilo from the frame while increasing flex – the good kind of flex that gives you more feedback and comfort without compromising stability. Lighter and stronger, this frame was built to be ridden hard and fast.

    Inside, the gearbox has been overhauled. By integrating the main gear and countershaft more tightly, they’ve cut down on internal tolerances, reduced weight, and even lowered drivetrain noise. It’s quieter, more efficient, and more responsive. But perhaps the real magic lies in the wiring harness – the first fully overmolded motorcycle harness in the world. No tape. No zip ties. No mystery gremlins. Just a sealed, waterproof system that eliminates one of the most common failure points on any bike.

    Even the skid plate got the Stark treatment. The patented dual-compound design uses biodegradable nylon over an impact-absorbing foam core. It’s lighter than traditional frame shoes and tougher than anything else on the track. Drop it, crash it, bash it – it’s built to take the hit and keep your powertrain safe.

    Brakes & Foot Controls – Set It Up Your Way

    Braking is personal. That’s why the VARG gives you options. Brembo brakes come standard – no compromises here – but you get to choose whether you want a rear hand brake (way more precise) or stick with the traditional foot brake. No right answer. Just your preference.

    They’ve even rethought the little things that matter. The rear disc protector is now part of the caliper mount, making the whole setup lighter and stronger. And the new chain adjuster is downright genius – click it into place with perfect symmetry, no measuring, no eyeballing, no wrench juggling. Just fast, accurate adjustments every time.

    Then there’s the flush axle bolt, replacing the old school 15mm nut that always found its way into a rut. It’s a small change, but if you’ve ever had your lap ruined by a snagged axle, you know it’s a big deal. Add in the world’s lightest OEM reinforced foot pegs (or go full madman with 3D-printed titanium ones) and you’ve got a control setup that’s lighter, smarter, and built for battle.

    Design That’s Pure Muscle

    Stark calls it Performance Human Art, and you’ll see why. No gas tank, no radiators, no exhaust – just a chiselled machine that’s all muscle, all flow.

    Even the plastic bodywork is lighter with 3D ripple textures and sustainable material choices. It pops off in under 30 seconds for easy access. Clean. Practical. Sexy.

    Sustainability Meets Savage Performance

    Stark isn’t just building bikes. They’re redefining motocross – quieter tracks, fewer emissions, and less waste, without giving up an ounce of thrill.

    This bike isn’t just green. It’s mean, and it’s converting skeptics one twist of the throttle at a time.

    Final Thoughts: Why VARG MX 1.2 Rocks

    If you’ve ever said electric can’t compete, the VARG MX 1.2 is here to prove you wrong — loud(ish) and clear. It’s faster, lighter, cleaner, and smarter. Whether you’re racing or just ripping trails on the weekend, this bike’s gonna make you fall in love with riding all over again.
