2026 Stark VARG EX 60 hp

FEATURES:

CHAIN AND SPROCKETS

The RK MXU UW-ring Gold 520 chain is known for its exceptionally strong and narrow build with the highest tensile strength in the market. A top choice in MXGP and FIM Hard Enduro championships, it shares the sealing solution commonly used in the Moto3™ category of MotoGP™, offering 5% less friction for increased range and performance. Optimized rubber rings reduce vibration and plate friction, while the rear sprocket, machined from 7075 T6 aluminum, ensures the highest possible wear resistance. The front sprocket, forged from hardened steel, boasts an equally long lifespan.

CHARGER

The VARG's charger is included in the purchase of your motorcycle. It comes with a fast-charging plug for a standard220V power socket and delivers 3.3 kW of charging power enabling a full battery charge in less than 2 hours. An adapter for a 110v socket can be acquired separately.

CHASSIS

During the VARG EX development we carefully benchmarked and analyzed the current best-performing enduro bikes. This methodology led us to craft a chassis that provides the ideal amount of vertical, lateral, and torsional flex to give a predictable, stable, and comfortable ride. The VARG EX frame features a significant improvement by increased vertical frame flex in the rear shock mount area and an improved lateral flex in the front area of the chassis. This leads to a plusher feel, better cornering grip and control. One of the world's best enduro riders, and 6x world champion Taddy Blazusiak put the chassis through the most extreme testing conditions, helping Stark achieve the best performance, comfort and durability. And thereby giving you a better ride.

The Stark VARG features a low, optimized center of gravity near the rider's lower leg position, making the bike feel significantly lighter and more agile. This design ensures optimal weight distribution, delivering an unmatched featherweight riding experience. Drawing on expertise from engineers, designers, and renowned motorcycle designer Tony Foale, the team developed an ultralight tubular chromoly steel frame. Balancing exceptional flex and strength, this frame is the lightest enduro frame in the world, weighing only 6 kg.

The aluminum subframe uses straight tubular pipes and forged connections for the best compromise between weight, strength and resistance.

Integrated forged and machined lift handles, to reinforce the construction and provide a very comfortable and practical handle for lifting and positioning the bike.

Mid-mount linkage bracket on the swingarm permits a boost of 60mm ground clearance compared to competitors. Advanced aluminum casting technology of the swingarm means even more weight savings compared to competitors. Carbon fiber front subframe to contain the front spoiler assembly and seat unit, streamlining ergonomics without unnecessary or unwanted flex. This also serves as a funnel to direct airflow to the battery, motor and radiator located under the seat.

7075 T6 forged and CNC machined aluminum triple clamps with a superb weight-to-strength ratio and optimized flex characteristics.

DESIGN

Saying 'goodbye' to components such as the front radiator and the exhaust allows the ergonomics of the Stark VARG to be chiseled to perfection. We have designed and engineered the bodywork to give you the best handling and control, enabling you to ride longer, with less effort. We define our design language as "Performance, Human art". The performance aspect refers to the honest design with visibly optimized engineering. Human art, our ambition to create a natural, organic and muscular shape, defining "muscle, tension and flow". Our desire was not only to make the VARG fast, but also beautiful.

REAR AXLE

The VARG's rear axle and swingarm feature two remarkable innovations. Firstly, an advanced chain adjuster for precise and accurate chain adjustment. The adjuster block incorporates a spring and shaft, which at every 90 degrees rotation gives you an audible click feedback. Using a hex driver you can easily turn the same number of clicks on each side and perfectly align your wheel with optimal chain tension.

Stepping it up another notch we introduced a flush rear axle design that eliminates protruding nuts and bolts that can possibly catch on ruts, dirt or rocks -reducing risk while enhancing your riding experience and handling.

SKIDPLATE

Revolutionary light skid plate featuring a low-density foam for high impact absorption. The skid plate acts as a shield for the powertrain whilst also helping to protect the rider. When casing a jump the impact absorption foam drastically reduces the impact on the rider's ankles over a traditional frame, as the foam will absorb the impact while the traditional frame stays stiff. The patent-pending 'floating' skid plate also enables vast weight savings by removing the need for a lower frame.

SUSPENSION

Experience the sensation of flowing over rocks and obstacles-the VARG EX Kayaba suspension was developed together with the experts at Technical Touch and enduro legend Taddy Blazusiak to give you the best out-of-the box suspension on the market.

Boasting 300 mm of front travel and 303 mm of rear travel, with a linkage progression curve optimized for stability and comfort, you can expect perfect traction and a plush ride. With 3 stock settings available you can select a suspension tailored to your weight and skill level, ensuring a bike perfectly suited to your riding style and weight. For faster riders, opt for one setting higher, while amateurs may prefer to go lower. Additionally, the VARG's specific linkage mount provides an impressive 60 mm of additional ground clearance.
