The Stark VARG has gone Factory. And that's a bigger milestone than a new parts list.
Rather than unveiling an all-new bike, Stark has done what established motorcycle brands have done for years: refine a proven platform with a higher-spec factory model.

Refining a Winning Formula
Stark Future has unveiled Factory Editions of both the VARG MX and VARG EX, bringing a host of upgrades aimed at riders who want more performance straight from the showroom.
The changes focus on premium components rather than a complete redesign. Depending on the model, that means race-spec suspension, lighter titanium parts, revised chassis components and exclusive Factory Edition equipment designed to shave weight and improve performance on the track or trail.
When the VARG first launched, it set out to prove that an electric motocross bike could go head-to-head with its petrol rivals. Since then, Stark has won numerous titles, thrashed the competition, expanded the range with the road-legal VARG EX, continued to roll out software updates and built a growing reputation in competitive off-road riding.
The Factory Editions show Stark has entered the next stage of its journey.
Instead of chasing headlines with an all-new model, it's refining what many riders already consider the benchmark electric off-road platform. It's the same approach we've seen from mainstream manufacturers for decades: establish the bike, then offer higher-spec versions for riders who want the highest-spec version from day one.
For those who live for weekends on the dirt, it's an appealing proposition. For casual riders, the standard VARG likely already delivers more performance than most will ever need.
What's new on the VARG Factory Editions?
Full KYB Factory A-Kit suspension, including 48 mm closed-cartridge forks, Kashima coating and an X-Trig preload adjuster on the rear shock.
3D-printed titanium footpegs and a titanium bolt kit, trimming just over 1 kg from the bike.
Individually numbered CNC-machined triple clamps.
Dynamic Traction Control, giving riders more control over rear-wheel slip through the ride modes.
A high-grip factory seat.
Exclusive Factory Edition colours and graphics, with the MX finished in Stark Red and the EX in Forest Grey.
Limited production, with just 200 VARG MX and 300 VARG EX models being built worldwide.
The EX Factory Edition also gets:
Dunlop Geomax EN91 tyres
Front and rear disc protection
Handguards
Full road homologation
The MX Factory Edition gets:
Dunlop MX34 tyres
The BCB Take
The standard VARG has already proven itself as one of the most capable electric dirt bikes on the market. Unless you're chasing podiums or want the bragging rights that come with top-shelf components, your time in the dirt
is unlikely to look dramatically different.
What this launch really does is give riders more choice. If you've been waiting for a VARG with premium kit straight from the factory, Stark now has an answer. If not, you can throw a leg over the standard bike knowing you're not missing the bike's core appeal.
Ride safe, folks.
