The BCB Take

Stark VARG MX

Stark Future didn't set out to build an electric alternative to a 450 motocross bike, it set out to build a better one. The VARG platform has reset expectations for electric off-road performance, combining race-winning power with a level of electronic adjustability that simply doesn't exist on a petrol bike.

Whether you choose the MX, MX Alpha, EX or EX Alpha comes down to where you ride, but every version shares the same DNA. The Alpha models unlock the full 80 hp potential of the platform, while the EX brings road legality and trail-ready equipment without sacrificing the performance that made the VARG the benchmark electric dirt bike.

Ride safe, folks.
