BUCK CITY BIKER

If you thought electric off-road bikes were still on the outside looking in, Stark Future just gave you two hard reasons to rethink that. In the past 2 1/2 weeks, the Barcelona-based outfit pushed its VARG platform into territory most internal-combustion bikes would choke on — literally — and opened a new chapter in hard enduro competition by earning entry into the legendary Red Bull Erzbergrodeo for 2026.

Spain-based Stark Future is scaling up. Riding high off the VARG MX and EX, the company has dropped a teaser on two new street-legal models that take the 800cc class head-on, without the weight, noise, or maintenance baggage of petrol engines.

The e-dirt scene is having a busy summer, with two big names in the off-road sector dropping significant updates. From France to Spain, the latest releases show just how far e-motos have come in capability, design, and outright ambition.
