Fun Bikes: Stark Varg
WORDS: Kris Keefer // PHOTOS: SIMON CUDBY
The pre-orders of the Stark Varg are finally being filled and customers are out getting theirs as you read this! I had the chance to ride the Stark Varg (with 80 horsepower) and it reminded me of riding the Alta Redshift but with more power and better suspension! If you have never ridden an electric motorcycle before, you’re missing out. The feeling you get is a little confusing as your brain is telling you it’s a mountain bike, but all the feelings you get is that of a dirt bike. Some of the benefits of the Stark Varg over a standard combustion engine dirt bike is you can concentrate on your technique more, you can corner better because there is no shifting or fanning of the clutch, and you can ride in places you may not be able to with a normal dirt bike.
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
