New 2025 Stark VARG EX – Electric Power Meets Street Legality
Stark Future has officially launched the 2025 VARG EX, a groundbreaking electric motorcycle that combines the high-performance DNA of their motocross VARG with road-legal functionality. The EX stands out as a dual-purpose machine built for riders who want the thrill of trail riding and the freedom of riding on public roads—all without the noise, emissions, or maintenance of a traditional gas-powered bike.
⚡ Performance & Power
At the heart of the VARG EX is an ultra-compact, liquid-cooled electric motor available in two variants:
-
Standard: 60 horsepower
-
Alpha version: 80 horsepower
The EX’s electric motor delivers immediate torque and rapid acceleration, rivaling—and in many cases surpassing—the power-to-weight ratio of top-tier 450cc enduro bikes. Its motor can rev up to 14,200 RPM and outputs over 900 Nm of torque at the rear wheel, giving it incredible thrust whether you’re climbing hills, carving through corners, or zipping through city streets.
🔋 Battery & Range
The VARG EX is powered by a 7.2 kWh battery that has been redesigned for better efficiency and structural integration. The battery range varies based on terrain and riding style:
-
Up to 6 hours of trail riding in eco or balanced modes
-
Around 1 to 1.5 hours in full-throttle, high-power conditions (e.g., competitive MX or enduro)
Charging time is around 1 to 2 hours using a 220V fast charger, making it practical for daily use or weekend adventures.
🧱 Chassis & Suspension
Stark has crafted the VARG EX’s frame from ultra-lightweight steel, tuned to allow controlled flex for optimized handling. A carbon fiber rear subframe helps reduce weight while increasing rigidity.
-
Front Suspension: 48mm KYB closed-cartridge fork with 300mm of travel
-
Rear Suspension: KYB linkage system with 303–310mm travel, fully adjustable
-
Wheels: 21-inch front and 18-inch rear with optional tubed or tubeless setups
With its low center of gravity and refined geometry, the bike handles nimbly on both technical trails and city roads.
🛞 Street-Ready Features
Unlike its off-road-only sibling, the VARG EX includes everything you need for legal street riding:
-
LED headlight with 4000-lumen brightness
-
Turn signals integrated into the handlebar guards
-
Brake light, license plate bracket, and horn
-
Handlebar-mounted rear brake lever option (in addition to the foot brake)
These features are seamlessly integrated into the bike’s minimalist design, giving it the look of a pure off-roader while meeting road regulations in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and some U.S. states.
📱 Smart Ride Technology
One of the standout features of the VARG EX is its Arken display—a smartphone-like, removable screen mounted on the bars. This acts as a control center and ride tracker, offering:
-
Custom ride mode adjustment (up to 100+ profiles)
-
Real-time telemetry (G-forces, lean angles, altitude, GPS)
-
Map-based navigation
-
OTA software updates
With this level of tuning and connectivity, riders can customize the bike’s power curve, regenerative braking, traction control, and throttle response in seconds.
📏 Dimensions & Ergonomics
-
Seat Height: Approx. 990 mm
-
Weight: Approx. 120 kg (264 lbs), competitive with 250–450cc gas bikes
-
Ground Clearance: Up to 368 mm
-
Wheelbase: Around 1488 mm
-
Rake/Trail: Optimized for agility and off-road precision
Despite its electric nature, the bike feels familiar to anyone who’s ridden a high-performance enduro or MX machine.
💰 Price & Availability
The 2025 VARG EX is expected to begin deliveries in early to mid-2025. Pricing starts around:
-
$12,900 USD / €12,900 for the Standard version
-
$13,900 USD / €13,900 for the Alpha 80HP version
Given its build quality, tech stack, and dual-use capability, the price is competitive with high-end petrol enduro bikes.
✅ Why the VARG EX Stands Out
-
Fully street-legal electric enduro
-
Up to 80 HP of instant torque
-
No clutch, gearbox, or engine maintenance
-
One of the lightest in its category
-
Tunable ride experience through app and screen
-
Durable, eco-friendly design with reduced lifetime costs
