In Europe the VARG requires an A1 driving license however in Spain, Italy, France and Portugal you can also legally ride it with your car license (B), making it even more accessible for new riders or those looking to switch to two wheels.
Your motorcycle will come with a Certificate of Conformity (COC), official proof that it complies with all regulatory requirements. This document streamlines the registration process in most countries, making it easier than ever to get your VARG SM road-ready. For the United States and Canada, we also include a Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin (MSO), ensuring you have everything you need to register your bike.
Please note that in some countries local taxes, import duties and any additional costs are not included in the price. These fees must be settled with your local vehicle registration authority before you can obtain your license plates.

The Stark VARG features a low, optimized center of gravity near the rider's lower leg position, making the bike feel significantly lighter and more agile. This design ensures optimal weight distribution, delivering an unmatched featherweight riding experience. Drawing on expertise from engineers, designers, and renowned motorcycle designer Tony Foale, the team developed an ultralight tubular chromoly steel frame. Balancing exceptional flex and strength, this frame is the lightest motocross frame in the world, weighing only 6,5 kg.
The VARG SM uses the same frame as the VARG MX1.2 -the world’s lightest motocross frame. The aluminum subframe uses straight tubular pipes and forged connections for the best compromise between weight, strength and resistance. Integrated forged and machined lift handles, to reinforce the construction and provide a very comfortable and practical handle for lifting and positioning the bike. Mid-mount linkage bracket on the swingarm permits a boost of 60mm ground clearance compared to competitors. Advanced aluminum casting technology of the swingarm means even more weight savings compared to competitors.
Carbon fiber front subframe to contain the front spoiler assembly and seat unit, streamlining ergonomics without unnecessary or unwanted flex. This also serves as a funnel to direct airflow to the battery, motor and radiator located under the seat. 7075 T6 forged and CNC machined aluminum triple clamps with a superb weight-to-strength ratio and optimized flex characteristics.

The VARG’s rear axle and swingarm feature two remarkable innovations.
Firstly, an advanced chain adjuster for precise and accurate chain adjustment. The adjuster block incorporates a spring and shaft, which at every 90 degrees rotation gives you an audible click feedback. Using a hex driver you can easily turn the same number of clicks on each side and perfectly align your wheel with optimal chain tension.
Stepping it up another notch we introduced a flush rear axle design that eliminates protruding nuts and bolts that can possibly catch on ruts, dirt or rocks -reducing risk while enhancing your riding experience and handling.
- Chain adjuster with clicks enables hassle free adjustment. You no longer need to use two wrenches, simply one hex.
- Flush rear axle nut reduces risk of getting caught in ruts.
The RK MXU UW-ring Gold 520 chain is known for its exceptionally strong and narrow build with the highest tensile strength in the market.
