In development we carefully tested and analyzed the current best-performing motocross bikes. This methodology empowered us to craft a chassis that provides the ideal amount of vertical, lateral, and torsional flex in order to enable a predictable, stable, and comfortable ride.

The VARG features a low and optimized center of gravity very close to the rider's lower leg position. By having the center of gravity closer to you the actual weight will feel much lighter. The optimized weight distribution provides agility and a featherweight riding sensation. Ideas and experience from our engineers and designers as well as input from respected motorcycle designer Tony Foale allowed the team to produce the ultralight tubular chromoly steel structure. Maintaining the best flex and strength properties, the Stark VARG has the world's lightest motocross frame: less than 6 kg on the scales.

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.
