During the VARG EX development we carefully benchmarked and analyzed the current best-performing enduro bikes. This methodology led us to craft a chassis that provides the ideal amount of vertical, lateral, and torsional flex to give a predictable, stable, and comfortable ride.

The VARG EX frame features a significant improvement by increased vertical frame flex in the rear shock mount area and an improved lateral flex in the front area of the chassis. This leads to a plusher feel, better cornering grip and control.

One of the world's best enduro riders, and 6x world champion Taddy Blazusiak put the chassis through the most extreme testing conditions, helping Stark achieve the best performance, comfort and durability. And thereby giving you a better ride.

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 enduro frame in the world, weighing only 6 kg.

Stark VARG has the world’s lightest enduro 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.
