Saying ‘goodbye’ to components such as the front radiator and the exhaust allows the ergonomics of the Stark VARG to be chiseled to perfection. We have designed and engineered the bodywork to give you the best handling and control, enabling you to ride longer, with less effort.

We define our design language as “Performance, Human art”. The performance aspect refers to the honest design with visibly optimized engineering. Human art, our ambition to create a natural, organic and muscular shape, defining “muscle, tension and flow”. Our desire was not only to make the VARG fast, but also beautiful.


  • Design language defined as “Performance, Human art”.
  • Removal of front radiators & exhaust.
  • Optimized ergonomics – chiseled to perfection.
  • Better handling and control, longer riding, with less effort.

  • Remove bodywork quickly, 7 bolts in less than a minute.
  • 24 karat gold Stark Future logo on the carbon fiber top section symbolizes the full circle mentality of the company as well as our desire to become number 1.


The VARG houses the most potent power-to-weight ratio motor of any production motocross bike. Our carbon fiber sleeve motor runs on 360 nominal voltage, churning out 80hp and 9hp per kilogram. It delivers an incredible 275 Nm of torque on the counter shaft and 978 Nm on the rear wheel. The motor is designed and optimized to use more than 95% efficiency over the majority of the power range and benefits from a water-cooled aluminum casing that doubles as a structural part of the chassis. The inverter is integrated into the motor case in order to reduce mass and simplify the cooling process.



  • Stark Future invented the world's smallest inverter for 50-100kW power ranges with patent-pending technology.
  • Water cooled motor case that forms part of the structural chassis to minimize weight and volume.
  • Advanced processor power for algorithms to ensure reliability and safety.
  • 30% more peak power than a 450cc. 80hp and 978 Nm of torque on the rear wheel.
  • Highest power-to-weight ratio in the motorcycle industry.
  • Motor weighs only 9 kg.


The VARG 7.2kWh battery pack allows you to ride for up to 6 hours of trail riding or complete a full MXGP heat depending on rider ability and track conditions. A full recharge can be obtained in 1-2 hours depending on the charger and outlet. Using a patent-pending lightweight honeycomb magnesium case, the state of the art “Flying V” concept connects every cell directly to the casing, achieving efficient cooling and an exceptional capacity-to-weight ratio. 

 

  • Air cooled magnesium case.
  • Patented honeycomb-structure.
  • Patented “Slippery Fingers” cell holders.
  • Patented pressure relief system, achieving IP69K waterproofing.
  • Flying V layout to optimize the center of gravity and enhance agility.

  • Full recharge in 1-2 hours depending on the charger and outlet.
During the VARG MX 1.2 development we carefully benchmarked and analyzed the current best-performing motocross bikes and used some of the best athletes in the world for real life testing. 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 MX 1.2 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. Some of the world's most celebrated motocross athletes have 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 motocross frame in the world, weighing only 6,5 kg.

The Stark VARG MX 1.2 has 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.

Experience the sensation of flowing over rocks and obstacles—the VARG MX 1.2 Kayaba suspension was developed together with the experts at Technical Touch and some of the best motocross athletes in the world to give you the best out-of-the box suspension on the market. 

Boasting 310 mm of front travel and 303 mm of rear travel, with a linkage progression curve optimized for stability and comfort, you can expect perfect traction and a plush ride.

With 3 stock settings available you can select a suspension tailored to your weight and skill level, ensuring a bike perfectly suited to your riding style and weight. For faster riders, opt for one setting higher, while amateurs may prefer to go lower. Additionally, the VARG’s specific linkage mount provides an impressive 60 mm of additional ground clearance.

 

  • KAYABA/Technical Touch closed cartridge 310 mm travel front forks with an AOS damping system.
  • Light Kashima coated outer-tubes and niCr coated inner-tubes for minimized friction and maximum wear resistance.
  • 50 mm rear shock with 16mm niCr coated rod for the same low-friction efficiency and high durability.
  • Linkage progression curve is optimized for comfort and stability whilst improving traction.
  • Triple adjuster with low compression and rebound system. 303 mm of suspension travel in the rear as well for a balanced feel.

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. A top choice in MXGP and FIM Hard Enduro championships, it shares the sealing solution commonly used in the Moto3™ category of MotoGP™, offering 5% less friction for increased range and performance. Optimized rubber rings reduce vibration and plate friction, while the rear sprocket, machined from 7075 T6 aluminum, ensures the highest possible wear resistance. The front sprocket, forged from hardened steel, boasts an equally long lifespan.

The VARG features 6082 T6 aluminum fully CNC-machined wheel hubs, ensuring both superior strength and low weight. To complement the hubs we sourced the highest-grade steel spokes while 7050 T6 aluminum aero-grade rims complete the package. 

  • Forged and CNC-machined 6082 T6 hubs.
  • Highest-grade steel spokes.
  • 7050 T6 aluminum aero-grade rims.

The VARG´s handlebar is produced in aerospace spec 7075 T6 aluminum, renowned for its exceptional strength and durability. With a 28.6mm diameter and equipped with soft compound grips it provides optimal stability and control at all times. Conveniently placed within thumbs reach is our proprietary CNC aluminum map switch, allowing you instant access to your favorite power modes.

The VARG’s charger is included in the purchase of your motorcycle. It comes with a fast-charging plug for a standard 220V power socket and delivers 3.3 kW of charging power enabling a full battery charge in less than 2 hours. An adapter for a 110v socket can be acquired separately.

Revolutionary light skid plate featuring a low-density foam for high impact absorption. The skid plate acts as a shield for the powertrain whilst also helping to protect the rider. When casing a jump the impact absorption foam drastically reduces the impact on the rider’s ankles over a traditional frame, as the foam will absorb the impact while the traditional frame stays stiff. The patent-pending ‘floating’ skid plate also enables vast weight savings by removing the need for a lower frame.
The VARG handguards are developed for maximum protection, durability and minimum weight, in fact they are the lightest motorcycle handguards in the world. The shape is not only beautiful in design, but ideal for deflecting roost, branches and bushes, making sure your hands are protected at all times. The one-piece design further enhances durability by eliminating fragile brackets, reducing the risk of breakage.
