Stark Future has officially lifted the covers on two of its most exclusive electric motorcycles to date: the Stark VARG MX Factory Edition and the Stark VARG EX Factory Edition. Developed through years of testing and competition at the highest level of off-road racing, both models will be produced in strictly limited numbers worldwide.
Built on the already championship-winning VARG platform, the new Factory Editions focus on one objective: giving riders more confidence to extract even more performance from the motorcycle. Rather than simply adding cosmetic upgrades, Stark has introduced factory-level suspension, lighter components, improved traction, and race-proven refinements developed directly from its racing program.
Factory Suspension Straight from the Race Team
The biggest talking point is undoubtedly the suspension.
For the first time, a production motorcycle comes equipped with a complete KYB Factory A-Kit suspension package, featuring Kashima-coated components, DLC-coated internals, and race-developed settings that until now were typically reserved for factory race bikes.
According to Stark, the result is:
- More front-end grip
- Better precision through corners
- Increased stability under braking
- Greater rider confidence on all types of terrain
The MX version receives 310 mm of front suspension travel, while the EX Factory Edition features a dedicated enduro setup with 300 mm front travel. Both models share 303 mm of rear wheel travel.
Less Weight, More Control
Beyond the suspension, Stark focused heavily on reducing weight and improving rider feel.
Factory Edition highlights include:
- Individually numbered CNC-machined triple clamps
- 3D-printed titanium footpegs
- Titanium bolt kit saving over 900 grams
- High-grip seat
- Dynamic Traction Control integrated into riding modes
- Hand-operated rear brake (market dependent)
- 80 hp Alpha drivetrain
- Improved radiator fan mount
Combined, the titanium upgrades reduce the motorcycle’s weight by more than one kilogram, improving agility and responsiveness without increasing power.
Built for Motocross or Enduro
The two Factory Editions target different riders while sharing the same philosophy.
Stark VARG MX Factory Edition
The motocross version arrives in exclusive Stark Red Factory Edition graphics, paired with:
- 7.2 kWh battery
- Full KYB Factory A-Kit suspension
- Dunlop MX34 tyres
- Lightweight titanium components
Rather than chasing additional horsepower, Stark says the goal was to allow riders to use more of the existing performance with greater confidence.
Stark VARG EX Factory Edition
The enduro-focused version receives exclusive Forest Grey Factory Edition graphics together with:
- Enduro-specific KYB Factory suspension
- Dunlop Geomax EN91 tyres
- Front and rear disc protectors
- Handguards
- Full road homologation for legal road use
Designed for everything from technical singletrack and hard enduro to fast special tests, the EX Factory Edition combines race performance with everyday versatility.
Developed by Sébastien Tortelli
Stark Future Racing Director Sébastien Tortelli says every improvement comes directly from competition.
“The VARG already has the performance. With the Factory Editions, the focus was to give riders more grip, more precision, and more confidence to unlock more of that performance. These are built exactly how I would build my own.”
Only 500 Motorcycles Worldwide
Exclusivity is another key part of the package.
Stark Future will produce only:
- 200 VARG MX Factory Editions
- 300 VARG EX Factory Editions
making these some of the rarest VARG models ever built.
