Stark Gives the VARG a Factory Race Specification

Factory editions often stop at graphics. The Stark VARG Factory Edition goes considerably further, fitting full KYB Factory A-Kit suspension, lighter titanium hardware, and Dynamic Traction Control to limited MX and road-legal EX models.

Both versions pair Stark’s 80-hp ALPHA electric drivetrain with a 7.2-kWh battery. The principal upgrade is a Kashima-coated KYB Factory A-Kit developed from hardware used in MXGP and AMA competition.

Its 48 mm closed-cartridge fork incorporates hard-anodized internals, DLC-coated inner tubes, and a mid-speed valve, while the triple-adjustable rear shock adds an Xtrig preload adjuster. Buyers select soft, medium, or hard suspension tuning according to riding weight.

A titanium bolt kit and 3D-printed titanium footpegs cut more than 2.2 pounds, with the MX carrying a listed weight of 257.7 pounds. Both bikes also receive numbered CNC-machined triple clamps and a high-grip seat. Dynamic Traction Control integrates with the ride modes, while Stark’s connected tools support customizable 10-point curves for power, regenerative braking, and traction control alongside lap recording, navigation, offline maps, and GPX files.

The MX wears Stark Red graphics and Dunlop MX34 tires. The road-legal EX adopts Forest Grey bodywork, enduro-specific suspension tuning, Dunlop Geomax EN91 tires, hand guards, and front and rear disc protectors. These changes make the Factory Edition a meaningful extension of the original electric dirt-bike platform rather than a cosmetic package.

Production is limited to 200 MX and 300 EX examples worldwide. Prices are $15,990 and $16,990, respectively. Stark’s U.S. configurator currently marks the MX as out of stock, with notification signup available and estimated delivery in late November 2026.
