So rad seeing more and more people realize how sick electric is for motocross. I've been on E since 2018. Even modern 450's feel ancient after riding a Stark or Alta.

That small difference could be way over 10+ seconds of time on a full mx track over a full race.

The stark vibrates a lot less, so that likely contributes to why he feels smoother and faster on it.

He’s back no way
Anyone there insane vid props to Josh’s riding

[axnax]

Great riding there. Consistent and fast. Really interesting back to back time comparisons.
So useful.

It’s interesting how history repeats itself, electric is to gas what a 4 stroke is to a 2 stroke, more rideable, smoother, and heavier. Only difference is electric and 2 strokes have more power potential

Love seeing the Stark, like most of us I am fascinated by the Stark.

Both killer bikes....but only one has a beating heart

Love it, thank you for the review. I have 35 hours on mine and loving it. Still love my gas bikes for hard enduro, but for fast single track, the Varg is more fun !!

Another cool video! Back to back comparisons are a great way to get a feel for the different characteristics of each bike. Cool you added lap times too! The Varg is such a different riding experience with instant acceleration and the simplicity of throttle and brake only!

[darealbushwookie]

so from what he says without saying it was the stark would use less body energy to controll as the trottle range is more responsive? one question no one asks them is what feels like if its less strenuious to ride.

[adamcook]

Wow this was incredible, perfect way to test each bike man and well done with the editing. Geez l actually want an electric motorbike. Never thought id say that 😂

[steves]

The KTM can do that all day long, as long as you bring enough gas.

You have to take the Stark Varg home to charge it after two hours of riding time.

[ThrillridersMX]

Stark vargs are so cool but I still prefer the good old petrol powered dirt bike but anyway grate vid I love watching them don’t ever stop pls 😊

[notagain]

The death of all motor sports. The dentist drill! ZZZzssss!

[rawcircoking]

I think to me, "maintenance " or replacing battery. Is where you spend more.

[jigglypuff]

Stark Varg is such a beast, I would love to see more people buying and riding it.

Remember when you were a little kid, and you had an RC car which gave so much fun for a few minutes but just as you found a cool hill climb or jump the battery started to run down and you had to hook it up to a charger for a couple hours. Later you discovered nitro/petrol cars and were blown away with the fact it seemed to run at full power right up until it was out of juice. It felt like cheating when it did eventually run out and you just had to add a squirt of liquid to continue where you left off. Yeah, we're still there in 2024 except the RC cars and bikes are full scale.

hi, how many horsepower were you driving it with?

[marctobey]

Needs cards in the spokes or something. Just a wrong cheesy sound. Maybe a blue tooth speaker with real engine sound lol
