CHASSIS

During the VARG MX 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. For the VARG SM we took this knowledge and tweaked the geometry for supermoto specific usage by changing the offset, suspension length, spring rate, travel and valving to achieve the perfect balance between comfort and performance.

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 VARG SM uses the same frame as the VARG MX1.2 -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.

SUSPENSION

Experience the sensation of ultimate grip and control —the VARG SM Kayaba suspension was developed together with the experts at Technical Touch and put to the test on track to give you the best out-of-the box suspension on the market.

REAR AXLE

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.

CHAIN AND SPROCKETS
