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.

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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSUSPENSION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExperience 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoasting 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith 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.
