We just dropped a new video on our channel where we take a deep dive into what this electric enduro bike is really about. Not just the specs — but real rider impressions, pro-level feedback, and the ups and downs of going electric in a sport built on gas and grit.
More Power Than a 450cc, No Gears to Shift
The Stark VARG is no toy. With 80 horsepower and instant torque, it actually beats most 450cc gas bikes in straight-up power.
It’s light (about 110kg), customizable via smartphone, and completely silent — which takes some getting used to, but it grows on you.
Taddy Blazusiak’s Bold Move (and Why He Left)
One of the wildest parts of the video? We talk about Taddy Blazusiak, a true legend in the sport, and his big switch to Stark Future.
He helped develop the VARG, raced it at the highest level, and said things like:
“This bike makes you rethink everything you know about riding.”
But not everything went to plan.
The bike was banned at first, then restricted by FIM. After a crash and tough results, Taddy recently announced he’s leaving the team — and he’s not racing the VARG anymore.
He also addressed the incident with Tim Apolle during the German GP and apologized publicly.
It’s unclear if this is the end of his racing career, but it’s definitely a big shift in the electric enduro story.
So… Is This the Future?
Battery life? Up to 6 hours on a chill ride.
Charging? Around 1–2 hours with a fast charger.
Ride feel? Smooth, quiet, fast — and you can tune it however you like.
The tech is still evolving, and not every race accepts electric bikes yet. But change is happening. Fast.
What Do You Think?
Can an electric bike like the VARG replace your gas bike? Or is it just something different?
We’d love to hear what you think in the comments — and if you haven’t already, check out the full video to see the bike in action.
