This isn’t a lab experiment; it’s a machine refined through real feedback in over 50 countries. Through a dealer-supported testing and race program in 18 countries, paired with live input from Stark’s connected riding ecosystem, every detail of the 1.2 has been shaped by riders, from firmware logic and suspension feel to mechanical function & durability.
“Today marks a major milestone for Stark Future as we officially launch the all-new VARG MX 1.2 — a bold evolution of the bike that redefined performance,” said Neil Calvesbert, Stark Future President, North America. “Packed with significant upgrades and enhancements, the MX 1.2 takes everything we’ve built and pushes it even further… This is more than a release — it is a statement.”
Building on the global success of the original VARG MX, version 1.2 introduces advanced updates in powertrain, chassis design, and software features, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the Premium electric motorcycle industry.
At the heart of the VARG MX 1.2 is the Stark 80hp electric powertrain, outperforming any traditional 450cc motocross bike. What truly sets it apart is the fully adjustable power delivery, allowing riders to fine-tune output from 10hp to 80hp in real-time. Fine control over the power curve and motor braking ensures a ride that’s perfectly adapted to every rider, track, or terrain all at the tip of your fingers.
