The Best Dirt Bike Is.. ELECTRIC??

Спорт

First ride on the Stark Varg!
► Previous Video: • This Track is TOO GOOD!

______________________________________________________
There's been a ton of debate surrounding this bike. Some think it's the death of dirt bikes as we know it; others think it's the greatest machine ever created. Today, I finally got to try the Stark Varg :)
I'll let the video speak for itself, but it does feel completely different than any gas dirt bike I've ridden. Between the handle-mounted rear brake, no engine gyro and fully adjustable power, it definitely threw me for a loop.
I got to test it on all of the tracks STF (Southern Training Facility) has to offer. We got some vet action, main sand track, and even some top secret supercross experience ;)

    Brutal ending there Jay but glad you weren't hurt. The Stark engineers win on the power of the face plant switch. The brakes are set up like Aussie mountain bikes and some European bikes, rear on the left, front on the right. That thing has some serious grunt. Rest up Jay, ride another day, you earned it.

    My Stark is always in 350F equivalent power. I leave it there. It crushes everything at my local track at that powered setting. Anything above that I get sloppy and it ends up crushing me. Plus in that setting, I get longer Motos. On the trails, I like the power and engine breaking equivalent to A modded 250 two-stroke setting. There is so much you can change on the settings to make it work for you. Once they add full AI control that reads how you ride and automatically changes settings to optimize for faster lap times it's going to be a cheat code. There is already a company from Italy working on an electronically controlled suspension that runs off AI that reads the track conditions and riders' style and makes adjustments to produce faster lap times. It can be implemented in the Stark Varge computer and other computer-controlled motorcycles that will have AI capability. It is becoming more common now with new electric bike releases. The future is getting crazy and it's already here. We are lucky to be alive in these times. Except for Joe Biden. Which I wish never existed. lol

    I didn’t really try any whips because I didn’t have time to get comfortable with the launches 😂 Didn’t notice anything too different though. Just that if you pinned it to straighten things out like on a 450 or something, you do end up straight but it also brings your front wheel wayyyy up. Have to be careful not to rev too much

    Electric stuff is cool. There just needs to be paid more attention to the sound. There's no reason why there can't be acoustic elements to the motor that has no other purpose than to emit a sound by disrupting air. RC car sounds just aren't cool. There are ways to turn rotation into sound.

    It has kind of grown on me. Nothing like the bark of a 450 but I’m starting to correlate the electric whirring with power😂

    I said it in the video, but I think these are only going to grow the sport as they improve and become more affordable.

    @@jaydalton Well he just wants to be noisy and make it harder to ride the bikes in new places or open tracks. I totally agree with you that any improvement is going to improve everyones' lives in the sport.
