Stark Launches VARG SM, a Street-Legal Electric Supermoto With Up to 80 HP

Built for city runs or kart tracks, the bike features a structural 7.2 kWh battery, race-spec hardware, plus an Android tuning display.

Overview

  • Orders are open now through more than 500 dealers and Stark’s website, with two trims priced at $12,900 for the 60 hp Standard and $13,900 for the 80 hp Alpha.
  • Stark claims a 124.5 kg (275 lb) curb weight, up to 80 hp, and 914 Nm at the rear wheel, positioning the bike as class-leading in power-to-weight.
  • The 7.2 kWh honeycomb magnesium pack is structural, with a WMTC-rated range of roughly 81 km (50 miles) and a 3.3 kW portable charger that refills in 1–2 hours.
  • Supermoto-focused components include KYB suspension, a high-strength steel frame with forged aluminum subframe, Brembo radial brakes, and Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires with alternative options.
  • The Arkenstone Android display enables ride-mode tuning, GPS navigation, OTA updates, and live data, while street-legal status in Europe, the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand—plus A1 compliance in some areas—is reported from company claims.
