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 ;)

Let the electric vs. gas comment war begin 🔥
There is no war... Electric is objectively better. We all know that intelligent people (like your subscribers) are aware that facts always trump opinion... :D
No Kickstart = not a real dirtbike🤷♂️ i don't make the rules
If a bicycle has electrons in it you're not a real rider. Protons only!!
@@ryandowell3179 You just made that rule and then claimed you're not involved in the rule making process. Now I have trust issues and it's all your fault
@GetawayFilms lol that was what all the old heads were saying when e start first came out😂
You got to get Spencer on a motorbike for a video, see if he can handle it lol
Anyone know what happened to Spencer's channel? I got a notification for a video but it said the channel was taken down and you can't search for it anymore.
@@rohtos1845 idk if you saw his video but he got hacked but hes good now
Dang jay need a full supercross track vid on the yellow beasts
That’s what I was thinking 👀
Great moves Jay Dalton/Elon Dalton/John "Elon" Dalton - Editing is Avengers "End Game" quality again. You're really stepping it up!
5:09 had me for a sec lol
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
this guy seems so happy i love it
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.
This bike is soo sick haha. Like a mtb and mx blend.
Glad u sent it and didn't get hurt!
Totally love it…. I love the silence, i personally wish that all the bike could be so quiet. I’ll go watch races or ride the track way more often!
I want one for in town in my large backyard, especially for when I don’t feel like loading up the 450, I can at least play at home and around
Those Starks look lethal! The crash at the end looked rough, hope you're good broski!
Thank you 😄 Just stretched everything out a bit. A week of rehab and rest almost has me back to normal
hell yeah! the varg is a beast!
saw you fall on that IG post good to see you're okay dood
i agree man i was totally against it .but it will unlock tons of riding ive been talking about it alot ,just hope they dont take away our motors !!
Nice Bike - did you get lightest springs ?
maybe try a little more rebound dampening on rear
That edit was legit 😂
induction brushless motor plus lithium power = unstoppable
Jay needs a varg!! 🤘🏻
Hell ya Jay hell ya
Dude good riding i think as a bmxer you may get into the flow of an electric bike better than a motorized because it's quieter.
u are looking very good on the sx track dude
Thank you :) Hopefully more supercross action in soon
Ur a beast bro 🤘🏼
That bike looks legit I just wished the controls were exactly like a normal US dirtbike. Hopefully it's 𝙉𝙊𝙏 so steeply priced most folks can actually afford it unlike a few brands that come to mind. I hope someday someone makes a really nice quality sport electric atv.
Hope you're recovered from your paddle action with Spencer??? 😁
Jayyyy pls reply I love you and have loved to see your progression
❤️❤️
jay heading to the west coast for that fox opener
The mtb thing?
Love this bike I want to drive it
How well can you bring it back when you like get sideways in the air (because of a kicker or rut)?
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
@@jaydalton ahhhh, thanks man thats some good info 💪🔥
Great video Jay !
wow
They just need to fix that impact noise, the thing sounds like it’s falling apart on each hit. Maybe all bikes sound like that and the engine noise covers it up.

Great moves Jay Dalton. Do they make them in yellow?
No, but they should 🟨
@@jaydalton I couldn't agree more
Nice upload jay!!! Like and sub
Thank you :)
Keep in mind, this is just the beginning of electric and it's already pretty amazing. As the technology progresses electric will dominate, both in motorcycles and automobiles. I know many people don't want to believe it or agree with this, but this is purely a technology thing and it's rapidly improving.
ICE technology can't advance much more than it already has...🤷♂️
@jaydalton have you seen that Spencer Foresman has closed his RUclips channel? Any idea what the story is?
Come to Atlanta and ride; learn wheelies 🤘
Shoot I just dipped to the west coast, but maybe later in the year when I'm back. Would love to actually learn and see what the scene is like.
Wow!! That was another nail biting experience watching your ride!! Stay safe!!
i think that most people hate ebikes in general because they don't make a loud noise but its super good for when your getting away from the feds if your into that and its a nice urban bike i want to get one but i cant afford one and honestly would be so down to get invited out to ride one
Damn, what a sick facility! Need to make my way down there. No surprise you love the Varg. We all do :)
I'm loving the progress in electric motorbikes, if only harley didn't buy and dump the Zero company we'd all be rolling electric... :D
I was shopping for electric dirtbike but autonomy and price is still not really what I'd expected to be, still I want a taste of that torque 😂
The torque is gooood. Hopefully the price will come down once they’re more popular
When that vacuum engine goes vroom cool things are going to happen
Bro the oh boy at he beginning 😭
That landing was coming up a little too quick 😂
Get one! it will make awesome content for a long time learning and review.
Have to stack some cash before I can get one for myself, haha. Would love to continue my durability testing
That was the zestiest intro I have ever seen
as a dirt bike/ mountian biker, i suggest you swap the mtb brakes
Going to give 'em a swap as soon as I get the chance. That makes the most sense.
He could definitely get top 15 at Loretta Lynn‘s
Is the mountain bike brake thing a unique thing or a US thing?...UK front is right and back left always...?
Weird US thing.
Ok fine, I’ll subscribe.
Supercross as heck
I live there
You need another day on it, or get one for yourself 😉. I absolutely love mine, get about an hour ride time at 42-50 HP on the track. 3 plus hours on trails mostly 30hp. Bike is crazy fast
You got to ride a Stark¿! Now I'm starting to dislike you.... 😮😩🤬
I want that bike so badly... It's the only electric bike that has a real 80hp to the rear wheel and I love it. 🖤🖤🖤
literally never seen somebody hop on an sx track and ride like that for the first time, was it your first time on a supercross track? if so thats actually not human.
I've rolled around a backyard one on a borrowed bike but this was my first time on a legit, spec-ish SX track. Really need to get out to another one with some stiffer suspension :)
Luckily for everyone interested, they’re super cheap too…….
Yeeeeaaahhh
I don’t understand why the hate in general. It’s literally another form of enjoying the same vehicle that runs on battery.
I’m guessing it’s because of the climate change activists trying to force others to give up their gas driven vehicles and on top of that, they are woke & entitled.
These are cool but the battery will be obsolete in a couple years. You can hop on a 250 from 1980 and it will still run.
This is true.
Next gen. Batteries will prob blow our minds.. tech isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
When are you going to start racing moto?
I want to try and qualify for Loretta's and make a series about it, but that will have to wait until next year
No way this is my home track. I know the owner. I’m good friends with him. I wish I was there.
It is the best bike i've ever ridden. I wont get another gas bike.
Hairline be moving just like that bike lol
I’m scared to cut it 😂 Does look like it’s creeping
My favorite part of the video was when Jay got launched.
Dang it
@@jaydalton I love you Jay ❤️
Idk if I can ride this ha . The hand brake and the levers being opposite of our pedal bikes like you mentioned has to be the hardest thing to adjust to
Realllly tricky at first. With more sessions I could get used to it, but definitely threw me for a loop
you can prob just switch them.
I drive a black ram pickup. When I get in it, I immediately get angry at everyone around me.
get well soon
Dude you had an 80hp mode at you disposal and you didn't even try it out ??
i'm calling the police
yo this video has no audio
oh wait its just the soundless dirtbike
this is one of the best lol joke funny moments of all time
Big e bike guy now!
Environmentally friendly biker
Hey its me on the 125
You were ripping
Thank you, you were too
MR. EPIC
No the best dirt bike is 2 strokes👍
I’m sure it’s fun but the lack of shifting , clutch work and any and all foot work if ya get hand brake. I feel like in my opinion it takes a lot of skill away to actually be fast . That being said they should be in a separate class in a racing setting .
Buuuut as you saw..... It takes a whole new skill set to be smooth and fast without mechanical input.... Seen plenty of quality gas brappers look like amateur hour when they throw a leg over Batt power rut rider. Both are equally fun. But the days of dead dinosaur powered engines is over. Just like the horse and buggy once was. Adapt and evolve as Darwin says.
@@JustJake77 moto is the last raw Motorsport in my opinion. This just makes it like every other motor sport where the raw talent isn’t as important but whatever . I’m never going to race just don’t take away my 2 smoker and you can do whatever you want. I just personally think it takes away from the stuff that makes separates the good riders from the best .
@anthonysammarco2924 "the last raw motorsport".... Bro... By claiming that you're gonna piss off some old heads.... Bonnieville mean anything to you? Ratrods? The guy who take their homemade dragster to the airstrip on the weekends? DIYer's? Grassroots stock car racing? Careful young buck.... Gatekeeping a culture by saying dirt biking is the last raw motorsport.... Libl3 to get ya strung up in someplace's... Dirt biking definitely ain't the last raw motorsport.... Not even by a long shot....
Only people who don't like E-bikes hasn't ridden one...
The only people who don’t like them are the people who havnt ridden one . …
Please dont ever say that again 2 smoke for life
Nothing can or will give you the same race experience that you will get from a 2 stroke.If you prefer 4 strokes,electric,or pedals so be it.
I wanted to hate the stark. But I couldn't stop smiling when I rode it
Absolutely NO electric bike will ever be as cool as a 2 stroke or even a 4 stroke. Yes it has power and can go fast but that's not what riding a dirtbike is about smh the feel of the engine revving the sound the smell the list goes on
Play it on your headphones, if you miss the sound I'm sure you can even sync it to your throttle if you really think noise is so cool lmao.
I love engines but if anyone actually truly enjoys the sound of 2 strokes they have stockholm syndrome
This thing is... 13 grand 😂 but its SOOO COOL!!
I’m hoping that as Stark becomes more popular they’re able to start dropping the price a bit
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.
Just stick a tin can in the mudguard :D
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😂
The hell with electric .only good for stunts not racing .
Bruh I actually kinda liked you but idk anymore😔🤦♂️
Gonna cry?
No loud noise makes dumb people sad 😅
@@Ozfreerider2504 Honestly seems like lack of noise makes a similar amount of dumb people sad :DDDD
You guys are saying that but I’m pretty sure it’s a trait that autistic people don’t like loud noises.. so🫵🤷♂️
@@GoonDirtbiking um ….. dumb and autistic aren’t the same 🤦♂️.
First
Fuck that. Gas 100%
Electric all the way
Bro needs new gloves
I do be needing some gloves
oh boy first
I’m first 😂
Dude get off that thing it looks like your gonna get hurt.. seems out of control
Electric is woke
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo
No jay, don't do it... don't help kill the sport and advertise these things.. BRAAAAAP
Evolve ya dinosaur. Batt power is here to stay. Supercross braap braap, ain't going anywhere either.
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.
Mr Dalton. Is there anything you're not good at?
