While the Stark Varg is FAR from perfect (don't get me started on how short of a time it lasted while at the track my first time there on the bike), and I will be railing on a few things very soon, it doesn't disappoint when climbing hills.

coming off a kx450f this sounds like soo much fun cant wait to get my hands on one once i pay off the green machine
Please try it on that 11,390 mountain climb you did a couple years ago on a 300-XCW. Loved that video. Thanks.
The look on those folk's face when he surprises them is classic!! lol! Lucky that guy wasn't pack'n heat or Kyle wouldn't be able to deliver my new bike when I win it! CHEERS
That was impressive.
The Stark is the fastest bike I've ridden and at the same time can cruise up a hill with ease the torque is incredible
Im 16 and just got my first full size KTM and I have always wanted to ride with kyle up the Saint Joe in Idaho
Nice man! Best of luck on your moto journey!
I was fortunate enough to get test ride it!!I start thinking-How good it should be at Hill climb!!!!!!
That hill at the 7 minute mark was impressive.
Got to admit , they did a good job on the programming ....
Man the landscape is beautiful over there where is it... nice video! and those hills are looking so steep crazy how easy you went up..
I like the fact that you're giving it a chance. I wonder if the battery isn't hurt. Not by you. But from the factory. I've seen some full-length videos of guys doing 50-minute motos and coming across the finish line with 1%. He made it. But he's limping the bike across the finish line. I'd love to see a video of you taking it from 100%. To 10%. In 15 minutes. That seemed a little unrealistic, but what do I know? I'm just glad you're giving the bike a chance. I really like it when the riders just want to knock the bike, but they can't. No matter what, it's the sexiest bike ever. Thanks for your time. Keep up the videos. I love this type of content.
That hill climb is a steep lose rocky climb. I have done that hill and am amazed with the traction you got
This area looks pretty sweet, was this video filmed recently? Looking for local spots to ride while trails defrost, what place is this?
I get it..... the Varg gets views, but any vids on the Beta 250RR? Rode that bike at a Beta demo day at the end of the year and I'm curious what you thought about that bike?
I can hear my front tire losing traction on MX bike. Even when it doesn't loose traction I hear it. I think you can easily hear rear tire on quiet trail bikes like klx. People just don't pay attention to it.
The only problem I have is Start is already starting to paywall features. I won't buy a bike that has a feature that is already installed on the bike, and just locked behind a payment. Also, that looks like an awesome place to ride! Where is it? We take Colorado trips each year and one day it would be nice to sub it out to go wherever this is!
Do you think the extra weight is helpful when doing hill climbs? Just curious. I’d love to take one for a rip!
a two stroke or four stroke couldn't have surprised those folks having a sxs picnic!
U mentioned the range on the track. How did battery consumption do on this trail ride?
Do u think u could get a 50 mile ride out of it?
Won’t do 50 miles . More like 50km tops .
Just thinking about the mighty barg gives me a mass of wood
Does it freewheel backwards like a bike with a Rekluse does? That takes some getting used to on failed hill climbs.
Yes it does. Hand rear brake is the solution for that
How much is the battery replacement?
The engine braking should recharge the battery. Did you see any appreciable gain going down large hills?
that only gives you a little extra it doesnt recharge the battery just helps extend run time a bit, its not that efficient..
@@coryjamesc Cause everyone that has Stark-ignoring it!!!
@@coryjamesc True. Regen does only give small amounts. But it is better than not taking advantage of it, and it also saves brake wear.
Does it have instant snap like a two stroke or does it have a delay?
WAY more snap than a 2 stroke ! They roll on ultra smooth but of you crack it wide open it’s almost instant power if you are in high power setting they are wild . It can’t really be explained till you ride one but they are mind blowing to say the least .
Check it out: Stark VARG wins Hard Enduro, no clutch is not a problem! Eddie Karlsson Stark VARG GoPro | Battle of Veklings Extreme Enduro | BELLON (2:22:27)...
He was riding 2 hours and 22 minutes on one charge, battery went from 80% to 30%. 48 hp. One lap was 7km, Eddie did four laps, so 28 kilometers. European SuperEnduro champion Magnus Thor is seen in front of Eddie for the first 20 minutes or so. There was one pro class, one amateur class and one woman class.

Gypsy tales used 4 of these bikes the the endurance race the gypsy 500 they were using 30 percent for a single lap of the race, and were charging everytime they came in..
18min laps tho, so could do almost 1hr? thats pretty good TBH, charge time must have been an issue tho
Ive been in electric for the last 5 years, and believe me… you will miss the “difficulty” of the gas bikes. The clutch, the engine, the sound, etc. you have to “drive it” the electric is like WOW at the first, but then is boring.
Now im on a Husky Te250i and sooo happy!
Cheers from Chile 🇨🇱
My mate who owns a Varg said the same, its the most boring thing ever !!! Kyle is praising it, cause it gives him views, and so on !!
@@mixalis6168 and it’s new technology, a novelty, and costly.
I disagree.
I have suspicion that ease of claiming is partially due to heavy traction control on Stark. Even in moto riding people say that they feel aggressive traction control. Meanwhile ICE bikes have very rudimentary traction control. It is easy to implement, but historically somehow no interest to do it (often it is banned in sport).
There’s ZERO traction control on varg . I can tell you because I rode sand motocross on mine and when it spun up in loose sand than back wheel went to Mach 10 in a second ! They have such good traction because on lower power settings with low throttle inputs the control is crazy ! Like nothing you’ve felt before. Bit of you grab a big handful the rear wheel will light up like crazy . Traction control is one of the future features that’s coming but it’s not here yet
Since you mentioned GoPro, maybe get one to replace that outdated Sony cam. The colors and stabilization on that thing are not good by todays standards.
Love em nice and fast but this video sucks no sound lol
How is the engine braking on the Stark?
Not good 😂
I was just thinking the same thing. It’s hard to tell by just listening.
No different to a gas bike . At 80% is Probbaly a bit less than my kx450 . 90% is Probbaly same and 100% is. A bit more
I'm not sure about the Stark, but I do know that electric motors can be controlled in ways that will allow them to coast or brake. The techniques are very common with machinery and equipment used in industrial applications.
With that said, an electric motorcycle could certainly be designed with a motor braking function. The felt effect would basically be same as engine braking, but it is achieved in a much different way. With an internal combustion engine, the engine braking isn't necessarily engineered into it. Engine braking could be thought of as a side effect. Whereas with an electric motor, braking is done by changing the way electricity is applied to the motor. It can also be done by a mechanical means, but that would be similar to the wheel brakes.
The term "stall" is also worth mentioning. The term is used with both combustion engines and electric motors. The main difference would be that an electric motor can be controlled so that the wheel brakes could be applied at any intensity, without the use of a clutch, neutral, or torque converter, ect.
you can setup required engine braking. People say 80% feels like 4 stroke. For 2 stroke feel need like 40%
Looks like trails might stay in better condition with these E dirt bikes. Wow, who knew?
What about the trail to the lithium mine?
Huge OHV areas are being closed to use the land for lithium mines, won't be much left to ride in the USA the way things are headed.
I do not understand why you would need a clutch.
Prevent Whiskey throttle
You don't need a clutch. You just think you do because it's institutionalized into your brain from riding ICE bikes with a transmission. As you are finding out, learning the different style of riding takes some time and experience. There are two real downsides to this bike. No, check that. Three. 1. Range. 2. Cost. 3. Weight. Other than that, it is superior in every single way to a traditional dirt bike. After riding, hose it off, plug it in. Before the next ride, check the chain tension and tire pressure. Rinse and repeat. 6:02 you scared the snit out of those folks! This is another huge advantage of these things. You can ride and no one can hear you. Well, it's an advantage if you live in the east, anyway. You literally can ride this almost anywhere.
Definitely want a mechanical clutch for safety at a minimum. Let alone all the other benefits. You whisky that thing and spin up that motor and bind that chassis up there is no way to unwind it like you could by pulling in a clutch, you're just on a ride. So yes, you do need a clutch
@@Runk3lsmcdougal My electric bike has a regenerative brake lever as well as a clutch on the left handlebar. All I have to do is touch the regen brake and the motor(throttle) is immediately cut. I've never used my clutch. Not once. Don't need it.
It would have to be a mountain goat of a bike to convince me that its better than my vintage 1985 Yamaha TY350N trials weapon..Going up REAL hills.
Who cares about trials bikes 😅😅😅😅😅 and why would you even compare them
Trials are amazing bikes, but their lack of suspension and speed when trail riding sucks.
@@Ozfreerider2504 Because smarty pants when you wanna go up REAL Mother Fkr Widow Maker Hills there is no better machine..built for that purpose ok
@@easternyellowjacket276 Trials bikes are purpose built for competition and are NOT suitable for FAST TRAIL riding..Thought you knew that pal.
@@albertsammut433 I do know that. That is why I said they are amazing, but lack in trail riding, which frequently requires elevated use of speed. Don't be so defensive.
time is the enemy of the varg.
Once range is there, I’m sold on electric.
That's the issue. I saw the review that Electric Cycle Rider did. They did mountain single track more like what I ride here in Montana. 34 miles and ride time of just over 2 hrs. Most of our rides are twice that long. And I don't like sleeping with the grizzlies.
in time it will get better this is only the beginning stages once they start to research and develop better materials and use of super capacitors then they will exceed the range of regular motorcycles.
@@promx96 Oh like the flux capacitor.
So I guess we’re not gonna get a video on the beta or the KTM 250 you just bought them to give them away and that was it
It was live on RUclips last week. The runner up didn’t answer his phone for the 24 KTM 250XC. Waiting to see who won it
@@stevedouglas1654 not the give away video Ride videos on them how they perform what he he likes what he don’t like, etc. etc.
You should get a new camera, like I like your content but that outdated camera makes it less enjoyable to watch, i find myself skipping threw the video and sometimes like stop watching. I would suggest the insta 360 ace pro, or dji action 4. I feel like gopro is behind on everything especially battery life.
I'll pass
swap moto finished a 50 min grand prix 🤷🏽♂️ so it probably could finish a moto
Yeah all kinds of people racing them in moto. Kyle doesn't know what he is talking about when it comes to moto.
First
$14,000! What a joke
My gas bike was over $12k so that's hardly expensive for a revolutionary e bike.
Why is it a joke? Take an Austrian bike price and then run all of the maintenance costs and see what you end up with.
Right, I thought they were like $4,000
@@ryanstewart1521 LOL you can't even buy a high-quality mountain bike for 4K.
What idiot parks their side by side in the middle of the trail. That's my biggest problem with side by side owners, absolutely zero trail etiquette. Not all, but most.
Best case scenario they're casuals.
An embarrassment to dirt bikes!
Embarrasses all dirtbikes I think you mean….
