    Second ride on the stark Varg and it's been enlightening. Still wish it had a clutch, but the forks are pretty great. More to come later, but this might end up being the best hill climb bike I've ever ridden. That is a little sneak peak for you!

    Kyle, please get this in some tight woods. I don't know if you have any local, but I'd love to hear your feedback on some tighter, slower, more technical stuff. Especially how the weight and lack of reciprocating mass impacts its maneuverability and if not having to deal with those forces leads to less rider fatigue.

      I’ve ridden mine for about 4 hours in tight steel single trail and found it so much better that working a clutch and gears . Climbing hills is like cheating on the varg especially when having to start on a hill and gain momentum fast . Can regulate the throttle for such precise power delivery . And having hand rear brake is a game changer . I hate having my foot out of position constantly covering the rear brake in case of an unexpected obstacle . Having it right on your finger is so good

      I just completed 5 Miles of Hell with mine. Was actually quite surprised how well it did! Didn't think about the weight a single time. Had 45% battery remaining when I got back to the truck. I'm in love with this bike!

      Il tell you how the Stark performs on Florida single track by an A level racer.. my Stark was delivered with left lever rear brake, 18 rear wheel, worthless kick stand and an even more worthless 80hp. Torque is great at @45hp. Left lever rear brake is very intuitive, weight is a non issue.. handling once the suspension is "softened up" is quite good. The bad is always staring at the battery level which is very dangerous under racing conditions..Bike is near silent so passing a slower rider is always hazardous... Bottom line it's a expensive novelty and once that novelty wears off..my Stark will spend more time sitting ina corner..And as for recharge?... Super slow, spare battery swap trackside ?. Ain't happening.. can't be done ina timely manner plus the spare battery is @$8500..

    Kyle, regards to your lower back, I got the same issue. I found great relief by riding with my hips unlocked. Not sure if you do this, but basically reverse curve your back like a weight lifter does when doing a dead lift. It takes the tension off the lower back and puts it into your hamstrings. My hamstrings are super tight (mountain biker...), so it easily supports me with a lot less effort. It doesn totally solve pain in the lower back, but greatly reduces it.

    When you open up the clickers, You are opening up the free bleed that allows more fluid to by-pass the compression shims making Lo speed softer.

    Recommend doing the same on the shock, especially if it gets really rocky. I have pretty much all adjusters backed out all the way on the shock, otherwise it’s very stiff.

    I have a Surron and it is fun to ride but I realistically only have 1.5-2 hours of hard riding available. Which is good for after work hitting the Mountain Bike trails. I would like to know how long these can last. I have seen guys at the MX track run them a long time. On a track I think the bike could out last what energy I have.

    • @doates625
      @doates625 2 месяца назад

      The top speed is probably limited by the battery voltage, which is why it doesn't change with the peak power setting. Double the battery voltage and you double the top speed, assuming the inverter can handle it, and not accounting for rolling resistance. You'd need a full schematic and an electrical engineering degree to even know if it's possible.

    • @Ozfreerider2504
      @Ozfreerider2504 2 месяца назад

      Battery voltage ? The motor would be speed limited , and therefore yes in a roundabout way its voltage limited . The bikes fucking haul ass so there’s only one reason they stop at that speed and it’s because of limitations of the software . A new sprocket would change everything. It’s no different to any other bike that has a rev limiter . They can just have the motor spin to 50,000 rpm

The battery will go into limp mode after @25 minutes at 60hp.. nothing like limp mode at the face of a triple.. don't believe me ?.. Watch Don T's GP race outing at Glen Helen .
