Stark Varg EX Review: Fastest Electric Enduro Under $13k

0

The Stark Varg EX is officially the fastest electric enduro motorcycle. On a two-day ride through the Pyrenees, it proved one thing: the future of motorcycles is electric. Fast, powerful, adjustable, and almost maintenance-free, the Varg EX outperforms gas bikes in every key area.

Maintenance-Free Riding

Gas enduro bikes require extensive upkeep. KTM 300 EXC, for example, demands a full engine rebuild every 80 hours.

The Varg EX dramatically simplifies ownership:

  • Annual gear oil change takes five minutes

  • Suspension, coolant, and brake fluid checked once per year

  • Inspect chain tension, wheel bearings, and bushings

Cost advantage: After 100 hours, total maintenance is under $600, versus $6,000+ for a gas bike.
