Stark Varg's Supermoto: Set to Make a Big Splash in the U.S.
Riding a full-sized electric supermoto seems incredibly fun.
It goes without saying that the electric two-wheel vehicle sector has seen an influx of start-ups in recent years. Almost every month introduces another new brand vowing to transform the field with their advanced electric motorcycle offerings. Amidst this wave of speculative products and overly optimistic designs, one firm stands out for making real progress amidst all the clamor: Stark Future .
Initially, many individuals were skeptical about them.
When Stark initially made the announcement Varg , a 60- to 80-horsepower electric dirt bike created to compete directly with conventional gasoline-driven motocross bikes, was often dismissed as just another lofty EV concept unlikely to reach production. However, reality has proven different: the Stark Varg isn’t just a tangible product; it turns out to be exceptionally impressive—so much so that it stands out remarkably. banned from the X-Games .
Currently, Stark Future is pushing boundaries even more by venturing into the realm of road-legal vehicles. This development comes as a result of a report by industry veteran Dennis Chung over at Motorcycle.com , we now have confirmation that a supermoto variant of the Varg is coming soon.

The supermoto version is anticipated to retain many similarities with the EX model yet include notable distinctions. Unlike the EX’s off-road optimized 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheel setup, the SM may feature 17-inch wheels designed for improved street handling. Additionally, adjustments can be expected in the suspension system, possibly reducing the EX’s impressive 11.8 inches of front travel and 11.9 inches of rear travel to achieve a sleeker profile more suitable for asphalt surfaces.
Certainly, one of the standout attributes of the Varg is the crawl mode, which has quickly become revolutionary for both the EX and its MX equivalent. This feature essentially offers a low-speed electric assistance allowing the rider to maneuver the bicycle forwards or backwards simply by pressing a button—a perfect solution for navigating challenging off-road terrain as well as effortlessly reversing into city parking spots.
The 2025 Stark Varg EX is anticipated to reach the U.S. market in June, with an estimated base price of approximately $12,900 USD. 's Jonathon Klein could already be involved in a secretive project with the EX, so keep an eye out for updates on that front.
The details about the Varg SM have not been officially released yet, but since the news has leaked, we likely won’t have much longer to wait.
Therefore, will these bicycles suit U.S. riders well? Based on our observations until now, I can’t find any reasons against it. The Varg has demonstrated its capability as a reliable high-performance bike, often matching or even surpassing conventional off-road motorcycles. Since the European versions are designed to endure harsh environments typical of motocross circuits and enduro paths, there’s no cause for concern about their durability on American streets and rural trails.
Specifically, the SM variant might be particularly enjoyable for urban commuters and those who enjoy carving canyons during weekends. Equipped with power options ranging from 60 to 80 horsepower and offering immediate electric torque, coupled with a chassis engineered for minimal weight, this model appears set to become one of the most thrilling electric supermotos currently available.
