We love Stark Future's VARG MX and EX models at RideApart, myself included. The fact that VARGs are starting to win off-road championship titles brings public opinion closer to what I know to be true: these machines are ready to compete against established ICE models. The only caveat is that the bikes winning said championships are quite a bit trickier than the VARGs available on Stark's website. Or, at least, they were before Stark launched the MX and EX Factory Editions.
The factory edition formula isn't new in the off-road space. KTM launched its first Factory Edition bike in 2012 and, more recently, Honda has found great success with its Works Edition (WE) bikes. Stark's entry to the category was expected, and the manufacturer hasn't disappointed.
