First ride on the Stark Varg + CRASH

[@daneg]

thanks for this. I really appreciated the english captions in the middle of the screen. some of them made me laugh. 👍

[@federico297]

Thanks man, glad you appreciated it

[@nate5land]

How did you like it? Details please 🙏😁

[@federico297]

I liked it a lot, but 20 minutes on the bike are way too short to understand the bike, i just got a general idea of what i'm buying. I really liked the throttle mapping and the power delivery, you can really control precisely how much power you want, it needs some attention on the face of the jumps because a little blip before the takeoff can be pretty dangerous, especially from the 50hp map. I really liked the suspension, i found the bike really balanced, it's easy to point the front end where you want, and it's really stable at speed. I actually really liked the left hand rear brake, it's more progressive than aggressive (you need a lot of pressure on the lever to lock the rear wheel). I was expecting to struggle with it but i actually adapted pretty fast. The power is incredible, from the 50hp map the moment you fully twist the throttle it's brutal, i got passed by everyone because i'm slow, not the bike ahahaha. I have done done back to back riding with my 450 (i have a '13 TM MX) and it's not difficult adapting to the different bikes, it's not that much different. Even the track was new to me, so it's an added difficulty

Do you find it easier as novice because you don’t have to clutch or change gears?

[@federico297]

Absolutely, but not just because it lacks gears and a clutch. It's easier to ride in general, maybe you can find it a little on the heavy side, but it's nimble in the corners and really stable at speed, even at full gas in the 60hp map. At 45hp it's really easy to manage the throttle, everything the bike does is predictable, the torque exiting corners is plenty even at low speeds but it doesn't put you into trouble because the power it's overwhelming

@@federico297thanks for the video, an good review.

Suspension / spring weight looked good setup for your weight - Hand brake is way to go - EMC are Fun

[@federico297]

I was told it was the 75-80kg setup, so perfect for my weight. I find them really comfortable, nothing to really complain

Guarda, ti dico in breve il principale motivo per cui spero che le motocross elettriche diventino disponibili e diffuse al più presto: a me piace anche fare manutenzione ma mi piace più guidare e le moto a benzina spinte (non motardoni stradali che pesano 30 kg più di un cross per intenderci) richiedono che io passi più tempo a fare manutenzione che a guidarle; portarle dal meccanico non mi piace. Come succede spesso nella vita, ci sono pro e contro in ogni scelta, ma per come si presenta questa moto mi sembra la scelta migliore! Se davvero la manutenzione è quella prevista secondo il suo manuale, allora mi sa che sarà il mio prossimo acquisto; per ora sto a vedere e spero di riuscire a provarla; ogni tanto vedo se è disponibile qualche prova nelle mie zone ma i posti vengono esauriti piuttosto in fretta. Io di solito bazzico Lodi, Crotta e Covo ma per ora non ho ancora visto nessuna Varg: secondo te è perché devono ancora consegnarle? Spero che il motivo non sia che non ne hanno vendute tante. Comunque capisco che certe espressioni siano difficili da tradurre in inglese coi sottotitoli! 😄

[@federico297]

Ciao, guarda io la ho comprata perché semplicemente nel prossimo futuro non so quanto potrò continuare a girare, con questa mi permette di poter limitare le spese di mantenimento e anche quelle straordinarie (tipo rotture motore). Di Varg non ne vedi in giro perché non ce ne sono ancora ahahha quelle poche che si vedono sono demo dei concessionari per i test ride. La mia dovrebbe arrivare settimana prossima, dovrebbe essere una delle primissime (se non la prima) consegnata a un cliente non concessionario in Italia. Sono ancora un po lenti con la produzione, ne escono circa 150 a settimana dalla fabbrica

[@katiposcotty]

Would be cool if you could revise twist the throttle for more engine braking

[@federico297]

I think it can be dangerous in mx. I think a second lever/button on the left side can be much more safe and easy to use

[@katiposcotty]

@@federico297 hmm 🤔 You could use LH clutch lever as engine braking and use foot brake for rear braking. Maybe could ditch the rear brake entirely if you could control the engine braking? Save some weight

[@federico297]

@@katiposcotty it's a more viable solution for sure

[@oisty]

you call that a crash man...

[@federico297]

Well, i fell of the bike so technically is a crash, a very small crash 🙃. If you mean that i fell like a potato from 0 km/h, you are absolutely right 🤣🤣

[@jeffreykennedy5956]

How does it compare to an Alta?

[@federico297]

I don't know, Alta's never came to Italy, i never even seen one
