Enduro Riding - Stark Range Series

[@Tazdeviloo7]

Crazy how much more battery pros use than your average rider. 80% of riders could do a 2 hour hare scramble on these, but a lot won't since you don't see pros doing it.

[@Tazdeviloo7]

This could be addressed by making a hot swappable battery version so pros can race a full 2hr scramble with a quick pit stop like they already do for fuel

[@JS-nf1sn]

The Bike has plenty of range for regular riders. 2 plus hours of riding is really more like a four hour ride with your friends when you consider stopping for the views, water, talking, etc. I ride mine on single track and easily get three hours or more of ride time, and I'm totally sacked when I'm done. Where the range wouldn't be amazing would be wide open desert runs or road riding to get between trails. You can get about 40 miles of riding easily, which is a lot of single track riding. I bring a 120V generator camping, and with that you can easily extend the range a lot while you eat lunch or take a break. I usually don't bother bringing the generator on day trips because range hasn't been an issue for me.

[@timt1346]

I think it would be to be more like a 701 in weight though. My Alta only ever got about 45 miles of range on the street, and that was being extremely conservative on speed and power delivery. It's crazy to run on pavement, but it eats up the battery so fast you live on nothing but range anxiety.

[@HiLuckyB]

@timt1346 All I'm saying is there's a market for it. You see people riding them on the street already because there's just not enough places to ride off-road. It's the same reason I don't own a SXS. I don't want to tow something 3 hours to ride every weekend 😂

[@1276Tim]

[@blbills]

Sure love mine! Just did a 43.5 mile fairly gnarly loop in Moab with battery to spare.

[@WorkingOnRocks]

That’s about a 1/8 of a tank compared to most UTV’s 😅😅

[@PNWSingleTrack]

Dream bike right here. Looks like a blast to ride! 🤙

[@MrChadx1]

Looking forward to a range test with less extreme/technical/hard enduro riding, which benefits the clock on how long a batter lasts. For recreational riders, many more ride flowy single track and 50" wide forest service roads vs putting themselves through hard enduro sections. Those flowy and simple trail riding will mean higher average speeds, of course, which may mean lower range, but curious to see what type of range can be had for that terrain as we often to family and friends rides and ride anywhere from 30 to 55 miles of easy going mountain trails and roads.

[@TheDirtyBirchTrails]

The beginner rider is the more realistic version of a typical ride as when riding in a small group, we usually stop for a quick break every 30 minutes or so. I have approx 30km or single track and gnarly hard enduro terrain on my property, and I can tell you as an intermediate A level rider. that riding here in small group of 5 or 10, typical ride day or evening involves us riding for 2-3 hours with a total time out of 3-4 hours. We are usually pretty cooked after that, and I have yet to kill the battery down to even 25 percent. Just got a blue street plate for mine. Can't wait to do some Zaap-zaaps on the back wheel down to the supermarket !!!

[@iansandercock7374]

Really interested about this amazing bike congratulations Stark futur 👏👏. But don’t think the range will be enough for my use. Last trip was 50km and I had to come back otherwise it would have been 60/70 km. I hope they will be a long range version or with new technology of batteries like solid ones.

[@fernando_dominguez]

Love what you guys are doing keep it up! Think it's not quite there for Hard Enduro due to the longer rides but I don't doubt it will get there. Cheers🎉

Hard to watch these videos when my bikes has been sitting at the dealer waiting on stark for over a month. Just wish I could enjoy it like these fellas in the video

[@starkfutureofficial]

Bummer to hear that. I really hope this is solved real fast!

[@MrChadx1]

@@starkfutureofficial Rather than saying "bummer. Hope they resolve real fast", how about you reach out to him and his dealer and help resolve it? 51 days with no bike, no matter what the cause, is not acceptable. There is nothing on these bikes that can't be fixed/replaced in a few days. There is a backlog of bikes. Replace his bike. Pull parts off a new bike. Whatever. I was looking to get a Stark but it's stories like these that make me second guess. Others seem to get major issues resolved within a week (replacement battery, replacement motors, computers, etc. What possible excuse could there be for a bike to sit for 51 days without being fixed?

[@MrChadx1]

@caydenwilson707 51 days? Unacceptable. How is that even possible? Everything that could be wrong can be swapped in a day or two to make your bike work. Please elaborate on why it's not been fixed and what is wrong with it. Was going to buy one during the sale, but stories like this are hard to overlook. Please give more details so we have the whole story. Thanks.

[@Erwin-P]

How about pick it up at the dealer and contact Stark Support itself? I always get answered within 1 or 2 days. More technical stuff they video call. So far pinpoint fault finding and send replacement parts the same day, so i have it 3 days later (depending on where you live i take). Everything is super easy to work on and i had to replace te motor wich took me (a technician, but no motorcycle repair shop) about 3 hours. And that's complete teardown of the bike. With my above experience it seems like your dealer is just being lazy.

[@highlandcycles]

Neat bikes but they can’t finish an enduro here in Colorado. Really want to see the range up in the 80 mile range.

[@autohog]

No amount of throttle response can substitute a clutch. A rider must have the ability to modulate power and traction by spooling up the rpms and releasing them in a controlled manner. Electric Motion incorporates a clutch for a reason. Taddy is one of the best professional riders on earth, but for the rest of us there is no way to be as competitive as we can be in hard enduro environment without a clutch.

[@jib9639]

I would love to test one of these bikes out where I live (west coast Canada). We have some of the most technical enduro riding around here and I’d be really interested to see how a bike with less HP, setting, yet still tons of torque would stack up vs my current 350f. I feel like you could ride for longer due to less fatigue from the power.

[@dans8149]

Based on many videos I have seen if you were running 30-35 HP for the more tech trail I would add about 10km to those figures. The main thing is if you did 40-50km day in say Mcnutt in BC very tech riding area you would be tired of riding before the battery runs out.

[@jib9639]

@@dans8149 agreed. That would be a good day at McRut. I’m curious though what a 35hp bike feels like but with all that torque. Only problem is the bike still weighs more than a 450 I think.

Stark should understand better that....ANY "testing" they release will be greeted with scrutiny and a presumption of bias by the small, tight motocross community and carry little value. This is why it's imperative for the growth of the brand that you build relationships with the major MX news sources such as MXA/motocross action to publish a true, unbiased test. E.g., you have a relatable, well like hero promoter of the product with Josh Hill. Josh is respected and trusted, but he is already associated as "owned" by the brand. Ps., i'm available for hire with 25+ years white label, private brand and executive sales experience. :)
