Taking a Trip and Racing Enduro in Chile | Stark Life EP 04

We put the "Svendneck" Eddie Karlsson on a plane to Chile, together with his beloved racing suspension. Red Bull Los Andes 2024 was the agenda. And the result shocked even us a little bit. Not only did he have a lot of fun, he also brought home silverware.
Watch how the week unfolded!
And if you got inspired for your very own Enduro trip, check the VARG EX which is available now!

[@Levi-p4x]

Wow what a bike.

[@LeonBold]

hey KTM are you watching? All resident car brands said,...a tesla is nothing, .... and a few years later,... tesla market leader.... same will happen here.... stark will kick ass.

[@klausliedler2374]

Let’s hope Anton Vass won’t convert to such an asshole as Elon Musk did.

Congratulations! Cheers from Brasil

[@codeywayne]

Can we get a bike build walk through from Eddie?! I would love to see what he likes to do with his bike.

[@reeve606]

One day when I'm big, I'll buy one 🎉

[@620Supercomp]

Very well done, Eddie..

[@jacob-youtube]

Great riding!

[@Pasqualin65]

Congrats Well Done Guys

[@darrellmabry699]

Thats so badass a Stark took third in this hellish Enduro race. Congrats guys. I wanna get one so bad. And one for my wife.

[@starkfutureofficial]

Please proceed.

[@enzo39472]

Please!! Show us the battery swap process. Thats very good time

[@990Hyper]

There is no battery swap. No in the sense of a "fast" one. On the channel is already present a video of a battery change but it's not an option to avoid recharge , the battery enclosure is part of the frame itself

[@enzo39472]

​@@990Hyper i am aware its structural . i didnt know there was a video already

[@SamuelGunnestad]

Something quite important are the holes they made to the plastic, so you don't have to remove it to get to the bolts. The front fender might also have some adjustments

[@genezizgbg]

nice work Eddie ant the Stark 🎅

[@tobikopulei9090]

bro these starvarks are beastly

[@zeug-macher]

gratulation 🎉

[@Y2Kvids]

Wow , Let's go

[@MatthewBayard]

Did the ICE bikes have to use the pits? Would have you won if not for the battery swap?

[@jacob-youtube]

One day I hope I can get a stark varg ex 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@slawomirgoleniak]

Please upload video how they swapped battery in just 95 seconds. Thanks!

[@IvoJaric]

How long was the race (km & elevation meters) and how many times he changed batteries?

[@maggifixx1336]

Of course... 2:18 😂

[@starkfutureofficial]

It wouldn't be Eddie without it!

[@Ngmotor542]

[@ChrisKAloha]

How’s the wheel spin compared to the Mx model?

[@Erwin-P]

Initially a bit more, but since you can hear the wheelspin it's easy'er to adjust throttle. I find that after some getting used to i have less wheelspin than on my ICE bikes.

[@fadiazki279]

🇮🇩🙏

[@SWTrailsAndWheels]

I don't believe I could swap the battery on my Varg MX so quickly... I wonder if the Varg EX has some design changes to allow for a quicker battery swap?

[@starkfutureofficial]

No, just a lot of rehearsals with the mechanics.

[@Erwin-P]

@@starkfutureofficial Is it an option to supply bodywork with the same holes pre-drilled or a template to do so? It's not that hard to copy, but would love to have it very neat. I do sand Cross Country races of 2 hours. I could do it on 2 battery's if the swap didn't take too long. For now i'm riding my 300 2 stroke when the Stark runs out, charge the Stark and swap back. This costs me about 3 minutes of lap times (for i'm about 10% faster on the Stark) and about 2 minutes for the extra pitstop. So if the racer (me) with 1 pitmember could do it in under 5 minutes it would be a win.

[@Kiadrivershaveboyfriends]

​@Erwin-P it's not hard to drill holes yourself.

[@Raider_Mx]

the horn is very necessary

[@shannons1886]

Adding a small front hub helper motor would make it beat anything on any surface.

[@starkfutureofficial]

Possibly, but illegal.

[@starkfutureofficial]

Just did.

[@rava4212]

That's not a motorbike, that's an electric bike.

[@starkfutureofficial]

Ah, I see we’ve entered the ‘if it doesn’t go vroom-vroom, it doesn’t count’ debate. Let me enlighten you, my combustion-loving friend. We love anything on two wheels, and to keep our beloved sport thriving, we’re offering an alternative that’s as awesome as it is forward-thinking. Call it an electric bike, a whisper rocket, or whatever nickname you like-but don’t forget, we’re holding our own (and then some) against the competition in this very sport we all love.

[@BahWeepGranahWeepNiniBong]

So what do you call Tesla cars, rc cars? Ev haters aren't the smartest bunch...

[@Kiadrivershaveboyfriends]

But your girl loves electric toys

[@GaryV-p3h]

It has an electric motor, it's a motorbike.
