THAT'S MOAR THAN A STARK VARG!!!
You have to watch this review of the Ultra. The gripping commentary is what sold me on this bike.
that thick texas accent is something else
everyone else doing videos on those things must be midgets. That's the first person I've seen on one that looks like he dwarfs it.
He said he's 6'1" and added 1" risers. He's also running the stock wheels which will likely be my first upgrade.
The local shop got the Storm in, I'm peeping it tomorrow.
To me it fit like a 125.
I don't know how tall you are but my most favoritist bike ever in terms of size/geometry is a 125
I'm 6'4". I've only ridden 1 125 and it felt kind of like a 20" BMX I could toss around. I wish they had a skills course or something to try it on other than a flat parking lot.
oh you fucked
let me know when you want to sell that thing
can't believe anyone would have recommended that bike to you
someone should have talked to you about the stark varg
Beaverton is supposed to be getting a few Varg's as well. But it's a heavy bitch, too.
If you can get comfy on that ultra it's going to be fun as shit on singletrack in the woods
You're probably already aware of that shop in colorado that's already juicing them up yeah?
Yeah, there are a few solid upgrades already.
A rebranded Varg?

Is that author familiar with dirtbikes?
The bike has a considerable dry weight of about 245 pounds too
Yeah, the reading isn't great. But 87hp and 47lbs at the wheel? Yes please. I believe my YZ450 is right at 245.
Not like I have any frame of reference but I have no idea what I'd even do with that.
I get annoyed with how non-nimble 300s are
I will say my Husaberg FC 400 wasn't light, but the Ohlins setup on that bike was so damn nice. I could toss it around enough to get myself into some shit. But the idea of a sub 200# woods bike sounds better and better.

That has a higher power to weight ratio than my streetbike which even with sticky tires on good roads cannot apply that power until you are near triple digit speeds. Should be great for digging trenches.
The Stark Varg has 692lbft from 80hp, makes the 47lbft seem like a turd.
I've never spun a tire as much as I did riding an alta. I imagine the sturkinvurgun is worse.
kinda would like a clutch...
I have to say I like what they have done. I still think for what I want the Ultra with bigger wheels is still the best option. But these are damn nice..
guess it’s sold alreadyI am on ground in spain ready to take delivery for any monkeys.
This is for '14+ and mine is a '12. Of course it is.

Higher claimed HP but in 10 years, this range is pretty much exactly what the almost 10 year old alta that I rode with Ohio two years ago did. And we were doing WAY more climbing.
If I see one nearby I'm going to come by to see it and kick the idiot in the nuts
The last one was the 60hp. Somebody said "if you planned to flip it, why not go all out?"
I thought you can map different settings, so every bike is 80 hp max?
It's an unlockable "upgrade" like Tesla does. I'm sure there will be an app eventually, but for now it's "locked" at 60hp.
I think they wanted to make it snowbike relevant. Sand hill climbing? Supermoto street builds?
regardless, the 80hp version has a longer range at lower output settings. That's the real reason to get it.
I thought they were different batteries, didn't realize they charge 1k more for a software change. Gross
