STARK
Choose the discipline before the power figure
Stark positions the VARG EX for enduro with road homologation, the VARG MX 1.2 for motocross and the VARG SM for road-legal supermoto use. Start with where you will actually ride, then confirm homologation, licence and equipment requirements in the relevant market.
The current official range lists EX, MX 1.2 and SM configurations with up to 80 hp. That common figure does not tell you whether the suspension, brakes, wheels, clearance and equipment suit technical trails, motocross or sealed roads.
Choose EX for an enduro starting point
EX combines enduro-oriented equipment with a 21/18-inch wheel concept. When road-legal access and genuine enduro terrain are your main requirements, it is the logical base—subject to the delivered equipment and homologation in your market.
Do not assume road homologation creates identical registration status in every country. Verify the exact model page, local documentation and specification through the Bajamoto configurator or dealer handover before relying on equipment shown elsewhere.
MX 1.2 and SM serve different surfaces
MX 1.2 is motocross-oriented. SM uses 17-inch wheels and a road-oriented KYB setup. Their intended terrain creates different chassis priorities, so choose the model designed around the discipline that will dominate your riding.
The official range describes a 7.2 kWh battery for MX 1.2 and a 7.2 kWh platform for current VARG models. Confirm the exact market configuration on its model page. A shared battery figure does not erase the differences in equipment and setup.
A wheel swap does not create another model
Homologation, suspension, brakes, wheel clearance, gearing and equipment differ. Even where parts physically fit, that does not make the chassis behaviour, supporting components or legal identity equivalent.
Any conversion requires model-specific parts and compatibility checks before feasibility or cost can be assessed. Starting with the correct model is clearer than assuming EX, MX 1.2 and SM are interchangeable motorcycles wearing different wheels.
