E-motorcycle manufacturer Stark Future recently revealed a pair of limited-edition motorcycles, the Stark Varg MX and EX Factory Editions, two bikes built on an off-road championship-winning platform, the same one that earned a gold medal at the 2026 X Games and stellar finishes at the 2026 Red Bull Erzbergrodeo.

Key features include race-developed suspension, reduced weight, and greater control. At the center of both motocross and enduro limited editions is a complete KYB Factory A-Kit suspension package, supported by titanium components, Dynamic Traction Control, a high-grip seat, and a series of detail refinements.

The Factory Editions will be produced in a single global production run, limited to 200 Varg MX and 300 Varg EX Factory Editions worldwide.

The suspension upgrades, Stark says, are the most significant upgrades on both Factory Editions. The result is more grip, greater precision, and improved control. The motorcycles remain more composed under braking and track the ground more accurately.

LIGHTER FACTORY COMPONENTS Its 3−D-printed and titanium components reduce weight by more than 1 kg, according to the company. The lower mass contributes to quicker direction changes, greater agility, and a more responsive connection between the rider and the motorcycle. The Dynamic Traction Control allows riders to fine-tune rear-wheel grip for different terrain, conditions, and riding styles.

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

• MX Factory Edition MSRP: $ 15,990

FIRST-HALF REVENUES JUMP 46 % The Barcelona-based electric-motorcycle manufacturer reported revenue of 86 million euros($ 99.16 million) for the first half of 2026, up 46 % year-over-year, and confirmed the business was both EBITDA- and EBITpositive for the period.

EBITDA reached 5.3 million euros($ 6.11 million), a 6.1 % margin, compared with a 1.7 million euros($ 1.96 million) loss during the same period last year. Gross margin improved 9.3 percentage points year-over-year to 39.6 %, with per-unit bike costs falling as volumes scaled.

Stark says it delivered 8,124 motorcycles in the half, 45 % more than a year earlier, and the second quarter set new records for monthly revenue, dealer sell-out volume and factory output.

“ We set a plan, and we exceeded it,” says Anton Wass, Founder and CEO.“ Reaching EBIT-positive while still investing heavily in new technology is the part that matters. It shows the growth is funded by a strong underlying profitability, real demand and disciplined execution, not by burning cash.”

Gross margin climbed month by month through the second quarter as purchasing and manufacturing gains compounded. Higher-margin revenue streams also grew, with spare parts more than tripling year-over-year and the company’ s software revenue hitting new records following the launch of its patent-pending Dynamic Traction Control.

During the quarter, Stark strengthened its financial leadership with the appointment of Max Cichon as chief financial officer, bringing Tier−1 automotive experience as the company prepares for its next phase of scale. Financing discussions to support that expansion are progressing, with several institutions in due diligence.

Outside of financial performance, Stark’ s electric platform also performed well in racing competitions. After securing the 2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship Manufacturers’ Title, it had several strong finishes at the 2026 Red Bull Erzbergrodeo, including two racers completing The Main Event.

“ Every quarter we become a stronger company; not because the journey gets easier, but because our ability to execute keeps improving,” Wass adds.“ We remain confident in our full-year forecast.”
