The new 3.3kW charger fits in your backpack and makes it effortless to charge anywhere you go. The VARG SM is impossible to ignore and built to lead the streets with power and presence.

When was the last time you felt you had enough power?

The Stark VARG SM Alpha (80hp) is the road-legal, street-focused evolution of the world-beating electric motocross platform. In the UK and Australia, the 2026 model comes equipped with the upgraded 7.2kWh battery and a specialized supermoto chassis designed for urban dominance and track precision.

Stark VARG SM Alpha 80hp: Street-Legal Dominance

Pricing and Availability (UK & Australia)

The VARG SM is priced as a premium performance machine, competing directly with high-end petrol supermotos like the KTM 690 SMC R and Ducati Hypermotard 698.

Note: Australian pricing typically excludes on-road costs (approx. $1,000–$1,600 for registration/stamp duty). In the UK, the SM is often homologated as an L3e-A1 (11kW) category bike, meaning it can be ridden with a CBT and L-plates, despite having an 80hp peak.

Product Description: The Ultimate Electric Supermoto

Unrivaled Power-to-Weight Performance

The “Alpha” designation represents the most potent configuration available. With a peak output of 80hp and a featherweight race-spec mass of just 124.5kg, the VARG SM boasts the highest power-to-weight ratio of any production supermoto in the world.

• Instant Torque: Delivers 914 Nm of torque (at the rear wheel), resulting in a 0–60 mph time of approximately 3 seconds.

• Top Speed: Geared for the street, the SM reaches a top speed of 75 mph (121 km/h) in its standard configuration, with higher speeds possible through sprocket adjustments.

• Crawl & Reverse Mode: Includes a dedicated walking speed and reverse gear to make parking and tight maneuvers effortless.

Specialized Supermoto Chassis & Hardware

Unlike the MX version, the SM is purpose-built for asphalt with geometry and components optimized for grip and lean angle.

• Wheels & Tires: 17-inch aero-grade aluminum rims fitted with premium street rubber (standard options include Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV or Michelin Road 6).

• Braking Power: A massive 320mm floating front disc paired with a radially mounted Brembo 4-piston monoblock caliper provides immense stopping force.

• KYB Suspension: Featuring 48mm closed-cartridge forks (290mm travel) and a triple-adjuster rear shock (303mm travel), specifically valved for the firmer, more precise feedback required for road riding.

Next-Gen Battery and Connectivity

The 2026 model utilizes the 7.2kWh “Flying V” battery pack, using a magnesium honeycomb structure for superior cooling and safety.

• Range: Offers up to 74 miles (118 km) of mixed urban riding or ~50 miles at sustained highway speeds.

• Backpack Charger: Includes a 3.3kW portable charger that fits in a backpack and plugs into any standard 240V wall outlet, reaching a 95% charge in roughly 2 hours.

• Arkenstone Dash: A rugged, waterproof Android smartphone acts as the bike’s brain, allowing you to customize over 100 ride modes, adjust engine braking from 0–100%, and receive over-the-air (OTA) software updates.
