Stark Varg vs 2023 KTM 450SXF Back to Back on an old school GP/MX track. Gas vs Electric! Back to back rides are a great way to understand the characteristics of different bikes.
KTM 450SXF Laptime: 2:08.71
The '23 KTM 450SXF engine makes strong linear power (60HP at the rear wheel according to MXA) that is easy to ride. The chassis is a great combination of cornering and stability. The stock suspension and very adjustable and works well after 5~8 hours of break. I installed my favorite set of WP Cone Valve spring forks on this 450FE. I've owned these forks for many years and they work so well. Brad at RideWorx just re-did the rear shock on this bike and it is dialed now - way more compliance and bump absorption compared to stock and the bike feels more planted over the chop (here is the first ride review of this RideWorx dialed rear shock...

Stark Varg Laptime: 2:08.78
No clutch, no shifting, barely any noise, no heat, multiple maps from 10hp to 80hp...just throttle and brakes. The Stark Varg is very easy to ride and very easy to like! The chassis is firm and the KYB suspension has a lot of damping to keep the 260lb Varg under control. Cornering is impressive and the Varg changes direction so easily.
Less than 1/10th of a second difference in lap time!!! Gas or electric...each a very different experience yet both very fun to ride! Which would you choose?
