Six Stark Varg bikes. Four hours. Thirty-minute slots that are already half gone.
On Sunday 11th October 2026, Go Off Road is bringing the Stark Varg to SX Worx in Sheffield from 5pm to 9pm for a hands-on demo day. If you've watched the videos, read the spec sheet, and still can't quite believe an electric bike can outrun a 450, this is where you find out for yourself.
What's Happening on the Day
We're rolling in with six Stark Varg bikes, a mix of MX 1.2 and the road-legal EX, and handing them over to riders in 30-minute windows. Each slot includes a quick walkthrough of the bike's controls and the site's rules before you head out, so you're not burning your riding time figuring out the throttle map.
Slots run continuously from 5pm to 9pm, and once they're booked, they're gone. There's no waitlist and no "hope someone doesn't turn up."
The details:
- Date: Sunday 11th October 2026
- Time: 5:00pm to 9:00pm
- Location: SX Worx, Sheffield
- Slot length: 30 minutes
- Price: £19.99 per slot
- Age requirement: Riders must be 18+
Why the Stark Varg Is Worth the Drive
If you've not ridden one yet, here's the short version of why this bike keeps showing up on every "bike of the year" shortlist.
The Varg's power is fully adjustable, from a manageable 10hp right up to 80hp, all through the bike's app. That means the same bike that a nervous first-timer can ease into is the same one that can genuinely embarrass a 450 on a start line. No clutch, no gears, no engine noise to warn the next rider you're coming.
The EX version takes it further and is now road legal, with a proper headlight, indicators, a horn and a number plate holder, on top of the same enduro capability. It's one bike for the trail and the ride home.
Stark backs it with a 2-year warranty covering parts and labour, and the bike itself is trackable if it's ever stolen. For anyone who's been burned by patchy support on imported electric bikes before, that's the difference between buying a toy and buying a bike you can actually rely on.
Demo days like this exist because reading a spec sheet only gets you so far. You need to feel that torque delivery to understand it.
