Electric dirtbike maker Stark has chosen Dunlop as the OE rubber supplier for the Varg SM. The battery-powered supermoto will come with Dunlop’s grippy SportSmart TT fitment in 120/70 R17 and 140/70 R17 sizes, chosen to suit the torquey 80hp powertrain and 124.5kg weight.
Miguel Morais, OE manager at Dunlop, said: “The Stark Varg SM is a striking example of how race-inspired road performance and electric technology can come together, and the SportSmart TT is engineered to complement that. The combination of Stark Future’s advanced electric powertrain and Dunlop’s race-derived SportSmart TT ensures riders can fully exploit the bike’s agility, precision and power both on the road and on track. We’re proud that Stark Future has chosen Dunlop SportSmart TT as an OE fitment.”
Anton Wass, Stark CEO, said: “The Dunlop SportSmart TT is one of the most sought-after supermoto tyres on the market, and for us it was a natural choice. We are committed to providing riders with the best possible performance and feel straight from the factory. Offering the SportSmart TT as a main option on the Varg SM was simply a given.”
