For a more dramatic explanation, see the video below. Read our review of the Stark Varg SM here.Begin Press Release:STARK VARG SM SKÖLLLIMITED EDITION: 500 UNITS. EVERY COMPONENT TAKEN TO BLACK.Far from positioning the Sköll as an entirely new platform, Stark retains the core chassis architecture, structural 7.2 kWh battery pack, single-speed drive system, and carbon-fibre-sleeved motor with an integrated inverter that define the VARG SM.AdvertisementAdvertisementWhat is new is a 2.4-pound weight reduction achieved entirely through titanium, the full ALPHA power and traction-control specification, standard, individually engraved and triple clamps, and a component-level blackout that goes considerably further than a paint option.The footpegs are 3D-printed in titanium, saving 0.4 lbs. against standard OEM items. A full titanium bolt kit saves a further 2 pounds. The total reduction is 2.4 lb, taking claimed weight from 274.5 lbs on the standard VARG SM to 272.1 lbs.stark future unveils blacked out varg sm skll special editionBecause these weight reductions focus on controls and fasteners rather than unsprung or rotating mass, wheel control and damping response remain unchanged. Instead, the reduced total mass lowers overall vehicle inertia, enhancing agility during quick transitions and making it noticeably easier to lighten the front wheel.Through a combination of anodizing, powder-coating, and deep-black treatments, every viable component receives a stealth finish: the upper and lower triple clamps, steering stem and retaining nut, swingarm, motor housing and side covers, inverter body and casing, docking station, handlebar map switch, and charging port cap.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe top and bottom triple clamps are black anodized and carry the limited-edition engraving.The 520 RK MXU ultra-wide-ring chain keeps its gold finish against a 7075 T6 rear sprocket, standing out as the sole element intentionally left without a black treatment.Stark Varg SM Sköll GalleryStark Varg SM Sköll GalleryView Gallery28 photosBecome a Motorcycle.com insider.
