What exactly is the Stark VARG SM SKÖLL?
The VARG SM SKÖLL is a limited‑edition version of Stark Future’s road‑legal electric supermoto, the VARG SM. It is limited to 500 production units worldwide, and the company has explicitly stated there will be no second wave of production once all 500 units are sold out.
It is built on the same core platform as the standard SM but comes with the full ALPHA specification, a comprehensive blackout treatment, along with titanium weight‑saving parts.
Why the name “SKÖLL”?
Stark ties this limited edition to Norse mythology. According to this Spanish e-mobility maker: “In Norse mythology, Sköll is the wolf that hunts the sun… The all‑blacked‑out VARG SM SKÖLL rides in that same darkness: 500 wolves, blacked out, built to chase anything ahead of them.”
The SKÖLL edition features an extensive blackout finish across almost every visible component, plus individually numbered, black‑anodized triple clamps. Creating a visual identity of darkness and scarcity associated with the SKÖLL from Norse mythology.
How is the SKÖLL different from a regular VARG SM?
Mechanically, the SKÖLL is similar to the standard VARG SM at its core, using the same high‑strength steel frame with carbon‑fibre front subframe, same 7.2 kWh / 420 V battery, same single‑speed drive and carbon‑fibre‑sleeved motor with integrated inverter.
The differences on the special editions are focused on spec, weight and aesthetics. The VARG SM SKÖLL comes with a full ALPHA spec, 3D-printed titanium parts which shed weight from 124.5 kg on the standard model to a claimed 123.4 kg on the SKÖLL edition.
What does “full ALPHA specification” mean in practice?
In practice, “full ALPHA specification” on the VARG SM SKÖLL means the bike comes with Stark’s top-of-the-line power and electronics package as standard. The ALPHA spec delivers 80 hp from the carbon‑fibre‑sleeved SPM motor, with peak torque quoted at 914 Nm sent to the rear wheel through a single‑speed drive.
It also features Dynamic Traction Control across all ride modes, with fully tunable power curves and regenerative braking that can be adjusted on the go via the handlebar while riding.
What suspension does it use?
The VARG SM SKÖLL uses KYB suspension front and rear, fully adjustable and set up for supermoto use. At the front, it features an adjustable 48 mm fork with 290 mm of travel. At the rear a KYB triple‑adjuster shock delivering 303 mm of travel. At the time of order, Stark adjusts the spring rates on the VARG to match individual riders’ weight instead of compromising on a single standard setting from the factory.
What type of brakes does it use?
The VARG SM SKÖLL uses Brembo brakes front and rear. Up front is a 320 mm disc with a four‑piston calliper, while the rear uses a 220 mm disc with a single‑piston calliper. Riders can also opt for an optional handlebar‑mounted rear brake from the factory.
What about range and charging in real use?
Stark claims up to 183 km urban and 118 km suburban. Charging is done via a 3.3 kW portable unit, which takes about two hours at 240 V or three and a half hours at 120 V from a standard outlet or AC car charger with an adapter for a full charge.
What tech does the rider actually interact with?
The rider primarily interacts with Stark’s Arkenstone display, an Android-based system which offers waterproof, shock‑resistant turn‑by‑turn navigation, offline maps, GPX logging, lap timing and OTA updates operated via handlebar controls.
What does it cost, how many will be made, and when can you get one?
Stark will build only 500 units worldwide. The first batch of customer deliveries is scheduled to begin in October 2026. It is priced at €14,990 in Europe.
