Stark has made a reputation for itself by doing issues the intense means. Now the world’s fastest enduro has climbed greater than any bike ever has, a file that is at the moment being verified by the parents at Guinness World Information.
The file was achieved atop Los Ojos del Salado: the world’s highest energetic volcano (at 6,893 m/22,614 ft) and one of the difficult environments on Earth. Swiss mountaineer-rider Jiri Zak rode the absolutely electrical Stark Varg EX to an altitude of 6,721 m (22,050 ft).
The volcano lies on the border between Chile and Argentina, and in case you didn’t already know, it has been the searching floor for a bit of file makes an attempt over time. Living proof: the Mercedes Unimog set a file for vehicles by reaching a peak of 6,694 m (21,962 ft), which was later damaged by a Porsche 911. Heck, an Olympic Marathon runner named Tyler Andrews set a file on the volcano, working 33.6 miles (54 km) from base camp to the summit and again – all in 9.5 hours!

Though there are claims of extra critical, greater makes an attempt, Guinness-recognized information require unbiased monitoring and GPS calibration certifications.
The Varg EX used for this feat was all inventory. The try was assisted by a specialised mountain logistics and manufacturing crew, which spent a number of days monitoring the climate and adapting plans for the ultimate ascent.
Having spent years using throughout the Himalayas myself, I’m nicely conscious of how skinny the air turns into and the sub-zero temperatures because the altitude will increase. And this crew needed to think about an energetic volcano for this journey.
In conditions the place internal-combustion engines often lose energy, the Varg EX delivers constant traction and controllability. All due to its fast torque, a simple driveline with out gear shifting, and next-to-no mechanical complexity.

“Ojos is unforgiving; one mistake can value your life,” defined Zak, who has type for such issues, having beforehand set a Guinness World File for the very best altitude reached on a motorbike again in 2020. “That’s the reason I am right here with a crew I belief and a motorbike that retains delivering energy in skinny air.”
This newest World File effort was recorded utilizing GPS models that had been beforehand sealed to ensure authenticity. The entire knowledge set is at the moment being verified by a 3rd celebration, and Guinness World Information authentication is underway.
“This was by no means a few standalone quantity,” stated Anton Wass, CEO and Founder, Stark Future. “It’s about proving that electrical shouldn’t be a compromise; it takes you additional than some other combustion bike might. The Varg platform can function on the fringe of the environment, giving riders the management to maneuver safely and effectively in really hostile situations. Subsequent cease? The Moon.”
