    That Varg wasn’t just keeping up dude, it was leading the way. Stunning. Although I reckon it has a little bit to do with the rider 😉 another great vid Matt.

    Vargs are next level good in hard enduro . So many people think you need a clutch but I find I can hop over anything just as easy without it and so much better not having to manage engine revs .

      When u have instant 100% torque from the rip that’s all the revs you need!

    Matt, so glad to see you (finally!) wearing gloves! You're a good rider & that electric bike is a BEAST. Thanks for the entertainment.

  • @artblakey4159
    @artblakey4159 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

    Rideabily/traction is often related to the rate of change of the torque curve, not the amount if torque itself. While modern two strokes are much improved over those "back in the day", here we see that metric is so hard to control on the gas machines when compared to the linear torque delivery of the properly controlled electric motor.

  • @nymetsfan912
    @nymetsfan912 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The varg is unstoppable! It’s scary to see it outperform these 2-strokes on the trails. I can’t go without the sound and smell of the 2-stroke engines though. May they live on forever!

    Absolutely nice to see you guys having a crackin´time amongst friends. Apart from that, the landscape kills me as well as the absolute superiority of the Varc against the other MX-bikes. The sheer power right from the start, no clutch issues to worry about, no fumes on the scene, it´s fantastic for such rides. If I would live in such an environment or at least close to it, I´d definetely go for a Varc. Guys, keep it up and stay safe!

    Vargs are next level good in hard enduro . So many people think you need a clutch but I find I can hop over anything just as easy without it and so much better not having to manage engine revs . Pretty cool that the varg was competitive in dune drags against a mod 450 and busa but can be smooth enough to crawl shale hills

    It looked like you were riding on a magical elevator going up that boss obstacle. You have insanely good control on that bike. I like rough trails too but my definition of a rough trail is different than yours. The Elephant Hill trail near Moab is rough for me. You could do that one with one hand I think.

  • @bikesbeersbeats

    Crazy that the bikes with a clutch are just wheel spinning and struggling. Maybe Anton is right, it doesnt really need a clutch. After watching Eddie Karlsson win so many hard enduro events this might be my next bike!

    That low end torque. Dang! And the battery life seems more than adequate for a day ride. A reasonable 2-stroke replacement in some use cases. I've got to look up specs on weight, and it would be interested to see the whole group ride it and see how it is for different experience levels.

    • @Ozfreerider_adventures
      @Ozfreerider_adventures 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The traction on vargs has to be experienced to be believed . The control over power delivery is un matched. I can have my bike on the stand and turn back wheel so slow that it’s barely moving and gradually spin it up from that to max speed with full control . Gas bike you have to deal with changing torque curve , clutching and gear changes it’s a lot to deal with
