Stark Future just inked a major multi-year partnership with MOTOREX, the Swiss lubrication specialists with over a century of motorsport pedigree. If you’ve been following the electric off-road scene, you know this is more than just another logo on a bike.
More Than a Sticker Deal
MOTOREX isn’t just slapping their name on Stark’s race bikes and calling it a day. The agreement covers the full production pipeline of the Stark VARG — from first-fill transmission oils and coolants to the high-performance greases used during assembly. That means every VARG rolling off the line in Barcelona is already running on MOTOREX fluids before it ever sees a dealer floor. And if you buy one, the owner’s manual will point you straight to the full MOTOREX range for continued service.
That level of production integration is what separates a real partnership from a sponsorship deal. MOTOREX isn’t just paying for visibility — they’re part of the manufacturing process.
Racing Validation
This partnership isn’t starting from zero, either. Stark and MOTOREX have already been working together behind the scenes, and the results speak for themselves. Stark just clinched the 2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship Manufacturers’ title — a massive achievement for a brand that only shipped its first bikes a few years ago.
That championship win is exactly the kind of proof point that matters in the electric motorcycle space. Skeptics have long questioned whether electric off-road bikes can compete at the highest level against gasoline. The SuperEnduro title, secured with MOTOREX fluids in the drivetrain, answers that question decisively.
The racing scope extends beyond SuperEnduro, too — MOTOREX will support Stark’s efforts in World Supercross, Hard Enduro, and EnduroGP. That’s the full spectrum of off-road competition, from stadium tracks to the nastiest terrain on the planet.
What This Means for the Segment
For the electric motorcycle industry, partnerships like this one signal a maturation that’s been a long time coming. When established motorsport suppliers like MOTOREX — a company that’s been around since 1917 and supplies factory teams in MotoGP, WorldSBK, and Endurance racing — commit to an electric manufacturer at the production level, it says something about where the industry sees the trajectory.
It also addresses one of the lingering pain points for electric motorcycle owners: service and maintenance. Having a clear, manufacturer-recommended lubricant path from a trusted global brand removes some of the uncertainty around keeping an electric bike running long-term. It’s a small thing, but it matters for resale value and rider confidence.
Quotes Worth Reading
Morgan Karlsson, Chief Marketing Officer at Stark Future, put it well: “At Stark, everything starts with how the bike performs under real conditions, and MOTOREX brings the same mindset — products developed through racing and proven under pressure.”
Milena Koerner, International Sponsorship Coordinator at MOTOREX, added: “Stark Future is a pioneering brand that stands for innovation, high performance, and a strong vision for the future of off-road motorcycling — values that fit perfectly with MOTOREX.”
Two companies speaking the same language. That’s the kind of chemistry that actually produces results.
The Bigger Picture
Stark Future was founded in early 2020 in Barcelona by a team with deep motocross roots. In just six years, they’ve gone from startup to SuperEnduro champions with a production bike that’s genuinely competitive with 450cc four-strokes. Partnerships like this one with MOTOREX are the infrastructure layer that turns a promising startup into a lasting manufacturer.
For MOTOREX, it’s a bet on electric that aligns with their racing-first identity. They’re not hedging — they’re all in on Stark’s vision. And with a world championship already in the books, it’s hard to argue with the results.
