Head-to-head
Stark Varg MX 1.2 (Alpha 80hp) vs Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
Sur-Ron Ultra Bee leads on current VoltRipper Score, but rider fit, legality, budget, and support still decide the smarter buy.
| Bike | Score | Price | Peak power | Battery | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stark Varg MX 1.2 (Alpha 80hp) Moto - Expert | 83 | $13,490 | 60 kW | 7.2 kWh | serious motocross, expert riders |
| Sur-Ron Ultra Bee Moto - Intermediate | 89 | $6,499 | 24.5 kW | 4.4 kWh | riders stepping up from a Light Bee, bigger/faster trail duty |
What works
- The fastest electric motocrosser made — up to 80 hp from a 360V, 7.2 kWh system
- App-adjustable power from 10–80 hp adapts to any rider
- Race-grade suspension and a full-size MX chassis
Trade-offs
- Halo price (~$13.5k) — competes with premium gas MX, not trail e-bikes
- Closed-course MX bike — not street-legal (the SM variant is the road option)
- Newer platform; aftermarket still maturing vs. Sur-Ron
What works
- Big 4.4 kWh (74V/60Ah) pack, ~24.5 kW HP listings, and a 59 mph top end — a real step up from the Light Bee
- Full hydraulic discs, DNM suspension, and 2026 wheelie control
- Backed by the largest Sur-Ron dealer + aftermarket network
Trade-offs
- Heavier (~195 lb) and more bike than a beginner needs
- Premium ~$6,500 pricing sits above the trail-class value picks
- Off-road as sold; street use needs a kit and varies by state
