Stark Future posts record 77% sales growth as it targets enduro bikes expansion in 2026

Electric motorcycle manufacturer Stark Future has recorded its strongest year to date, posting a 77 per cent increase in annual sales and generating €115 million in revenue across 2025. The company says it is now preparing to expand its model range and production capacity through 2026.

Stark confirmed the figures in a business update released this month, outlining a year of sustained growth and continued progress towards profitability. The brand claims to have achieved profit in five out of the last nine months of 2025, as demand for its electric off-road and supermoto models continues to rise.

Strong growth across core dealers and new markets

According to the company, most of the year’s growth came from existing dealer networks. However, it said that “rapid expansion into new regions and markets” was a key contributor to its record performance. Stark reported growth of 97 per cent in the final quarter alone, with electric models now accounting for over three per cent of all enduro motorcycle sales globally.

Stark’s current line-up includes the Varg EX, MX 1.2 and the road-legal SM supermoto. All three models have been instrumental in building the company’s early market share and establishing it as one of the fastest-growing brands in the electric motorcycle sector.

€45 million in new investment during 2025

In December, Stark finalised a €15 million (£13 million) financing agreement with the European Investment Bank, alongside a €25 million (£21 million) equity round with one of its existing shareholders. Combined with previous fundraising activity, the moves brought its total equity investment for 2025 to €45 million (£39 million).

The funding is expected to accelerate development of the company’s next-generation platforms. Stark says it is already working on electric motorcycles for larger segments of the market, extending its focus beyond the off-road sector that has powered its early growth.

CEO Anton Wass: “We grew fast, stayed disciplined”

Anton Wass, CEO and founder of Stark Future, said the brand’s success reflected the increasing maturity of electric motorcycle technology and rider confidence in performance alternatives to combustion engines.

“This year proved a simple theory: when you offer the market electric bikes that are superior to combustion, riders switch,” Wass said. “We grew fast, stayed disciplined, and showed consistent growth while building the supply chain to scale. Next, we take the same winning formula into bigger categories, while we’ll continue our organic growth off-road.”

Wass added that Stark’s long-term strategy is centred on scaling responsibly while maintaining quality control. The company’s 2025 results, he said, demonstrated that electric motorcycles could achieve mainstream acceptance when performance and reliability align with traditional benchmarks.

Competition and next steps for 2026

Stark Future is expected to build on its commercial momentum this year with further model launches and new racing projects. The company has confirmed it will compete at the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo in 2026 — marking the first time electric motorcycles will race under the same sporting and technical regulations as combustion-powered machines.

That entry signals a shift in how electric off-road racing is viewed, with Stark positioning its involvement as both a test of capability and a showcase for its production technology. The manufacturer’s continued participation in mainstream events is seen as a step toward normalising electric competition at elite level.

Stark’s next phase of expansion will focus on scaling manufacturing and extending its global reach, particularly in Europe and North America. With profitability achieved in several months of 2025 and record quarterly performance at year-end, the company is entering 2026 in a position of strength.

“We have shown that riders will make the switch when the technology delivers,” Wass said. “Now our focus is on maintaining that trajectory and bringing electric performance into even more categories.”

Billy Bolt has unveiled his brand-new Crossair HD Purple & Yellow boots to fans – and they have gone into overdrive.

EnduroQUBE star Billy Bolt has revealed the extreme new design in an Instagram post, announcing the boots will make an appearance at Weston Beach Race this weekend before their official release in November.

“First look at new Crossair HD Billy Bolt Purple & Yellow boots! Get a first peek at our stand at Weston Beach Race this weekend before they arrive in November. Don’t miss out!” he wrote.

Fans go wild for bold colours

Supporters immediately piled into the comments, flooding the post with emojis and praise for the bold purple and yellow combination.

One fan wrote: “Now we’re talking good colours!!! 🔥🔥 match my road bike,”

While another simply added: “They look incredible 👏👏😍.”

Others named them “the best boot out there 💯” and “swanky 🔥🔥.”

Overall consensus? Bolt and Sidi have knocked it out of the park with this new model.

The lightest pro boot ever?

It’s not merely about looks. The Crossair HD has been promoted as the globe’s lightest professional motocross boot.

It is built with a fiberglass exoskeleton, having full armour, leg support, and built-in anti-hyperextension system to guard against dangerous movement — all while keeping weights at a minimum.

A super-thin inner panel is designed to give riders increased contact and bike control, and the boots are totally CE Certified Level 2222 for protection.

They retail at £529.99 GBP and should hit the shelves by November with pre-release teasers already in progress in the UK.

With Bolt’s star power behind the release and fans already clamoring for US availability, the new Crossair HD could become the boot of the season overnight.
