Stark Future, an electric motorcycle manufacturer, has secured the constructors' title in the 2026 FIM SuperEnduro championship. Billy Bolt claimed the individual riders' title on a Husqvarna FE350 at the final round in Newcastle, UK. Stark Future's riders finished fourth and fifth to clinch the manufacturers' honour.
The 2026 FIM SuperEnduro season marked a milestone for electric motorcycles in off-road racing. While British rider Billy Bolt dominated the individual standings, riding a gas-powered Husqvarna FE350 to victory in his hometown round at Newcastle, the constructors' championship went to Stark Future. This indoor series, held in arenas, proved a fitting stage for battery-powered bikes, though Bolt's skill on a traditional four-stroke machine underscored the rider's role over the technology alone. Stark Future's success came through teammates Eddie Karlsson, who placed fourth overall, and Toby Martyn, fifth. Both rode the Stark Varg EX enduro bike. The team overcame significant hurdles, including issues with charging and battery life—challenges absent in conventional combustion-engine bikes. Their consistent performances across the season accumulated enough points for the manufacturers' title, despite not taking the riders' crown. Stark Future has pushed for years to compete head-to-head with internal combustion machines, demonstrating competitiveness when given the chance. The result raises questions about the future, though no speculation on riders switching machines appears in reports.
