Electric motorcycle manufacturer Stark Future is taking a bold stance against the MXGP championship’s plan to create a separate Electric Support Class for electric bikes. In a recent press release, Stark Future expressed its opposition to the proposed segregation, arguing that integration is the key to driving technological advancements and pushing the boundaries of motocross.
While acknowledging the MXGP’s goal of promoting innovation, Stark Future believes that creating a separate class for electric bikes compromises the essence of competition and risks stifling progress. Instead, the company advocates for the integration of electric bikes into the existing MXGP grid framework, where all machines can compete head-to-head.
Stark Future envisions a future where the fastest motocross machines, regardless of their power source, engage in true competition, pushing the sport to new heights of performance and innovation. The company firmly believes that electric bikes are not a compromise but a formidable contender, capable of demonstrating their worth against their gasoline-powered counterparts.
Integrating electric bikes into MXGP not only promotes innovation but also addresses critical challenges such as noise pollution, maintenance costs, and accessibility. By embracing new technologies at the highest level of racing, Stark Future aims to make motocross more captivating for fans and foster the strongest technological improvements across the board.
While it is true that electric motorcycles have yet to match the performance of gasoline-powered bikes in circuit racing, off-road riding presents a different scenario. With shorter distances and slower top speeds, electric bikes have the potential to compete effectively. Manufacturers like Stark should have the opportunity to go up against 450s or 250s, as long as they can meet the required qualifying times.
The inclusion of electric bikes in MXGP would not only revitalize innovation within the sport but also attract a wider audience. By providing better viewing figures for MXGP programs, this integration would benefit not only the motocross community but also the industry as a whole.
In conclusion, Stark Future calls on MXGP/Infront to reconsider their proposal for a separate Electric Support Class and explore avenues for seamless integration of electric bikes into the MXGP and MX2 grids. It is time to embrace the challenge, promote innovation, and ensure that motocross continues to thrive for generations to come.
