B2B News | Stark Future has begun 2026 with significant acceleration, delivering more than 200% year-on-year growth in January. Tripling sales in a softer overall market underscores sustained demand for high-performance electric motorcycles and growing confidence among customers, dealers, suppliers, and financial partners. Recent international podium finishes further validate the reliability and performance of Stark’s electric platform under world-class racing conditions, reinforcing the company’s strong commercial trajectory.
The start to 2026 reflects not only demand strength, but a more mature operating foundation. Over recent months, Stark has sharpened execution across the organisation, building clearer operating rhythms with suppliers and dealers while intensifying its focus on unit economics. Targeted capital expenditure has been deployed across manufacturing, quality control, and diagnostics, including line balancing, end-of-line test automation, and app-enabled service tools , all designed to increase throughput, improve first-fix rates, and deliver a more predictable production cadence.
“January’s 3x year-on-year growth reflects both healthy demand and the operational performance we have built into the company,” said Anton Wass, CEO and Founder of Stark Future. “In 2026, our focus is controlled growth, operational excellence, and long-term platform innovation. We are investing heavily in R&D to expand into the large street motorcycle categories, while strengthening our supply chain to further improve margins and build a more predictable, scalable business for riders, dealers, and stakeholders.”
Stark continues to advance motorcycle-specific cell formats and battery pack architectures for future platforms, enhancing performance, range, and cost efficiency. A multi-sourcing strategy across strategic components has further strengthened supply resilience, stabilised lead times, and supported margin discipline as volumes scale.
To accelerate innovation and support its product roadmap, the company has approved a €36 million CAPEX programme for motorcycle R&D in 2026. The investment is primarily focused on new street motorcycle platforms, including the development of next-generation, high-performance electric powertrains and the advanced test-and-measurement infrastructure required to bring technologies from prototype to series production. Where necessary, Stark has also adapted logistics and sourcing strategies to navigate evolving global trade conditions without compromising quality, compliance, or performance.
