                 The Red Bull Romaniacs is legendary for its brutality. But for 2026, there is a smarter way to be part of the myth: the  e-Moto Class . With the exclusive race service from  DOWATEK , we offer you the perfect all-round care package for your Stark VARG. 
 Why the e-Moto Class? Maximum Fun, Less Stress 
 Many experienced enduro riders hesitate to register for Romaniacs because the physical toll in the combustion classes (Gold, Silver, Bronze) is immense. This is where the e-Moto class changes the game: 
 
 
  Achievable for Every Enduro Rider:  The e-Moto class is absolutely manageable for any experienced enduro rider, even with  minimal specific preparation . 
 
 
  Pure Enjoyment instead of Pure Agony:  While the tracks for the combustion classes are often twice as long and push riders to total exhaustion, the e-Moto track is designed for maximum riding pleasure. 
 
 
  Focus on the Experience:  You get the full Romaniacs atmosphere, the epic views, and the paddock camaraderie without your body giving up after the first day.

                <![CDATA[
                 The Hells Ride is not just another race on the calendar. It is a standalone hard enduro event built on the successful structure of last year’s ÖEC Oberhof round, taking place at the same challenging location in Oberhof im Metnitztal, Austria. 
 The terrain offers everything modern hard enduro stands for: steep hill climbs, technical forest sections, loose rocks and natural obstacles that demand precision, endurance and smart line choices. 
 A Race Format That Rewards Strategy 
 Unlike traditional time-based formats, Hells Ride uses a points-based system: 
 
 
 Riders complete a demanding base lap. 
 
 
 Optional “Outlier” sections offer additional points. 
 
 
 Each rider decides how much risk to take. 
 
 
 The winner is the rider with the highest total score. 
 
 
 This format combines physical strength with tactical decision-making, making the race exciting for professionals and ambitious amateurs alike. 
 Even the Best Had to Push 
 The level of difficulty became clear when even hard enduro legend Graham Jarvis had to put in serious effort to clean all sections. That alone shows the technical standard of the event. 
 Hells Ride is not about pure speed — it is about control, consistency and smart racing. 
 DOWATEK – Event Partner and Driving Force 
 DOWATEK is official event partner and actively involved in the organization. From race concept and class structure to technical implementation, we bring our racing experience directly into the event. 
 A major step forward was the introduction of a dedicated electric class, strongly supported by DOWATEK. This category is perfectly suited for modern electric race bikes like the Stark VARG, combining instant torque, precise throttle control and competitive performance in extreme terrain. 
 Hard Enduro with Vision 
 Hells Ride stands for challenging sections, fair competition and forward-thinking innovation. It connects proven hard enduro traditions with modern race concepts — and sets a benchmark for future events.

                                            The Stark Varg EX and MX have redefined electric off-road riding with extreme power, lightweight design, and cutting-edge technology. However, like many high-performance machines, certain original components reach their limits in hard enduro and extreme terrain.

                <![CDATA[
                 One of the most critical weak points: the  original gearbox cover . 
 This is exactly where the  DOWATEK CNC Aluminum Gearbox Cover for Stark Varg  comes into play – a solution developed from real racing experience, not theory. 
 
 Real-World Testing: Martin Dosch at Red Bull Romaniacs 
 DOWATEK founder  Martin Dosch  is not only an engineer and product developer but also an active extreme enduro rider. In  Red Bull Romaniacs , widely regarded as one of the toughest hard-enduro races in the world, he competed with the  Stark Varg EX  and won the  eMoto Hobby Class . 
 During this event, the bike was exposed to: 
 
 
 Rock impacts 
 
 
 Crashes on steep terrain 
 
 
 Constant vibration and extreme loads 
 
 
 The result:  stock protection is simply not enough  under these conditions. The experience gained during Romaniacs directly influenced the development of DOWATEK protection components – including the reinforced gearbox cover. 
 This means the product is  race-proven under extreme conditions , not just designed for casual riding. 
 
 Common Stark Varg Problems in Hard Enduro Use 
 Despite its outstanding performance, the Stark Varg shows a few known weaknesses when used aggressively: 
 1. Fragile OEM Gearbox Cover 
 The original cover is lightweight but vulnerable. Even a minor rock strike or crash can lead to: 
 
 
 Cracks or punctures 
 
 
 Oil leaks 
 
 
 Costly housing damage 
 
 
 Once damaged, the bike may become unrideable. 
 2. High Repair Costs 
 Unlike traditional bikes, damage to drivetrain components on an electric motorcycle often leads to  expensive repairs . Preventive protection is far cheaper than replacement. 
 3. Designed for Performance, Not Abuse 
 The Stark Varg is built to be light and powerful. For extreme enduro,  reinforcement is essential . 
 
 The DOWATEK CNC Aluminum Gearbox Cover – The Solution 
 The  DOWATEK Gearbox Cover  completely replaces the original part and is precision-machined from high-strength aluminum. 
 Key Advantages: 
 
 
  CNC-milled aluminum  for maximum impact resistance 
 
 
  Full replacement design  – not just an add-on protector 
 
 
  Protects the gearbox housing itself , not only the cover 
 
 
  Race-tested at Red Bull Romaniacs  
 
 
  Perfect fit for Stark Varg EX, MX and SM  
 
 
  Plug &amp;amp; play installation  with OEM mounting points 
 
 
 This upgrade significantly reduces the risk of mechanical failure during aggressive riding. 
 
 Why This Upgrade Makes Sense – Even for Non-Racers 
 You don’t have to race Romaniacs to benefit from proper protection. 
 If you: 
 
 
 Ride rocky trails 
 
 
 Do hard enduro or technical singletrack 
 
 
 Push your Stark Varg beyond casual riding 
 
 
 Then this gearbox cover is  one of the smartest reliability upgrades  you can make. 
 A single avoided crash damage can already justify the investment. 
 
 Conclusion: Essential Protection for Serious Stark Varg Riders 
 The  DOWATEK CNC Aluminum Gearbox Cover  is not just another aftermarket part – it is the result of  real competition experience , developed by a rider who pushed the Stark Varg to its absolute limits. 
 ✔ Maximum protection  ✔ Proven under extreme conditions  ✔ Designed by racers, for riders 
 If you want to protect your Stark Varg properly and ride with confidence, this component should be at the top of your upgrade list. 
 ?  Protect your bike before damage happens – not after.

                <![CDATA[
                  Ten Years of Rally Expertise – Built from the Ground Up  
 Martin Dosch has been part of the  HERO Rally Team for over 10 years , contributing far more than race-week support. From the very beginning, he has been deeply involved in the  development of the rally bike itself , helping to design and refine the motorcycle from scratch. His responsibility has always been clear: create a machine that delivers maximum performance under the most extreme conditions imaginable. 
 The Dakar Rally is not just about speed – it is a brutal test of engineering, reliability, and adaptability. This is exactly where Martin’s expertise comes into play. 
  Mission Dakar: Performance, Precision, Data  
 During the Dakar Rally, Martin Dosch’s focus is on one thing:  making sure the bike performs flawlessly every single day . His responsibilities include: 
 
 
 Ensuring optimal bike performance across changing terrain, temperatures, and stages 
 
 
  Daily data recording and in-depth analysis  of all relevant bike systems 
 
 
 Fine-tuning electronics and electrical systems based on real-world rally data 
 
 
 Translating rider feedback and telemetry into immediate technical improvements 
 
 
 In a race where small technical details can decide between finishing on the podium or retiring early, Martin’s work is a critical success factor for the team. 
  Fresh Talent, Strong Future: Welcome Tobias Ebster  
 Alongside proven technical leadership, the HERO Factory Team is also strengthened by  new riding talent . One of the most exciting additions is  Tobias Ebster , a rising star in the rally-raid world. 
 Coming from a strong background in  motocross and enduro , Tobias made a rapid transition into rally racing. His breakthrough came through the  Road to Dakar  program, where he quickly proved not only his speed, but also his intelligence and mechanical understanding. His Dakar debut was nothing short of impressive – winning the  Original by Motul category  and earning the  Best Rookie  title. 
 Now, as part of the HERO Factory Team, Tobias brings youthful energy, precision riding, and a deep technical understanding of the bike – a perfect match for a team that relies heavily on engineering excellence and data-driven performance. 
  Experience Meets Ambition  
 With  Martin Dosch  overseeing the technical backbone of the bike and  Tobias Ebster  pushing the limits on the stages, the HERO Rally Team combines experience with fresh ambition. It’s a partnership built on trust, innovation, and a shared goal: competing at the highest level of rally-raid racing. 
 For DOWATEK, this involvement is more than motorsport sponsorship – it is a real-world proving ground where engineering solutions are tested under the harshest conditions on the planet. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 We’re proud to be part of this journey and look forward to sharing more insights, data, and behind-the-scenes stories straight from the Dakar bivouac.

                  Experience Meets Vision  
 Behind DOWATEK is  Martin Dosch , founder and lead developer, who brings many years of  hands-on experience in the Supermoto world . His background spans training, racing, and technical development, giving him a deep understanding of what Supermoto riders truly need on asphalt. 
 This experience now flows directly into the development of new components and accessories specifically designed for the  Stark Varg SM . DOWATEK’s approach is not about generic aftermarket parts, but about  well-thought-out, practice-driven solutions  that make electric Supermoto bikes competitive and easy to adopt. 
  Why the Stark Varg SM Is a Game Changer  
 One of the biggest challenges for Supermoto in recent years has been the  lack of training opportunities .  Across many kart tracks in  Germany and Austria , riding traditional combustion-engine Supermoto bikes is heavily restricted or completely banned due to noise regulations. 
 This is exactly where the  Stark Varg SM  changes the game: 
 
 
 extremely  quiet  
 
 
  emission-free  at the point of use 
 
 
 full Supermoto performance 
 
 
 Thanks to its near-silent operation, the Stark Varg SM has the potential to bring Supermoto back to tracks that were previously off-limits, enabling more training days, easier access for newcomers, and entirely new event formats. 
  DOWATEK as a Bridge Between Technology and the Scene  
 By developing products for the Stark Varg SM, DOWATEK aims to actively support  Stark Future’s entry into the Supermoto market . Innovative motorcycles need equally innovative accessories to unlock their full potential. 
 DOWATEK focuses on: 
 
 
 functional performance upgrades 
 
 
 track-ready solutions 
 
 
 easy installation 
 
 
 maximum reliability under real Supermoto conditions 
 
 
 The objective is to help riders transition smoothly to electric Supermoto without compromising performance, control, or durability. 
  Rethinking Supermoto – and Bringing It Back to Life  
 The combination of: 
 
 
 modern electric drivetrain technology 
 
 
 low noise levels 
 
 
 and deep roots in the Supermoto scene 
 
 
 has the potential to  revitalize Supermoto in Germany and Austria . More accessible training leads to more riders, stronger youth development, and ultimately a healthier racing ecosystem. 
 DOWATEK sees the Stark Varg SM not just as a motorcycle, but as a  real opportunity to reshape the future of Supermoto  – sustainable, quiet, and ready for the next generation. 
  Outlook  
 The first DOWATEK products specifically developed for the Stark Varg SM are already in planning and development. The product range will be expanded step by step, always closely aligned with the needs of Supermoto riders. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 One thing is certain:   DOWATEK is committed to actively shaping the future of Supermoto – with the Stark Varg SM at its core.

Developed by Martin Dosch and the DOWATEK team, who brought their expertise from the Red Bull Romaniacs 2025.

                <![CDATA[
                 The linkage is the heart of your Stark VARG EX or MX suspension – it ensures perfect movement and stability. However, in offroad riding, it is exposed to extreme stress: rocks, branches, and hard landings can damage these delicate components and affect your bike’s performance. 
  This is where the DOWATEK PE-HD link guard comes in.  
 
  Why This Protection is Essential  
 DOWATEK doesn’t develop standard solutions – every component is born from real racing experience.  Martin Dosch and his team  know exactly what matters under extreme conditions. Their expertise was proven at the  Red Bull Romaniacs 2025 , where their components withstood the toughest terrain without failure.

                 The Stark VARG EX is redefining the off-road world: powerful, digital, and built for the future. But with its innovative smartphone-based cockpit comes a critical weak point – a sensitive display that is constantly exposed to harsh conditions. 
  Stone impacts, branches, crashes, mud, pressure – all of these can quickly damage your cockpit.   This is exactly why the  Dowatek Smartphone Display Protector for the Stark VARG EX  was developed. 
 
  Developed by professionals, tested in extreme terrain

                 When taking your  Stark VARG EX or MX  offroad, protecting the frame is essential. Frame tubes are particularly vulnerable to damage: rocks, branches, and impacts during falls can leave scratches, dents, or even compromise the paintwork. 
 The  DOWATEK Frame Protection Set Black  is designed to safeguard these critical areas effectively while bringing real racing experience into its design: 
 
 
  UV- and chemical-resistant, carbon-reinforced plastic  ensures high durability and long-lasting protection. 
 
 
  Tool-free installation:  The protection wraps securely around the tubes without any additional fasteners. 
 
 
  Easy to install and remove:  Perfect for maintenance or racing use. 
 
 
  No interference with GPS or smartphone signals , keeping your cockpit electronics fully functional. 
 
 
  Protects against scratches, dents, and paint damage , preserving your bike’s value. 
 
 
  Black finish:  Blends perfectly with most VARG designs. 
 
 
 The set is compatible with  all Stark VARG models , especially EX and MX. It comes with multiple parts: two straight tube guards and one bent guard for each side. 
 Note: The frame protection is currently produced in small batches; minor surface imperfections may appear but do not affect function. Both A-quality and B-quality versions are available: B-quality may have cosmetic flaws but provides the same protection. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
 With this protection, you safeguard your valuable investment – a frame can be expensive, but with the right protection, it stays like new.

                                            The Red Bull Romaniacs are considered one of the toughest Hard Enduro and Extreme Enduro races in the world.

                 For the last season race of the DOWATEK HardEnduroSeries Germany, the series riders headed to East Saxony. After the 2019 season, the season finale took place for the second time in Schwepnitz. Already on Friday, despite the rainy weather during their arrival, the eyes of the riders sparkled. The Quadpoint had invested a lot of work into the track over the past months. Everyone was curious to see how the new rock field would look in reality. Until then, there had only been photos and videos. However, on-site, some riders raised their eyebrows, especially when it was decided that the rock field would be ridden downhill in the group race. The numerous fans once again created a record attendance in Schwepnitz. With significantly nicer weather on Saturday, they could look forward to the duel between Strauss and Hentschel. Henry Strauss arrived at the final with a 6-point lead over Leon Hentschel and could therefore adopt a more tactical approach. Facts, Isegrim Enduro Schwepnitz 05.10.2024 Weather: 11 degress, cloudy ACE Bikes Prolog Award Winner: Henry Strauss (KTM) Winner: Leon Hentschel (BETA) Fastest Lap: Leon Hentschel (BETA), 07:50,933 Pre-decision already in the ACE Bikes Prolog Award? In fresh weather conditions, the starting signal for the ACE Bikes Prolog Award was given punctually at 8:45 a.m., triggered by a specially appointed hunter. Henry Strauss, who entered this classification as the leader, started first on the slightly over 2-minute long lap. In addition to some technical sections, such as a small rock field and the Matrix, there were also fluid sections, which earned the prologue much praise. The KTM rider managed to hold the best time until the end, securing the ACE Bikes Prolog Award. Hentschel finished third behind Frost, losing two more points in the championship standings as a result. Chaos in the Rock Field. At 11 a.m., the first group race was started. In this race, the duel between the two giants of the series entered the next round. The lead changed hands several times, but in the end, Leon Hentschel secured the victory in the group race ahead of Strauss. However, since this race was only about qualifying for the final and no points were awarded, the standings initially remained unchanged. Like many others, Strauss also had some difficulties in the rock field. The ladies had to fight particularly hard in the second group race, as the battle for the championship was at the forefront for them. Eva Täuber secured both the daily victory and the overall championship. At the front, Charlie Frost had an easy time and won the second group race. Finale Grande turned into a thriller. With an 8-point lead, Henry Strauss entered the final. However, he couldn’t take it too lightly; while a fourth place would suffice, the expected traffic jam in the rock field, which had to be ridden uphill, meant anything could happen. In the first round, the big duel commenced, with Charlie Frost also getting involved. All three were in the rock field, with Hentschel being the first to reach the champion arch. For the Uelzener, there was only one motto: “Full throttle and away.” He managed to do just that, and despite a spectacular crash in the last meters at the tunnel jump, he secured the daily victory, allowing him to claim the second wolf as a trophy. “It was a really awesome race. It was a blast, and the track was top-notch. We’ll be back next year,” Hentschel expressed, visibly satisfied after the awards ceremony. However, this victory had no significance for the championship. Henry Strauss drove tactically smart and secured second place, which was enough to win the championship with a 5-point lead. With this, Henry, at 15 years old, is the youngest champion of the series, and it will be hard to beat this age in the future. Correspondingly happy, he participated in the champion interview: “The day started pretty well with the prologue, as I managed to complete a good lap. However, I had some difficulties in the rock field during the group race. In the final, it got better from round to round, which was enough for second place. I’m really excited that it ultimately led to the championship.” Charlie Frost secured third place in the daily standings. The Brit faced issues with his chain, causing him to fall back and no longer be able to challenge the top 2. Decisions were still open for the amateurs and seniors as well. Rene Jerbach can look forward to some pocket money for the trip to Sea to Sky. Despite an incident, he secured the championship in the seniors category. In the amateurs, it was Elias Theodossiou who claimed the championship title. The day’s victory went to Fabian Heil, allowing him to move up to third place. The final race in Schwepnitz will remain in everyone’s memory for a long time. With excellent organization, a festival tent for the championship awards and party, as well as a full-day moderator, Schwepnitz has set new standards at the end of the year. However, all eyes are already looking forward: Registration for the 2025 season begins, as always, on January 1, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. Current information on the DOWATEK HardEnduroSeries Germany can always be found at www.hardenduro-germany.de and on social media.
