Electric Bikes Enter Hard Enduro’s Toughest Stage
There is something different coming to the start line at 24MX Alestrem 2026. For the first round of the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship, electric motorcycles will line up alongside traditional machines, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the sport.
Meet the Riders Leading the Charge
Toby Martyn will showcase his Stark VARG EX, bringing his precision riding style into one of the toughest environments in motorsport. Known for his smooth control and technical finesse, Martyn represents exactly the kind of rider suited to electric power delivery. Joining him is Eddie Karlsson, a rider who has already proven what electric motorcycles are capable of in extreme terrain.
In 2025, Karlsson made history by winning the Silver Class at Red Bull Romaniacs on a Stark VARG EX. This proving electric bikes could survive, compete and they could win. Now, he steps onto the world championship stage.
And then there is a name that defines the sport itself. Graham Jarvis.A rider whose career spans decades at the very top of Hard Enduro, known for multiple victories at the sport’s most iconic events and a level of consistency that has set the benchmark for generations.
At 24MX Alestrem, Jarvis will line up on the Jarv-e Raw Edition, bringing electric technology into the hands of the most experienced rider the sport has ever seen.
If there was ever a moment where past, present, and future meet on the same start line, this is it. A Different Way to Ride Electric motorcycles change the way you race.
