Development trends in China
The rise of Chinese motorcycle brands as independent, quality-oriented manufacturers is a sign of change in the industry. Kove is at the forefront of this change with its 800X range, offering models that are suitable for both on- and off-road riding.
Three variants of the Kove 800X
The series consists of the Adventure, Adventure PRO and Rally models. All are based on a 799 cc two-cylinder engine with 71 hp (94 hp, 70 kW) and 80 Nm torque. Each model has specific features that make it suitable for different areas of use.

The entry-level Adventure model offers a seat height of 835 mm and a ground clearance of 245 mm. Its technical features include a 310 mm double disc brake and suspension with 210 mm travel. The top speed is 210 km/h (130 mph).

Kove 800X Rally
The Kove 800X Rally is the top model for off-road fans. It offers a ground clearance of 293 mm, advanced suspension and a low dry weight of 169 kg (373 lbs). Despite a lower top speed of 185 km/h (115 mph), it is characterized by its off-road performance.
Technical aspects
The models in the 800X series are equipped with modern technology, including tubeless tires, a TFT display and full LED lighting. A special feature is the ABS system, which can be switched off for added safety.
