KOVE Moto, a rising name in global motorcycles, is officially entering the Malaysian market with the KOVE 800X GT Launch at KEV ADVENDURO, Rawang.
KOVE has a new bike for the adventure segment, which is the KOVE 800X GT. Launched by MDua Motor Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of AFY Mobility Industries (AMI) who has been appointed as KOVE Sole & Exclusive Distributor in Malaysia.
Right now most KOVE bikes are currently offered as CBU (fully imported) units, this partnership ensures that future KOVE models will not only be imported but also fully supported with local assembly, readily available spare parts, after-sales service, and warranty in line with KOVE’s global standards.
Founded in 2017 by a passionate racing-enthusiast in China, KOVE Moto has built its reputation globally on delivering performance motorcycles with serious engineering credentials.
With vertically integrated R&D, design, manufacturing and a philosophy summed up in its tagline, “FOCUS ON PERFORMANCE”, KOVE’s machines strive to be lightweight, high strength and competition capable.
At the heart of today’s unveiling is the KOVE 800X GT which delivers outstanding adventure and touring performance, powered by a 799cc parallel-twin engine producing 97 hp and 80 Nm, complemented by a multi- mode riding system, electronic throttle, KYB shocks suspension and a light dry weight of approximately 195kg.
Proven by its international winning credentials, the 800X GT represents the perfect blend of rugged competition pedigree and practical usability for touring and adventure riding.
The KOVE 800X GT’s main competitors in the mid-weight adventure touring segment are the CFMoto 800MT (both CL and Touring/MT/X versions) and the Yamaha Tenere 700, as well as other mid-range ADV bikes like the Honda Transalp. Key factors when comparing these bikes include engine performance and character, suspension, rider comfort, technology features, and off-road capability.
While the 800X GT has a greater focus on touring, it also competes with more off-road-capable adventure bikes due to its shared platform with the KOVE 800X Pro and Rally.
