VOGE DS800X Rally Claims Adventure Motorcycle Sales Scalp in UK

The VOGE DS800X Rally has scored a major win in the UK motorcycle market, by becoming the best-selling 750cc-1000cc adventure model in October.

According to UK-based Visordown, Voge dealerships already could not keep up with the orders for the bigger DS900X, and as such, the DS800X Rally turned out to be popular, too. It is even more impressive to see that although the latter model had only arrived in the UK in August, it had helped to push VOGE’s sales up by 165% compared to October 2024.

Additionally, VOGE’s sales surge last month was amidst a 9% drop in the overall UK motorcycle market.

VOGE’s success has also seen the brand climb the market share ladder to seventh place.

VOGE has been a major player in the adventure motorcycle segment for a few years in the UK, mainly due to their DS900X, which uses the same engine as the BMW F 900 GS.

VOGE is the high-end in-house brand of Chongqing-based Loncin Holdings, which has had a partnership with BMW for roughly 20 years, building a number of its bikes, including the current F 900 R, F 900 XR, and F 900 GS. Loncin also used to make the engines for the BMW C-series scooters and F 750, F 800, F 850.

VOGE is distributed by MForce Bike Holdings Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia. The DS800X is set to be launched in Malaysia in 2026.

He has since worked in the motorcycle and automotive industry for many years, before taking up riding courses and testing many, many motorcycles since becoming a motojournalist.
