Colove Excelle 400RR Marks The Return Of A 400cc Screamer

Chinese motorcycle manufacturer, Colove is currently working on a new motorcycle, the Excelle 400RR, as confirm by new design sketches.

According to the firm, the Excelle 400RR will feature a twin-headlamp setup, full-fairing panel and underbelly exhaust, among others.

The best part about the bike however, is the engine. The Excelle 400RR will run on a 400cc four-cylinder, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine that is capable pumping 73hp @ 13,500rpm and 44Nm @ 12,000rpm.

Interestingly, Colove claimed that the Excelle 400RR is capable of hitting a top speed of 220km/h, that is within the same region as the Honda CBR650R.

The Colove Excelle 400RR will sit on a trellis frame and features a muscular fuel tank, fairing with vents, single-rider saddle and raised windshield much like a proper supersport machine.

The Excelle 400RR will also get the nifty single-sided swingarm, much like the Ducati Panigale.

Meanwhile, stopping power comes from a twin disc brakes at the front along with an ABS for added saftely. Unfortunately, Colove opted for a conventional telescopic fork rather than the ‘fancier’ USD fork.

Based on reports, Colove plans to unveil the Excelle 400RR by the end of the year.

On another note, the company also plans to enter the adventure bike segment with the Colove 800X that will run on a 800cc parallel-twin platform, much similar to KTM’s LC8 engine.
