Kove Hyper

Pengeluar motosikal China, Colove Motorcycles mnawarkan pelbagai model di pasaran negara itu.

Bagaimanapun, dalam satu langkah terbaru, Colove Motorcycles bakal membawa jenama itu ke pasaran global setelah memohon hak tanda dagangan di beberapa pasaran dunia.

Tibet Summit Colove Motorcycles Sales Co. Ltd (Colove) sebelum ini telah menjual motosikal di bawah jenama ‘Colove’ dan Excelle’ namun beberapa model terbaru kini memaparkan nama ‘Kove’.

Dalam perkembangan terbaru, Colove telah pun memfailkan tanda dagangan bagi nama ‘Kove Hyper’ secara serentak di beberapa negara antaranya, Amerika Syarikat, Kanada, Australia, New Zealand, Filipina, Mongola dan Malaysia.

Ini secara tidak langsung memberi bayangan bahawa syarikat motosikal China itu akan membawa barisan model sedia ada untuk pasaran negara.

Buat masa ini tidak dapat dipastikan sama ada Colove merancang memasarkan motosikal Kove dengan sendirinya atau menerusi pengedar sedia ada seperti MForce Bike Holdings yang ketika ini memasarkan beberapa jenama motosikal China antaranya, Benelli, Keeway, SYM, QJMotor dan WMOTO.

Sementara itu, antara model Colove yang mencuri tumpuan ketika ini adalah Excelle 800X dan Excelle 525X dengan kedua-duanya merupakan motosikal ‘adventure touring’.

Excelle 800X dihidupkan enjin parallel-twin 799cc LC8 dari KTM manakala Excelle 522X pula dikuasakan enjin Loncin 471cc parallel-twin yang menawarkan 53hp dan 50Nm.

Chinese motorcycle company, Colove Motorcycles might be another brand to enter the Malaysian market soon.

  • Colove has filed a new trademark rights in Malaysia.

  • the Chinese motorcycle maker plans to expand the brand globally soon.  

Previously offering an interesting array of bikes in its home market of China under the name “Colove” and “Excelle”, the company has since introduced its latest range of two-wheelers under the name “Kove”.

According to the recent reports by Cycleworld, Tibet Summit Colove Motorcycles Sales Co. Ltd or Colove, plans to go global according to the latest trademark application filed.

The company has filed new international trademark rights to the brand “Kove Hyper” in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Mongolia, Philippines, Malaysia, and the World Intellectual Property Office.

This could mean that the brand will somehow make its way to our shores soon.

Although the brand is relatively new, Kove has made several headlines in the last few years, notably its latest offering, the Kove 321RR.

The new motorcycle gained positive reviews from industry experts and local journalists, but the powertrain is suspiciously similar to other established manufacturers.

Earlier this year, Kove was revealed to have been working on a new inline four-cylinder 400cc mill. The company CEO ran the prototype engine in front of the media to dismiss the idea that it simply copies other designs.

The new engine promises a whooping 16,000rpm redline and a peak power of 72.4hp @ 13,500rpm. With the bore and stroke sitting at 59mm x 36.5mm, it doesn’t appear to be related to any 400cc four-cylinder engine already available on the market.

Looking at how well Chinese motorcycle brands are doing in Malaysia with the likes of Benelli, QJMotor, WMOTO and CFMOTO, among others, Kove Motorcycles could be the next in line to do so soon enough.
