For adventure bike buyers, the scene is about to get even more exciting than it already is. The segment was once dominated by the likes of the BMW GS and the Ducati Multistrada, but the industry is changing thanks to a surge of options for budget-conscious riders.

The Japanese brands have their own fair share of pocket friendly machines, but when it comes to offering feature packed models at a budget, it is difficult to beat the Chinese with the likes of Benelli, CFMoto and now Kove (pronounced as Ko-Vey).

Kove is likely to become a household name in a few years particularly after the company successfully partake in the 2023 Dakar Rally by fielding three bikes. 

  • Kove begins the 2023 calendar year with an all-new naked roadster.
  • The Cobra 321 makes 40hp and 27.1Nm from its 321cc parallel-twin mill. 

Since the brand also sets out to compete in the 2023 SSP300, the Chinese motorcycle manufacturer is looking serious to make itself global despite only made its global debut at the 2022 EICMA show. 

In another move, Kove recently expanded its range of motorcycles by introducing the Cobra 321. As the name suggest, the naked roadster features a 321cc parallel-twin engine which Kove claimed makes 40hp and 27.1Nm.

Interestingly, the 321cc mill resembles to that of the Yamaha MT-03 and R3. That said, it is likely that the Kove-build engine was develop with reference to the Japanese powertrain. 

Power is then delivered to the rear wheel via a six-speed manual transmission.

Housing the engine is a steel tubular frame linked to a single-sided swingarm, a feature commonly found in bigger and high-performance road bike. 

Other notable features include a full-LED lighting, 17-inch front and rear wheels, inverted front forks and a rear monoshock (preload adjustable). 

Stopping power comes from a front and rear disc brakes equipped with ABS paired to an radially-mounted Nissin callipers.

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.
