Voge

Jenama Loncin mungkin masih asing di Malaysia namun pengeluar motosikal China itu merupakan pihak bertanggungjawab menghasilkan enjin bagi beberapa model BMW antaranya C 400 X, C 400 GT, F 850 GS, F 900 R, F 900 XR dan terbaru F 900 GS. 

Senario itu secara tak langsung membuktikan kemampuan Loncin dalam menghasilkan enjin yang bukan sahaja berkuasa malah berkualiti dan dipercayai jenama motosikal Jerman itu. 

Menariknya, Loncin menerusi jenama premium Voge turut memperkenalkan motosikal ‘adventure’ serba baharu, Voge 900 DS yang mengguna pakai enjin sama dibekalkan kepada BMW bagi F 900 GS. 

Terbaru, kami diberitahu bahawa Voge 900 DS itu akan turut memasuki Malaysia pada 2024 menerusi MForce Bike Holdings Sdn Bhd. Menurut sumber, motosikal ‘adventure’ itu akan memasuki pasaran tempatan sekitar Februari dan bakal menjadi model sulung dari Voge yang akan dipasarkan disini. 

Pada masa sama, kami juga diberitahu sasaran awal adalah untuk model ‘adventure’ ini dipasarkan pada harga bawah RM60k.

Untuk rekod, Voge 900 DS dikuasakan enjin parallel-twin 895cc dengan sistem penyejukan cecair yang berupaya menghasilkan 96.5hp dan 87Nm. Kuasa pula disalurkan kepada tayar belakang menerusi transmisi manual 6-kelajuan yang dibantu sistem ‘quickshifter’. 

Seperti model BMW F 900 R/XR dan GS, 900 DS ini juga menawarkan pakej elektronik yang lengkap termasuk:

  • throttle-by-wire
  • panel meter TFT
  • cruise control
  • heated grip/seat

Voge 900 DS ini juga dlengkapi dengan kelengkapan premium termasuk sistem suspensi boleh laras, pencahayaan LED penuh dengan DRL (daytime running light), brek Brembo dan ABS dwi-saluran. 

Buat masa ini belum ada pengumuman rasmi dari pihak MForce namun kami akan bawakan perkembangan lanjut dari masa ke masa. 

Kebelakangan ini pengeluar motosikal dunia gemar menghasilkan motosikal bersesaran 660cc antaranya Aprilia dengan RS 660, Tuono 660 dan Tuareg 660 sebelum diekori Triumph dengan Trident 660 dan Tiger Spprt 660. 

Dalam perkembangan terbaru, sebuah lagi pengeluar motosikal, kali ini dari China bakal mengikut jejak sama. Berdasarkan laporan terkini, Voge dikhabarkan sedang membangunkan sebuah jentera ‘sportsbike’ 4-inline 660cc. 

Maklumat tersebut timbul selepas mesyuarat pengedar Voge yang berlangsung di China baru-baru ini. Ketika program tersebut, gambar slaid yang disiarkan telah tular lantas mendedahkan info menarik tentang motosikal tersebut. 

Pertamanya, ketika Aprilia memilih platform parallel-twin dan Triumph dengan tiga silinder, Voge pula memilih jalan tradisional dengan konfigurasi 4-inline. 

Meskipun slaid tersebut tidak mendedahkan kuasa dan tork yang dihasilkan namun tertera jentera tersebut mampu mencapai kelajuan maksima 200km/j dan boleh melakukan 0-100km/j dalam tempoh 3.5 saat. 

Antara info lain yang berjaya dikorek termasuk kaliper brek 4-pot depan jenama Brembo dan tayar Pirello Diabo depan dan belakang. Pakej suspensi pula hadir menerusi jenama KYB. Menariknya, model akan datang itu juga dilengkapi dengan swingarm jenis ‘single-sided’. 

Antara kelengkapan lain ditawarkan termasuk ‘traction control’ dan ABS dwi-saluran, serta panel meter TFT. 

Berdasarkan info dikongsikan, jelas Voge cukup serius dalam pembangunan jentera ‘sportsbike’ tersebut. Apa pun, segalanya akan terjawab sebaik model ini diperkenalkan secara rasmi nanti. 

After successfully penetrating the European market with a beginner-friendly naked and neo retro motorcycle, Voge, a premium sub-brand of Chinese motorcycle manufactuer, Loncin, now breached out to middleweight capacity adventure bike, with the all-new Valico 525 DSX. 

  • Voge Valico 525 DSX is an A2-compliant adventure motorcycle.
  • The Valico 525 DSX will go up against Honda’ CB500X and Benelli’s TRK 502 X. 

The Valico 525 DSX features a 494cc parallel-twin with liquid-coole and fuel-injected engine that makes 47hp on tap, similar to the Honda CB500X.

That said, the Valico 525 DSX is designed as a A2-compliant motorcycle making it a suitable option for younger riders. 

Similar to modern day ADV machine, the Voge Valico 525 DSX is fitted with inverted front forks with long-travel suspension at the front and adjustable monoshock at the rear. 

However, while the rest of its competitors features alloy wheels, the Valico 525 DSX gets tubeless wire-spoke wheels measuring 19-inch front and 17-inch at the back.

In addition, the motorcycle also equipped with traction control and ABS – which can be switched off for off-road riding – selectable Eco and Sport mode and a full colour 7-inch TFT display with built-in navigation system.

This inadvertently puts the Voge Valico 525 DSX as a strong contender in the 500cc category, going up against the CB500X and Benelli TKR 502 X. 

You might not be familiar with the Loncin brand, but it is the firm responsible for manufacturing the engine for BMW’s C 400 X, C 400 GT, F 850 GS, F 900 R and F 900 XR. 

  • Loncin rolls out Voge  the new 900DS adventure at EICMA. 
  • The Voge 900DS features a similar powertrain to BMW’s F 900 XR, producing close to 100hp and 92Nm. 

Loncin and BMW have been working together for years now, similar to CFMOTO’s partnership with KTM.

While it may took a while for Loncin, through its premium Voge brand, to work on its own motorcycle range but the 900 DS adventure motorcycle is officially here.

 

Using the BMW commissioned engine, the Voge 900 DS is fitted with the same engine as the BMW F900 R/XR, an 895cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, parallel-twin that pumps out 96.5hp and 87Nm. 

Power is sent to the rear wheel via a 6-speed manual transmission regulated by an up/down quickshifter as standard. 

Similar to its BMW counterpart, the Voge 900DS features a host of electronics including throttle-by-wire system.  Information related to the motorcycle can be accessed via a full-colour TFT display. 

Other handy features include:

  • USB port.
  • cruise control.
  • heated grips and heated seats.
  • complete aluminium side and top case.

In addition, the 900DS also features some premium components including fully adjustable suspension, Brembo brakes and dual-channel ABS. 

As a standard adventure capable motorcycle, the 900DS is fitted with 21-inch front and 17-inch rear spoked wheels as standard. While the 825mm seat height is impressive, the Voge 900DS is noticeably heavy at 220kg. 

You might not be familiar with the Loncin brand, but it is the firm responsible for manufacturing the engine for BMW’s C 400 X, C 400 GT, F 850 GS, F 900 R and F 900 XR. 

  • Loncin to roll out Voge 900DS adventure motorcycle in November.
  • The Voge 900DS features a similar powertrain to BMW’s F 900 XR, producing close to 100hp and 92Nm.

That said, it took a while for Loncin, through its premium Voge brand, to work on its own motorcycle range using the BMW-commissioned engine. 

However, things are about to change as Voge is scheduled to introduce an adventure-type motorcycle, dubbed the Voge 900DS, soon.

The Voge 900DS – presumably refers to as Dual Sport – is like to share the same parallel-twin engine as the F 900 XR. While further details regarding the powertrain remain scarce, it’s almost sure to be an 895cc parallel-twin unit. 

Having said that, it is likely to produce close to 100hp and 92Nm, similar to the BMW F 900 XR. 

Looking at the leak photos, the Voge 900DS looks inspired not just by the F 850 GS bodywork but also by some aspect of Triumph’s Tiger 900 range, specifically the front fascia. 

Nonetheless, it looks well-built, and the slim subframe gives off an aggressive and rugged look. 

While not much is disclosed regarding the new motorcycle, the Voge 900DS is expected to break cover at EICMA in November. 

Chinese motorcycle manufacturer Voge has introduced the 2022 Valico 300 Rally variant in Italy.

  • the 300 Rally now joins the base strim in Italy.
  • features 292cc single-cylinder engine that puts out 28.6hp and 25Nm. 

The Rally variant will now join the based model launched just one month ago in the country.

Powered by the same engine as the standard trim, the Valico 300 Rally features a 292cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine that pumps a respectable 28.6hp @ 9,000rpm and 25Nm @ 6,500rpm.

The drivetrain is mated to a six-speed manual transmission with the engine fed from an 11L fuel tank. In addition, Voge claimed that the Rally could reach around 300 kilometres with a full tank of gas.

Like the base model, the Valico 300 Rally is fitted with high-strength steel tubes, an upside-down front fork with 205mm of travel, and an adjustable preload mono-shock at the rear.

Braking is done with a single axial-mounted calliper with a 265mm disc at the front and 220mm disc at the rear and regulated by a dual-channel ABS. The ABS can also be deactivated. 

Considering the Rally is a motorcycle built for gnarly road conditions, the Valico 300 Rally features all the necessary aspects to make it off-road capable, including a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel, 1,430mm wheelbase and seat height of 905mm. Weighs just 150kg (dry), the Rally is suitable for not only experienced riders but also beginners.

Other notable features include:

  • digital LCD instrument cluster
  • USB port
  • handleguards
  • halogen headlamps with LED taillights

According to Voge, the Valico 300 Rally is available in Italy for a recommended selling price of EUR4,440 (RM20.4k). 

 

Chinese motorcycle manufacturer, Voge, has expanded its 300cc single-cylinder range with the 300 ACX, a scrambler-type motorcycle.

Despite sharing the same chassis and engine as its sibling (300 AC), the 300 ACX features a higher ground clearance thanks to a longer travel suspension, wire-spoke wheels, and knobby tires.

 

Other exciting features include:

  • full-LED headlight
  • digital display
  • Bosch ABS
  • dual-disc (front)
  • single-disc (rear)
  • USB port
  • one-piece seat with stitching
  • 798mm seat height
  • 110/70-17 front tire
  • 150/60-17 rear tire

Nonetheless, the Voge 300 ACX continues to draw its power from the same Euro 5 292cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine capable of producing 26hp @ 8,500rpm and 23.2Nm @ 6,500rpm.

 

The Voge 300 ACX is available in Europe for EUR4,195 (RM20.8k).
