Chinese motorcycle manufacturer Kove is a very new player in the game, having first set foot on the global market in 2022. However, its fledgling status in the industry has done little to affect the speed at which the brand has been rolling out new models. We previously talked about its 450cc rally replica, and now, Kove ventures into the mid-size ADV segment with the launch of its 800X Adventure.
The middleweight ADV segment has been growing in popularity in recent years thanks in part to the success of big players like the KTM 790 and 890 Adventure, Yamaha Tenere 700, and Aprilia Tuareg 660. Much more recently, brands like Benelli and CFMoto revealed their own interpretations of the ideal middleweight adventure machine. Now, Kove has done the same, following pretty much the same formula as its counterparts. The new 800X range of adventure bikes is particularly off-road focused, without forgetting about the touring amenities that make an adventure bike and adventure bike.
