After successfully completing the toughest test in the world, the Kove 450Rally is ready for sale in our country, and at an incredible price.
We recently told you something about this new trail off road, a motorcycle made in China that surprises with its aggressive and attractive Dakar aesthetic. And it is that Dakarian essence oozes from all four sides, a clear sign of the passion put into it. Yes, in China they begin to transmit passions…
Let’s remember that three Kove participated in the last Dakar, and all three reached the finish line, a real test of fire that makes it clear that quality and durability are not a problem. Another example is the Kove 321RR-S, with a twin-cylinder engine and which will participate in the SSP300 World Championship this season.
Manufactured by Kove -a brand formerly known as Colove- in two versions, the Factory -for competition- and the Regular Edition -registrable, the protagonist of this article, whose official name is ZF450LS-, is a very off road trail designed for fans of Dakar.
And it is that its semi-fairing with double full LED headlight, the high windscreen, the elevated position of its instrumentation by TFT screen and the general structure of the cycle part, already indicate that it is not a motorcycle designed for asphalt.
It is based on a steel double cradle frame, with a double-arm cast aluminum swingarm, with an inverted fork with 305 mm of travel!, and a monoshock with linkage and 310 mm of travel.
The price of the Kove 450Rally could be around 9,500-10,000 euros
Obviously, with such suspension travel, off roading is its raison d’être. The spoked wheels are 21 and 18”, and it is equipped with a lobed front and rear disc brake, bitten by Nissin double-piston calipers.
As for the engine, it is a single-cylinder -4T, LC, 4V, DOHC, IE Bosch- manufactured by Loncin, with a displacement of 449 cc (94.5 x 64 mm), which offers a good 51 CV.
The continuous and flat seat is 960 mm high -really high-, the wheelbase is 1,490 mm, the tank is 15 liters and the dry weight of the whole is only 145 kg.
And now comes the best, because this Dakar will be on sale in our country towards autumn, in addition to the fact that the price of the Kove 450Rally could be around 9,500 euros!
This amount is based on the fact that the price in the United States of this Kove 450Rally Regular Edition is $8,999, a very tight amount for what is offered.
