The fast-rising manufacturer has officially unveiled its highly anticipated range of Rally Dakar bikes, and the newest range of Dakar Rally bikes, the 125 and 350 engine options. The display brings together contrasting elements of hard-edged Dakar competition history, aggressive street platforms, and accessible lightweight engineering design.
The Four-Cylinder Predator Reshaped – 650RR
The newest look to the Kove 650RR has officially broken cover on the pavilion floor, bringing an uncompromising supersport weapon to the middleweight sector. Configured to head up Kove's upcoming global race campaigns, this machine commands a striking presence under the exhibition spotlights with its high-strength twin-spar frame, lightweight aluminium subframe, and aggressive aerodynamic racing fairings. The focused, track-tuned chassis is designed to eliminate handling compromises on high-speed circuits.
A deep dive into the mechanical specifications reveals a high-performance 645cc inline four-cylinder engine operating with an electronic throttle control package. This technical masterpiece is built to scream, unleashing a massive 80kW of maximum power at 13,000rpm alongside 60N•m of peak torque peaking at 11,000rpm for remarkably responsive power delivery. The flagship component package introduces an elite array of track-ready electronic aids, combining a six-axis IMU, cornering ABS, and a bi-directional quickshifter to ensure absolute chassis stability under heavy performance riding.
Dual Rally Weapons – 125 & 350 Rally
Stepping into the Wednesday spotlight is a dual-model off-road deployment that expands Kove’s signature desert-racing lineup across two distinct displacement classes. Both variants embrace pure rally-raid geometry, utilizing dirt-ready 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked wheel combinations engineered to tackle demanding off-road terrain.
While sharing a focused back-country stance, Kove has split this platform into two distinct operational goals:
The Lightweight Trail Entry (125 Rally): Built as an incredibly nimble entry point into adventure riding, this model strips away unnecessary mass to achieve a featherweight 122kg dry weight. It offers a highly manageable, accessible footprint for A1 licence holders and trail enthusiasts who want uncompromised off-road agility without an intimidating physical presence.
The Serious Desert Explorer (350 Rally): Engineered for longer, grueling backcountry treks, this variation steps up to a robust 349.9cc single-cylinder engine. To survive extended cross-country explorations, it comes factory-equipped with a massive 21L high-capacity fuel tank, long-travel suspension travel, Dual Counter-Balancers to heavily isolate engine vibration, and a specialized dry-sump lubrication system built to sustain continuous vertical punishment in open sand ruts.
Kove Staging Area
The Factory Rally Stage
This corner of the pavilion highlights Kove’s primary core identity, heavily decorated with authentic Dakar heritage. The star attraction here is the production-ready 450 Rally, an established racing platform built with multi-tank fuel cells and long-travel suspension architectures engineered to take relentless punishment across open backcountry routes.
Next-Gen Electric Innovation
Tucked neatly along the elevated display tiers, this sector turns the focus entirely toward alternative powertrains and futuristic chassis construction. The engineering here centers on the high-output E-500RR, a cutting-edge platform pairing Kove's self-developed liquid-cooled axial-flux motor with a race-tuned chassis targeting a power output above 50kW while keeping total weight below 150kg.
Intelligent Transmission Hub
This technical display zone shines a light on a major mechanical milestone for the manufacturer: the in-house developed Kove Electronic Clutch (KEC). Utilizing complex sensor inputs to govern automatic engagement and disengagement, the module allows riders to switch between Manual, Automatic, and Automated Manual modes, with a technical roadmap aimed at rolling out on production combustion models starting in the second half of 2027.
