KOVE 450 RALLY – READY FOR ADVENTURE
Helmet on. Pick a direction and go.
The Kove 450 Rally is a proper lightweight, long-range rally motorcycle designed for riders who want genuine off-road capability without the size and weight of a traditional adventure bike.
Developed through extensive desert testing and competition, this isn't an adventure-styled road bike. The 450 Rally has been engineered from the outset around serious off-road and long-distance riding.
At its heart is a 449cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected single-cylinder engine with a counterbalancer and DOHC cylinder head. Producing 38kW (approximately 51 bhp), it's smooth and mechanically quiet but loves to rev when you ask for more.
With a dry weight of approximately 145kg, 260mm front suspension travel, 250mm rear travel, 270mm ground clearance and proper 21"/18" wheels, the Kove is remarkably manageable both sitting and standing.
The slim bodywork and narrow engine side covers give the bike a natural standing riding position, while extensive use of lightweight components makes it easy to control when the terrain gets difficult.
The Regular Edition is also a particularly usable version of the 450 Rally. LED lighting gives excellent visibility and road presence, while the overall specification makes it equally suited to everyday riding, trail riding, rally competition and serious overland travel.
PROVEN, NOT JUST PROMOTED
One of the things that sets Kove apart is how the 450 Rally was developed.
The factory spent years testing its rally platform in the desert and in competition, including at the highest levels of international rally raid. This is a motorcycle whose engineering has been developed in the environment it was actually designed to tackle.
We've already supplied Koves to serious explorers and rally competitors who appreciate the combination of specification, low weight and attention to detail.
UK PARTS SUPPORT
Parts availability doesn't need to be a concern.
Parts are stocked in the UK and can normally be dispatched on a next-day Parcelforce service. We can also supply additional routine maintenance and service parts with the motorcycle if required, and replacement parts are very reasonably priced.
