KOVE Debuts 650RR Four-Cylinder and Two Electric Bikes at EICMA

Milan – November 03, 2026 -- KOVE used EICMA on 3 November 2026 to unveil five new motorcycles: the 125 RALLY, 350 RALLY and 650RR, plus the electric BONIC and E-500RR. The brand also showed its in-house KOVE Electronic Clutch and its 2027 racing lineups.

The 125 and 350 RALLY both run a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel

The 125 RALLY weighs 122 kg dry and is pitched as a lightweight way into adventure riding. The 350 RALLY uses a 349.9cc engine, a 21-litre tank and long-travel suspension for longer rides. Dual Counter-Balancers reduce vibration, and dry-sump lubrication supports demanding off-road use.

The 650RR delivers 80 kW from an all-new inline-four

The supersport 650RR has a 645cc inline-four with electronic throttle control. It makes 80 kW at 13,000 rpm and 60 N·m at 11,000 rpm. A high-strength twin-spar frame and aluminium subframe carry the engine. Electronics include a six-axis IMU, a bi-directional quickshifter and cornering ABS.

Two electric bikes target lightweight off-road and race-tuned performance

The BONIC pairs a bird-bone-inspired biomimetic structure with Dakar-informed chassis tuning, focusing on low weight and off-road control. The E-500RR combines KOVE's self-developed liquid-cooled axial-flux motor with a race-tuned chassis. KOVE targets power above 50 kW and weight below 150 kg.

The electronic clutch offers three modes and arrives by 2028

KOVE Electronic Clutch uses sensor inputs to control clutch engagement and disengagement. Riders can choose Manual, Automatic or Automated Manual mode. The roadmap targets the second half of 2027 for the three combustion models and the first half of 2028 for the clutch.

KOVE's race record backs the 2027 lineups

KOVE made its Dakar debut in 2023, and all three of its motorcycles finished. In 2025, factory rider Beñat Fernández won the WorldSSP300 title. In 2026, the 450RR, the smallest-displacement motorcycle in WorldSPB, scored 20 points and set a race lap record at Assen. Neels Theric took three Dakar Rally2 stage wins.

For 2027, European champion Iker García and WorldSPB race winner Antonio Torres join KOVE's planned 650RR WorldSPB campaign. French enduro champion Hugo Blanjoue joins Neels Theric and Sunier in the rally team.
