On May 20, KOVE launched its first medium-to-large displacement cruiser, the 625V, with a price of 24,980 RMB in the Chinese market.

This highly anticipated new “performance cruiser” product has quickly ignited heated discussions in the domestic motorcycle market with its unique sporty design, advanced power configuration and extremely reasonable price. The KOVE 625V may redefine the competitive landscape of domestically produced mid-displacement cruisers.

In terms of appearance, the 625V continues the classic American style, adopts sharp muscle lines, a short-tail body, a ducktail rear seat, and a central fuel tank cap, making it visually closer to the American sports cruiser style. The iconic V-twin engine is exposed, with dual exhaust and inverted front shock absorbers, and the hardcore mechanical beauty is overwhelming.

It is equipped with a 578cc water-cooled 8-valve V-twin KEV600 engine developed by Loncin, with the maximum power of 45kW/8500rpm, a maximum torque of 60N·m/5500rpm, and a maximum speed of 170km/h. The engine adopts CAE optimized valve timing design to achieve low-speed and high-torque characteristics, which is more suitable for cruiser.

One of the outstanding features of this motorcycle is its fuel tank configuration. The total capacity of the fuel tank is 20L. In addition to the main fuel tank, it is also equipped with a secondary fuel tank(located under the seat cushion). The capacity of the main fuel tank is 15.8L and the secondary fuel tank capacity is 4.2L. The effective range can reach about 500km, which can be said to be a naked bike in a cruiser coat. In addition, another major feature is the overall layout that is not symmetrical. The layout of the motorcycle parts is biased to the left, and its right shock absorber is 6mm closer to the middle than the left one, which further offsets the weight offset caused by the right-mounted dual exhaust, making long-distance riding safer and more comfortable.

The 625V adopts 18-inch front and 16-inch rear wheels, a narrow front and wide rear wheel system, and an ultra-short wheelbase of 1490mm, making the motorcycle light and flexible to control and highly maneuverable. Its braking system is equipped with a front single floating disc＋opposed four-piston caliper, a rear fixed flat disc＋opposed double-piston caliper, and is equipped with a dual-channel ABS and TCS braking system, with full safety performance.

The 3.6-inch round TFT instrument panel supports mobile phone screen projection navigation and other functions to grasp driving information in real time. The self-adjustable handlebars and pedals make the riding posture more comfortable. The special CP material gear lever rubber can effectively avoid leaving marks on the shoe surface. In addition, it’s “plug and go, use” reserved fog lamp interface, original bumper and side bag hanging points that can be installed without drilling holes all demonstrate its unique and advanced concept.

The 625V body uses dual-cured bright paint and is available in main colors such as carbon crystal black(bright black), tungsten steel black(matte black), meteorite silver, and glitter green to meet diverse aesthetic preferences.

The 625V combines KOVE sport racing style thermal management technology with ADV ’s dual fuel tank concept, making it stand out among many cruiser models. Once it was released, it gained heated discussion and favor among cruiser consumers in the Chinese market. We look forward to its subsequent performance in the market.
