Kove 650RR launched in China – 124 hp four-cylinder supersport, priced at RM19,000

Launched last month in China is the Kove 650RR, a four-cylinder supersport motorcycle priced at 33,977 yuan (approximately RM19,000). According to Chinese technology news site IT Home , the 650RR went on sale on September 13 at the same price for both the standard model and a special blue edition limited to 777 units.

The 650RR is claimed to reach 100 km/h from a standstill in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 260 km/h. In Malaysia, Kove is represented by MDua Motor , a subsidiary of AFY Mobility Industries, who also distribute Suzuki, MV Agusta and Fantic, while a check with a source inside AFY was unable to confirm if the 650RR would be brought into the country.

Power for the 650RR comes from a liquid-cooled inline-four, 645 cc engine with a 15,000 rpm redline producing 124 PS and 69 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch. Kove claims a kerb weight of 188 kg, with the engine housed in an aluminium frame weighing 11 kg.

The 650RR comes equipped with a six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), enabling lean-sensitive traction control, wheelie control and cornering ABS. Other features include a quickshifter, cruise control, tyre-pressure monitoring and a TFT instrument display.

Rider assistance systems include blind-spot monitoring and lane-change assistance. Suspension is fully adjustable, while braking is handled by dual front discs with four-piston callipers and a single rear disc.

At this price point, the Kove is positioned as a lower-cost alternative to established Japanese four-cylinder supersports motorcycles. The company is also preparing the model for competition in the 2027 World Supersport Championship.
