MILAN, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KOVE unveiled the 125 RALLY, 350 RALLY and 650RR at EICMA on 3 November 2026, alongside the BONIC and E-500RR electric motorcycles, KOVE Electronic Clutch and its 2027 racing lineups.
KOVE specializes in premium motorcycles, combining in-house R&D with experience from top-level international racing to strengthen its engineering capabilities. Building on established models such as the 450 RALLY and 800X, the new models expand KOVE's lineup across rally, supersport and electric motorcycles, reinforcing its position at the forefront of China's premium motorcycle industry.
Both the 125 RALLY and 350 RALLY feature 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels. At 122kg dry weight, the 125 offers a lightweight entry into adventure riding, while the 350 combines a 349.9cc engine, 21L tank and long-travel suspension for longer rides, with Dual Counter-Balancers to reduce vibration and dry-sump lubrication to support demanding off-road use.
The 650RR features an all-new 645cc inline-four engine with electronic throttle control, delivering 80kW at 13,000rpm and 60N•m at 11,000rpm for responsive power delivery. Its high-strength twin-spar frame and aluminium subframe are complemented by a six-axis IMU, bi-directional quickshifter and cornering ABS, combining strong performance, chassis stability and advanced electronic control.
The electronic BONIC combines bird-bone-inspired biomimetic structure with Dakar-informed chassis tuning, focusing on lightweight design and off-road control. E-500RR pairs KOVE's self-developed liquid-cooled axial-flux motor with a race-tuned chassis, targeting power above 50kW and weight below 150kg.
KOVE Electronic Clutch, developed in-house, uses sensor inputs to control clutch engagement and disengagement. It offers Manual, Automatic and Automated Manual modes. The roadmap targets the three combustion models for 2027 H2 and KEC for 2028 H1.
KOVE made its Dakar debut in 2023 with all three motorcycles finishing. In 2025, KOVE factory rider Beñat Fernández won the WorldSSP300 title. In 2026, the 450RR, WorldSPB's smallest-displacement motorcycle, scored 20 points and set a race lap record at Assen, while Neels Theric claimed 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 rally.
KOVE continually applies data from Dakar and top-level racing to product development, translating its pursuit of peak racing performance into advances in its production motorcycles. With racing as its proving ground, KOVE delivers dependability on every ride.

KOVE UNVEILS FIVE NEW MODELS AND 2027 RACING LINEUPS AT EICMA
NINGBO, China, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The "2026 Global Mayors Dialogue • Ningbo" is being held in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, from Nov. 2 to 5. Mayors and mayoral representatives from 20 cities in 15 countries and regions across five continents, along with representatives of international organizations and enterprises, have gathered in the city to explore opportunities for openness and deepen practical cooperation.
Participants included Wayne Brown, mayor of Auckland, New Zealand; Enrico Ricci, a representative of the mayor of Florence, Italy; Ahmed Wazeery, secretary-general of Suez Governorate, Egypt; and the mayors of three cities in Lebanon. Representatives of international organizations, including the United Nations Global Compact China and the BRICS New Development Bank, also attended.
Under the theme "Openness and Connectivity for Shared Opportunities," the event features a main mayoral dialogue, two scenario dialogues, and three activities focused on civilizational exchange and mutual learning. During the event, guests visited Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, the world's largest port by throughput, as well as Ningbo Yaji Logistics Co., Ltd., Ningbo PIA Automation Holding Corp., Peacebird Group, Dongqian Lake and the Old Bund. At the forefront of intelligent port logistics and in smart workshops where embodied robots are produced, they explored how cities can achieve high-level openness and identify future opportunities.
At the main venue, 14 cooperation projects were signed in areas including friendly exchanges, economic and trade cooperation, science and technology education, and cultural tourism. They included the establishment of friendly exchange relations between Yuyao City in Zhejiang and Errachidia, Morocco, and between Yinzhou District of Ningbo and the Canton of Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, France. The "Ningbo Consensus on Collaborative Development" was also released, calling on cities to uphold openness and connectivity, deepen industrial collaboration, promote people-to-people ties, and work together to maintain the stability and smooth flow of industrial and supply chains.
Joachim Moyse, vice president of the Rouen Metropolitan Area and mayor of the Canton of Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, France, said: "When the world makes it easy for people to lose hope, we must sit down together all the more and jointly build a framework for peace. Because peace is the great prerequisite for all cooperation." He also wanted to take a "gift" home from Ningbo: the city's broad vision of caring for all social strata and building the city around people's needs. Moyse said this is precisely the "Chinese experience" he wants to bring back to France and share with his compatriots.
Located in eastern Zhejiang, Ningbo is home to Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, the world's largest port. It is also an international gateway for openness and an advanced manufacturing base, long known by the saying, "Books preserve the past and present, and the port connects the world." The event features a seven-section exhibition, "Ningbo and the World: Global Chinese Culture with Overseas Ningbo Companies," showcasing Ningbo's achievements in promoting two-way economic and trade connectivity and people-to-people ties, with culture as the bond, enterprises as the mainstay and the port as the foundation. At the Night of Ningbo event, Ningbo's Siming Library and classic books selected by visitors are placed together in the Tianyi Pavilion, one of the world's three oldest family libraries, bearing witness to friendships between cities that span mountains and seas.
