Kove 625X 

Powering the adventure tourer is a 581 cubic-centimeter, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine paired with a six-speed transmission that, on paper, can deliver:

Maximum output (in horsepower)	63.03
Peak torque (in Newton-meters)	57

This configuration provides higher power output and optimized low-to-mid-range torque. The gearbox also ensures effortless and safe shifting as it comes with assist and slipper clutch.

The Kove 625X also features a lightweight, high-strength steel frame, fully adjustable, long-travel KYB suspension system and cross-spoke tubeless wheels (21-inch front, 18-inch rear) with dual-purpose tires.

Further, the newly-revealed adventure tourer includes fully integrated crash guards, heated seats and grips, auxiliary lights, an adjustable windscreen, as well as a 21-liter fuel tank.

It also boasts a suite of comprehensive technologies that come in the form of:

• Seven-inch full-color thin-film-transistor (TFT) display with turn-by-turn navigation mirroring
• Switchable dual-channel anti-lock braking system
• Multi-level traction control system
• Automotive-Grade safety millimeter-wave radar (Lane Change Assist, Rear Collision warning, Blind Spot Detection)

The Kove 625X has the following measurements:

Overall dimensions (length, width, height; in millimeters [mm>)	2,290 x 935 x 1,395
Wheelbase (in mm)	1,495
Seat height (in mm)	820
Ground clearance (in mm)	205
Weight (in kilograms [kg>)	221

Available in three colorways namely White, Blue, and Black, the Kove 625X comes with a suggested retail price (SRP) of P448,800, but is currently being offered for P418,800 as special introductory price.

Kove 625V 

On the other hand, the Kove 625V is propelled by an updated 578-cc, double overhead cam, eight-valve, liquid-cooled 75-degree V-twin engine that has the capability to dish out:

Maximum output (in horsepower)	60.35
Peak torque (in Newton-meters)	60

Unlike most cruisers, the motorcycle has a dual-tank setup—with the main teardrop tank able to carry 15 liters and its sub-tank having an additional five-liter capacity. Fully utilizing these two, the motorcycle offers a theoretical range of up to 500 kilometers.

Matched to a cruiser body (low-slung stance and low center of gravity), the motorcycle is accessible to riders of varying skill levels and heights. Among its notable amenities are:

• Forward-set foot controls
• Wide sweep-back handlebars
• Found retro-modern TFT instrument panel with Bluetooth connectivity

Moreover, the Kove 625V is outfitted with inverted front forks, twin rear shock absorbers, dual front disc brakes with radial-mount calipers, dual-channel ABS, TCS, and a belt final drive for low-maintenance operation.

On paper, this motorcycle tapes in at:

Overall dimensions (length, width, height; in mm)	2,220 x 800 x 1,115
Wheelbase (in mm)	1,490
