Bristol Motorcycles adds the KOVE Series in its lineup
In its six years, Bristol Motorcycles has consistently raised the bar for performance, reliability, and style. I can attest to this personally, as one of the first to put the Bristol Venturi 500 to the test on some of the toughest trails I know. This adventure bike not only became the first big bike to conquer the treacherous General Nakar-Dingalan trail, but it did so in a single day and returned the very next, proving its incredible durability and capability.
This year Bristol Motorcycles once again takes another step forward by introducing its new lineup—engineered to deliver powerful performance, intelligent features, and timeless design.
AX180
KOVE Series
Since its founding in 2017, KOVE MOTO has become a dynamic presence in the global motorcycle industry. The company attributes its rapid growth to a unified operation that seamlessly integrates cutting-edge research, design, manufacturing, and sales.
Committed to performance and quality, KOVE delivers large-displacement sports motorcycles built to precision standards, aiming to inspire riders across the globe with its meticulously crafted machines.
525X
5 new models under KOVE Series
With the new KOVE Series, Bristol Motorcycles has expanded its lineup with five new models, catering to a diverse range of riders. The collection includes everything from practical scooters for daily use, to performance-driven bikes and rugged long-distance adventure machines.
These new models are the AX180, ADX180, 450RR PRO, 525X, and the mighty 800X.
The AX180 is a sporty scooter that clearly has its eyes on Yamaha’s Aerox 155. Crafted for riders who crave performance, the AX180 is powered by a 175cc SOHC four-valve liquid-cooled engine that delivers a claimed 17.5 PS of power and 15.2 Nm of torque.
SRP: PHP 149,900.
ADX180
The ADX180, on the other hand, is a scooter that is ready to take on Honda’s ADV160 “adventure scooter.” It sits on the same platform as the AX180, but with a much rugged design for the off-beaten tracks. It also boasts a much larger TFT screen, built-in dashcam, inverted forks, wire wheels, and many more.
Introductory SRP: PHP 178,800.
For riders seeking the adrenaline rush of a racetrack, the KOVE 450RR PRO delivers. This sportbike is powered by a high-revving 443cc, inline-four cylinder engine, claiming an impressive 70 PS of power at 13,000 rpm and 39 Nm of torque at 10,500 rpm. The 450RR PRO is engineered for speed and performance, with a claimed top speed of 220 kilometers per hour, making it a true contender for knee-dragging on the track.
Introductory SRP: PHP 388,000.
The 525X is the Venturi 500’s new and improved version, now with a bigger displacement, better suspension, new TFT screen and many more.
Introductory SRP: PHP 378,800.
800X
Finally, the flagship model of the KOVE Series, the 800X adventure bike. It’s powered by a 799cc, parallel-twin, DOHC liquid-cooled engine capable of delivering up to 95 PS of power at 9,000 rpm and 80 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm.
Those who have tried it firsthand before the launch claim that the 800X’s character is “very similar” to KTM’s 790 Adventure R, with the Austrian also delivering 95 Ps of power but with more torque at 88 Nm.
Introductory SRP: PHP 578,800.
