The Kove 800X Rally is equally impressive in the chassis department. The most noteworthy trait is the weight, or lack there-of; the 800X Rally weighs only 364 pounds dry, making it the lightest ADV bike on the market. Compared to other popular options on the market right now, 70-100 pounds less makes a HUGE difference in the capability of the 800X – you can ride harder, longer, and have more fun when you’re riding this Kove!

The 800X Rally doesn’t just LOOK like a big dirtbike, it IS a big dirtbike! The wheels and suspension on the 800X Rally are ready for some serious off-road terrain.

The fork is the same 49mm Yu-Ann from the 450 Rally, but sprung and valved for the 800. It is held in place by a billet triple clamp that also houses a Steering Stabilizer. Rear suspension duties are handled by a linkage-equipped Yu-Ann piggyback shock with adjustable high-speed compression, low-speed compression, and rebound dampening.

The front brake on the 800X Rally model is a single 310mm disc that will slow this beast down in a hurry. The ABS system is quickly and easily switched between On, Front Wheel ABS Only, and completely Off, and if the bike is shut-off momentarily using the kill switch, the last-used ABS setting is still active when the bike is started again. The wheels are true off-road wheels with heavy duty spokes that are ready for UHD tubes or mousses.

Rounding out the package is a 5-gallon fuel tank, which can deliver up to 250 miles of range on a single fill-up. The integrated crash bars and skid plate keep things protected when the going gets rough. The windscreen provides adequate wind deflection, and shields the easy-to-read digital TFT display.
