KOVE "350RR/450RR" to be released in August.

KOVE JAPAN has announced the introduction of China-based KOVE's mid-size supersports 350RR and 450RR in Japan. 350RR is a lightweight, high-power model that won the WSBK championship, while 450RR is a high-revving model with a straight-four engine. Pricing is set at 798,000 yen for the 350RR and 1,078,000 yen for the 450RR. Both models are scheduled to go on sale in August 2026.

The 350RR, a lightweight, high-power machine that reached the pinnacle of the world championship

The 350RR is a genuine racer replica model that won the Supersport 300 World Championship (WSBK-SSP300) championship in the 2025 season. The 344cc liquid-cooled two-cylinder engine mounted on the 350RR has been improved and evolved since KOVE began competing in the WSBK in 2023, meeting the strict EURO 5+ environmental performance requirements while increasing the engine's compression ratio to 12.5 to 1 for sharp and quick response in the mid-to-high RPM range. The engine delivers a maximum output of 47.5 PS at 11,500 rpm, the highest in the 300 class, allowing the driver to experience the high-specification power that has been developed on the race circuit on the street. The chassis that houses this powerful power unit features a diamond dual-wing-shaped frame and a steel-pressed swingarm. The combination of aluminum handlebars and other components also contributes to the overall rigidity of the chassis and excellent handling characteristics, while the lightweight weight of only 164 kg is also noteworthy. The suspension also benefits from a wealth of feedback from the racing field. The front is equipped with 37 mm diameter inverted forks with a 126 mm wheel stroke, while the rear has a 45 mm stroke suspension. Traction control is also standard. The vehicle is available in only one color, white, and is priced at a very strategic 798,000 yen.

The SS, the most powerful SS in the middle class, which won the 2025 championship in the World Championship of Series Production Cars and WSBK, will finally arrive in Japan.

The 350RR (2026), available only in white, boasts a high output of 47.5 PS and a light weight of 164 kg.

It will go on sale in August 2026 and is priced at 798,000 yen, which is quite cost-effective.

The 450RR, with the lightest body in its class and a roar at 16,000 rpm

The 450RR, which will go on sale at the same time, is a lightweight, high-output 4-cylinder sports model. The power unit is a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, parallel 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engine with a maximum output of 49 kW (66.6 PS) at 13,500 rpm. The engine utilizes ram air intake to further increase power at high speeds, and has an astonishing potential of up to 75 PS. Despite this high performance, the engine itself weighs only 42 kg, contributing greatly to the overall weight reduction of the vehicle. The frame is made of a truss structure combining high-strength steel materials HC700 and Q355B, and the frame itself weighs approximately 7 kg (15.5 lbs.). The frame itself weighs a surprisingly light 7 kg (15.4 lbs.). With the swingarm made of aluminum, the package is the lightest in its class, with an installed weight of 165 kg. Suspension is fully adjustable, both front and rear, with KYB 41 mm diameter inverted forks in the front and an external reservoir tank shock unit in the rear. In addition to this, the bike has a quick shifter for both upshifting and downshifting, steering damper, and radial-mounted brakes. It is available in only one color, red, and will be priced at 1,078,000 yen.

The 450RR (2026) 443cc inline 4-cylinder engine is equipped. It delivers 75 PS with ram air pressurization.

Thanks to its lightweight engine and design, it weighs only 165 kg equipped, despite its middle class status.

The car is scheduled to go on sale in Japan in August 2026, along with the 350RR. The price is 1,078,000 yen.
