Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2016 Kove MX 250, a striking entry in the cross-motocross segment that caters to both amateur riders and seasoned professionals seeking a blend of performance and agility. This Italian marvel stands out for its lightweight construction and race-ready features, making it an appealing choice for those who crave excitement on rugged terrains. With its eye-catching blue and white color scheme, the MX 250 not only grabs attention but also embodies Kove's commitment to innovative motorcycle design. At the heart of the Kove MX 250 lies a powerful single-cylinder, two-stroke engine with a displacement of 249 cc, perfectly engineered to deliver a thrilling riding experience. The engine’s bore and stroke dimensions of 66.4 mm by 72.0 mm ensure a responsive throttle and exhilarating acceleration. Thanks to the Keihin PWK 38 carburettor and Kokusan CDI electronic ignition system, riders can enjoy smooth power delivery, along with the added advantage of two selectable maps for varied riding conditions. The liquid cooling system keeps the engine temperature in check, while the 5-speed gearbox and hydraulic-controlled multi-disk clutch provide seamless shifting, allowing riders to dominate any track with confidence. The Kove MX 250 is not just about raw power; it’s also equipped with advanced technology and features that enhance performance and rider comfort. Its aluminum perimetral frame offers excellent rigidity while keeping the overall weight down, allowing for superb handling and maneuverability. The front suspension, available in both Marzocchi USD 50 mm and optional Kayaba USD 48 mm, absorbs bumps efficiently, ensuring a smooth ride across challenging terrains. Meanwhile, the wave disc brakes, featuring a Nissin pump and Brembo caliper, provide exceptional stopping power, enhancing safety without compromising the bike's lightweight ethos. With an 8.20-liter fuel capacity, riders can push their limits on the track without frequent pit stops. **
