2026 Kove 350 R

Lightweight A2 naked bike with a rev-happy parallel twin and surprisingly sporty ambitions

Price: €5,490

The Kove 350 R proves in 2026 that riding enjoyment does not necessarily require a large-displacement engine. Weighing just 153 kilograms, this Chinese naked bike offers ideal conditions for agile handling. Its 344 cc parallel twin almost fully exploits the A2 license limit with 48 hp and impresses with its willingness to rev. While many competitors rely on single-cylinder engines, the Kove stands out with its two cylinder engine’s refined operation, instant throttle response, and a sporty character that feels more like a larger naked bike.

On winding roads, the 350 R feels light, agile, and precise. The compact ergonomics, low weight, and direct steering make it particularly attractive to beginners and sport-oriented A2 riders. Standard equipment includes traction control, switchable dual-channel ABS, a TFT display, and full LED lighting—features that are far from commonplace in this class.

Its principal competitors include the Honda CB500 Hornet, Kawasaki Z500, CFMOTO 450 NK, and Yamaha MT-03. The Kove stands out primarily through its rev-happy parallel twin and exceptionally low weight.
