2027 Kove 350 Rally: Lower Seat, Lighter Rally ADV From CIMAMotor

At CIMAMotor 2026 in China, Kove showed a 349.9cc rally-inspired adventure bike aimed below the 450 Rally — claimed ~342 lb ready-to-ride, 21-liter tank, 35-inch seat — with production planned for 2027 and North America still unconfirmed.

Kove just put a smaller rally ADV on the show stand. At CIMAMotor 2026, the brand unveiled the **2027 Kove 350 Rally** — a 349.9cc liquid-cooled single built to sit under the familiar 450 Rally and chase riders who want Dakar-shaped bodywork without the taller, heavier platform.

Per ADV Pulse’s September 28 report (photos credited to Kove Canada) and matching China-market numbers published by Enduro Magazine citing KOVE Moto Japan, production is aimed at **2027**. Pricing and a North America ship date are **not** confirmed yet — more global detail is expected around EICMA.

The numbers that matter on a dirt road

Claimed China-version highlights from those same reports: a **349.9cc** SOHC liquid-cooled single (82 × 66.05 mm, 11.5:1), about **40.2 hp / 30 kW** at 9,000 rpm and **33.7 Nm** at 7,000 rpm — A2-friendly math in markets that care. Ready-to-ride weight is listed around **155 kg / 342 lb**, with a **21 L / 5.5 gal** tank and a claimed range north of **600 km / 373 miles**. Treat range as a manufacturer claim until someone logs a real tank.

Chassis cues stay rally-serious: **43 mm** adjustable inverted fork, adjustable rear shock, **21/18** spoked tube-type wheels (90/90-21 front, 120/80-18 rear), about **260 mm / 10.2 in** of ground clearance, and a **890 mm / 35.0 in** seat — noticeably lower than the 450 Rally’s desert-sled stance. Wheelbase is listed at **1,450 mm / 57.1 in**. Electronics: Economy / Sport / Off-Road modes plus **switchable ABS**.

Who this is for — and who should wait

If you liked the idea of the 450 Rally but bounced off seat height or wet weight, this is the bike Kove is pitching: same tall screen and nav-tower vibe, skid plate and hand guards on the show bike, and a seat you can flat-foot without standing on tip-toes at every gas stop. Club-enduro rock riders should stay on a real woods bike — this is still a plated-style ADV single with rally travel kit, not a hard-enduro weapon.

North American dual-sport shoppers need patience. Neither ADV Pulse nor the Japan/China write-ups list a U.S. MSRP, DOT/EPA timing, or dealer allocation. Until Kove (or an importer) posts a market kit, treat every horsepower, kilogram, and range figure as **China-version show data** that can change for export.

Rider takeaway

The 350 Rally is the lower, lighter sibling of Kove’s rally ADV story — ~342 lb claimed, 21 liters of fuel, 35-inch seat, production targeted for 2027. Bookmark EICMA for global rollout news; don’t invent a U.S. price or street-legal date yet.
