Introducing the MX250R GEN2
The Kove MX250 Gen 2 is a standout in the small-bore, four-stroke moto-leisure segment, delivering an impressive balance of affordability, performance, and build quality. With a dry weight of just 237 lbs, it offers excellent agility and handling, rivaling more established brands. Its high-quality plastic bodywork is well-fitted, and the flat, narrow rider cockpit allows unrestricted movement with no protruding elements. The fully adjustable suspension is well-balanced, enhancing both comfort and control on the track. At its core is a refined 249cc DOHC EFI engine—developed in collaboration with Zongshen but significantly reengineered by Kove—with custom components including a billet connecting rod, lighter flywheel, redesigned crankshaft, high-compression piston and cylinder head, and upgraded clutch. The result is a responsive, easy-starting engine that performs reliably under various conditions, setting the MX250 Gen 2 apart from other NC250/300-based platforms.
