Affordable pricing plus polished equipment — that combo is becoming more and more the norm.

Never heard of the Kove brand — what kind of company is it?

Not too familiar with the details, but I believe it's a Chinese manufacturer whose off-road models have been popping up more lately.

Pushing into every category all at once really speaks to how much development resource Chinese manufacturers have behind them.

Line up Benda, CFMoto, QJ Motor, Kove, and Moto Morini and you realize the sheer number of Chinese-backed brands is already pretty deep.
