The truth shall set you free...
Πολλές εταιρείες κρύβουν αλήθειες ειδικά για τους προμηθευτές τους. Να μένει η εντύπωση πως είναι τόσο ισχυρες και αυτόνομες. Σε κουβέντα που είχα με εισαγωγέα της Ευρώπης για τα Kove και τον κινητήρα που φοράει το 800Χ..
Στην αρχή έλεγε πως τι λέτε αλοιμονο τον κινητήρα τον φτιάχνει η Kove. Και αφού της λέω άσε μας κουκλίτσα μου αναγκάστηκε να πει μερικές αλήθειες.
-So 800X engine is produced by cfmoto based on ktm base (lc8c) ( but quite different internally in some materials?
- yes..you can also find kove logo on many internal parts. Different cooling system clutch system, different head, ecu system, cams and much more.
the engine itself was presented by kove at a motorcycle fair in 2021. Much improved and different. I believe they focused on eliminating all the weak spots of the base engine. Even the externals are not the same.
- ok. So cfmoto can sell to competitors,not the same engine I guess but a different or even better evolution of the lc8c engine that made under the cooperation an probably with the r&d contribution of kove. As i said this is not something bad. You cannot expect from a 5 year old manufacturer to make every last thing on a bike so soon. Moto morini cor example took the I2 cfmoto engine for xcape 650 and in the same time they moven on with their V2 enginw platform. It is better until the company is ready to built their own line of engines to at least cooperate with strong manufacturers yo ensure as well reliability.
