Engineered by Kove for the cross - motocross motorcycle segment, the 2024 Kove MX 250 pairs a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 37.5 HP (27.4 kW) at 11,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 25 Nm (18.4 lb-ft) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 150.6 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (9,000 rpm) and peak power (11,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the MX 250 measures 107.8 kg (238 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.35 HP/kg (2.87 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 958 mm (37.7 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,491 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 5.49-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
