The Kove 450 Rally
A Proven Champion on the Toughest Terrains
As a seasoned rider and adventurer, I, Will Swanson, have put the Kove 450 Rally to the ultimate test. It all started with the SheetIron 300, a 300-mile dual sport event in California that demands not only skill but a motorcycle that can handle everything from rugged trails to high-speed stretches. The Kove 450 Rally didn’t just meet expectations—it exceeded them.
Following the SheetIron 300, I headed down to Ensenada, Mexico, for one of the most grueling off-road races in the world: the Baja 500. I had the incredible opportunity to assist the team riders, a special thanks to Scott Purcell Pro Rider and Daniel Velasquez from Carrera 777 who welcomed me and shared there enthusiasm,including and Congratulations to the Rubio Brothers, who rode the Kove 450 Rally Pro to victory in the Pro Moto Adventure Class for the 2024 Baja 500. Their win was a testament to the bike’s capability, resilience, and performance under the toughest conditions.
After the Baja 500, I took on a challenge of my own—riding my Kove 450 Rally Pro all the way back home to Costa Rica, covering an astonishing 7,000 kilometers. Through deserts, mountains, and everything in between, the bike never left me stranded. It’s been an absolute thrill to ride, offering unmatched reliability and endless opportunities for modification.
