AJP PR7 vs Kove 450 Rally: Which is the best trail and adventure bike?

Design and philosophy

AJP PR7: the Portuguese soul of lightweight trail riding

The AJP PR7 is designed with a very clear idea: to be a lightweight, simple, and highly capable off-road trail bike. It features a proven engine (derived from Husqvarna's old Yamaha TE 630) and complements it with excellent ergonomics, a lightweight chassis, and long-travel suspension.

It's a bike that feels agile and jittery off-road, but is also civilized enough for long journeys. Its Android-powered TFT display is a plus for those using maps, roadbooks, or apps like Wikiloc or Gaia GPS.

Kove 450 Rally: Chinese competitive spirit that surprises

The Kove 450 Rally comes from China, but with a Dakar mentality . This brand has revolutionized the market by offering a true rally-raid motorcycle with a navigation tower, great range, and low weight.

Designed for competition, but accessible to serious users , the Kove impresses with its price and the quality of its workmanship. It improves in reliability and performance every year.

Behavior on trail and off-road courses

AJP PR7 at RM Motos Trail School

In our courses, the PR7 handles like a muscular enduro : light in turns, very stable on fast tracks, and with a seat height that offers more confidence than other bikes in its segment. Its low weight is ideal for intermediate and advanced courses, and its engine has enough torque without being aggressive.

On open tracks, it's unbeatable. In technical sections, it requires experience.
