All-new £6999 dual sport adventure bike, Voge DS800X Rally, is set for debut at the 2025 Adventure Bike Rider Festival, UK, on June 26-29.

Voge’s DS900X and DS625X adventure bike models are already proving popular but the current trend for a rally edition has demanded more. Enter stage left the Voge DS800X Rally which they say brings adventure touring skills with more off-road capabilities and all for a low retail price (£6999 in the UK plus OTR – apologies, prices not known in other countries at time of writing).

The new DS800X Rally is powered by Voge’s new KEL800, 798cc parallel-twin engine which claims 93.8hp and 81Nm of torque which is benchmark for a capable and manageable bike on and off road.

213kg claimed wet weight, hydraulic slipper clutch, 24-litre tank, adjustable KYB suspension with 200mm of front and 190mm rear suspension travel, 220mm ground clearence, spoked wheels fitted with tubeless Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres, Nissin front brake calipers are part of a long spec list...

In terms of electronics, the Voge DS800X Rally offers a choice of ride modes and dis-engageable traction control and ABS. A rally inspired vertically ‘cockpit’ has a fixed full colour TFT screen for all the bike’s information, easy to read in all conditions they say, plus there’s a 1080p forward-facing camera automatically captures footage with audio when a micro SD card is fitted under the seat.

Add in creature comforts like heated grips and seat fitted as standard, backlit switchgear, USB A and C sockets, LED lights including spotlights, engine bars, exhaust guard, hand guards, and a bash plate fitted as standard while the mirrors fold vertically if required.

It’s a lot for not a lot of money and, for our money, the 800X Rally model should be the most capable yet for off-road. Enduro21 had a spin on the 900 and though that was a little lardy for our liking, it showcased a very well-specced and capable machine. Needless to say we look forward to testing this one and trying it on a trail.

Arriving at Voge dealers during August, the price of the DS800X Rally will be just £6,999 + £200 OTR. The Voge DS800X comes with two years, unlimited mileage warranty and is available in a choice of three colours, Black Knight, Blue/White and Yellow/Black.
