Voge DS900X

Luggage can be added for just £299 (RRP £1,399) at point of purchase. Navigation now uses Carbit ride screen mirroring for an improved experience. The ABS system has been upgraded to 6-axis Bosch cornering ABS. The DS900X is the new flagship model from VOGE, a high-end Grand Tourer with enduro styling and off-road DNA. The fully loaded DS900X offers performance, robustness and incredible value for money. The latest 895cc twin cylinder engine has double overhead camshafts and 8 valves. The maximum power output is 70KW (95HP) @ 8,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 95 Nm @ 6,000rpm. In addition to the traction control, the ‘ride by wire” throttle has four riding modes, Economy, Sport, Enduro and Rain. The DS900X engine is enhanced further by the slick shifting gearbox that includes up and down quick-shifter and slipper clutch, for both improved performance and comfort on longer journeys. Fatigue on longer trips can be reduced further by using the cruise control system which is operated very simply from the left-hand switchgear. The premium chassis of the VOGE DS900X is composed of a perimeter steel frame and an asymmetrical aluminium swingarm. The long-travel suspension, adjustable KYB upside-down fork at the front with adjustable KYB mono-shock at the rear, allow for comfort and performance whether on or off-road. The addition of a steering damper ensures stable, confident riding even at higher speeds. The 21” spoked front wheel and 17” spoked rear are dressed in tubeless Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tyres that are perfectly suited to an Enduro style motorcycle with a road touring setup. These tyres are sporty but durable enough for long road trips, and capable of small off-road excursions when required. Formidable stopping power is provided by twin Brembo callipers with 305mm discs up-front, and a single Brembo calliper with 265mm disc at the rear. The braking system is further enhanced by Bosch 6-axis cornering ABS that can be switched off for trail riding. The DS900X is laden with technology: Keyless Go enables you to start the bike with your key fob safely tucked away in your pocket, benefitting both security and convenience. Blind spot assistance RADAR illuminates warning LED's in your mirrors when it detects vehicles nearby. This is especially useful in busy urban areas or when changing lanes. The large 7" full colour TFT display with mobile connectivity is clear and provides all the usual information as well as several advanced features like tyre pressure monitoring. You can effortlessly scroll through menus to adjust different features on the bike. A front facing dash cam is fitted as standard just above the headlight. Dash cam footage can be viewed to watch back your ride, and is increasingly valuable in the case of any non-fault insurance claims too. The camera works through the VOGE APP and can also take still photographs while on the move by pressing the button on the right-hand switchgear. There are two power outlets for charging devices, one is USB style for phones and smaller items, and the other is 12V style for larger accessories like tyre inflators and suchlike. The high specification DS900X package is completed with Full LED lighting front and rear, with additional hi-power integrated spotlights that are fitted as standard for improved visibility. Heated seat and heated grips are fitted as standard to maximise comfort, especially in the British weather! The heater controls are seamlessly integrated into the right-hand switchgear. The VOGE DS900X also benefits from engine bars for protection, a main stand for ease of maintenance, hand guards for safety and an adjustable windshield all fitted as standard. There is no need for expensive accessories as the bike comes fully loaded with everything you need, adding significantly to the value for money of this impressive machine.
