Kymco took advantage of the EICMA to unveil its first adventure maxi scooter – the CV-R5. This new addition to the Chinese brand’s lineup will soon be available to customers.
The frame is designed with the engine as a central element. This engine is a 427cc single-cylinder, delivering a maximum power of 34.4 hp and 40 Nm of torque. The scooter features an automatic CVT transmission, with final chain typical of adventure bikes, and offers a multi-map ride-by-wire.
The suspension system includes an inverted fork at the front and a monoshock with a Pivoting Torque Management system at the rear. The wheels are 15 inches at the front and 14 inches at the rear, fitted with semi-knobby tyres.
The CV-R5 comes equipped with ABS, traction control, and tire pressure monitoring. The seat, set at a height of 800 millimeters, hides a storage compartment large enough to fit a full-face helmet.
The instrument panel is a color TFT display, and the lighting is fully LED. The rider benefits from a high, exposed handlebar and handguards. Complementing the scooter’s geometric design lines is a sporty exhaust system.
