The Voge 800 DS Rally is a prime example of a touring enduro. Its styling is typical of the genre; it features a fairly high seat height of 33 inches, but the bike's narrow design makes it easy to handle and offers good freedom of movement. Additionally, it comes with an adjustable handlebar, and the tall windshield is designed to provide adequate wind protection even when riding while standing.
The 800 DS is powered by a twin-cylinder inline engine with a displacement of 48.7 cubic inches. It delivers a maximum power of 94 horsepower at 9,000 RPM and produces 60 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 RPM. These specifications should enable the bike to reach a top speed of 118 mph. As expected in this segment, the motorcycle boasts adjustable suspension both at the front and rear. Weighing in at 470 lbs, it also has a fuel tank capacity of 6.3 gallons.
The braking system is from Nissin, featuring dual discs with four-piston calipers at the front and a single disc with a two-piston caliper at the rear. The spoked wheels are 21 inches at the front and 18 inches at the rear, equipped with off-road Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires.
The Voge 800 DS Rally offers selectable ride modes, traction control, and the option to disable ABS for off-road riding. Standard equipment includes heated grips and a heated seat. Furthermore, as is common in enduro models, the screen display is portrait-oriented and the system can connect to a smartphone.
