KOVE Wins the 2025 WSBK SSP300 World Championship
On October 19, 2025, KOVE made history by winning the World Championship in the WSBK-SSP300 category at Jerez, Spain. This groundbreaking achievement marks the first time a Chinese motorcycle brand has ever claimed a world title in the top production bike racing series.
It’s not only a proud moment for KOVE Motorcycles, but also a major milestone for Chinese motorcycle engineering and its growing reputation in international motorsport.
From First Race Win to World Champion
KOVE’s journey to the top has been nothing short of extraordinary. In 2024, the brand made headlines by becoming the first Chinese manufacturer to win a WSBK SSP300 race, also at Jerez, in Race 2. That victory set the stage for what would become a historic 2025 season.
In 2025, KOVE entered the SSP300 championship with only one bike on the grid, facing fierce competition from 15 Kawasaki, 12 Yamaha, and 3 KTM machines. Against all odds, KOVE’s rider and team demonstrated unmatched consistency, speed, and determination, ultimately clinching the World Championship title.
A New Era for Chinese Motorcycle Racing
This triumph isn’t just a win for KOVE, it’s a statement to the global racing community.
KOVE’s victory showcases how Chinese motorcycle technology and performance have rapidly evolved to compete at the highest levels of international racing.
With this championship, KOVE has proven that innovation, perseverance, and engineering excellence can make history, no matter where a brand begins.
Three Years of Hard Work, Racing Towards the Dream
KOVE’s journey in WSBK began in 2023. Despite a rocky start, finishing last at the opening round in the Netherlands, KOVE did not give up. Instead, the team remained determined and kept improving, steadily making progress in the series. In July 2023, KOVE scored its first points at the Italian round and was on track for a strong second-place finish at the Czech round. However, a crash in the final laps cost them the podium. Despite the setback, KOVE remained focused on its ultimate goal of winning a championship.
From Rising Stars to Historic Victory
In 2024, KOVE’s performance continued to improve. At the Catalunya round, KOVE claimed second place, marking the first podium finish for a Chinese brand in the top-tier racing series. At the Aragón round, KOVE finished second, just 0.01 seconds off the winner. Then, in October 2024, KOVE made history by winning its first race at Jerez, realizing the dream that had been set from the very beginning.
2025: Overcoming Challenges and Reaching the Top
The 2025 season saw KOVE capitalize on the experience and data accumulated over the previous seasons. In the face of intense competition from Kawasaki, Yamaha, and KTM, KOVE’s performance became more polished and confident. Throughout the season, KOVE earned 5 best lap times, 2 third-place finishes, 2 second-place finishes, and 3 race victories, ultimately securing the World Championship title. This victory represents not just a personal achievement for KOVE, but a milestone for Chinese motorcycle brands breaking the European and Japanese dominance in global racing.
A Perfect Farewell and a New Beginning
With the conclusion of the final round on October 19, 2025, the WSBK-SSP300 category officially concluded its history. KOVE has written an extraordinary chapter in this competition, achieving the championship after three years of hard work and determination. Through this journey, KOVE not only earned the championship but also helped raise the global profile of Chinese motorcycles.
