Voge 900 DSX ride review | Cheap, Chinese and ... good?

Can an otherwise unknown Chinese manufacturer hope to compete with the likes of Honda, Suzuki, Triumph, Yamaha, KTM and BMW in the heart of the super competitive middleweight adventure bike sector? The Voge 900 DSX seems to think so, hitting the market at an incredibly competitive £9,199 all in with all the kit you could need. Enough to convince you to take one over the big name rivals? Let's find out!

I think these make sense if you want all the kit on it…certainly paying double for a similar BMW is crazy

I sell these and have now 300 miles on my demo and i like it a lot .Not the best bike ibhave ever ridden but certainly competitive not only on price but build quality, handling and performance.

It always makes me chuckle when £9000 is classed as cheap. I realise it’s all context related but cheap to me is my 10 year old tiger 800 that probably does 90% of what this bike does for 35% of the cost.
I’d still like one though!

Yes think will to have a test ride. Have been looking at Transalp and KTM 790 Adventure. But it's what u get with this bike. For me name is a name but be interesting to look and have a go. 😊

voge dsx525 and the 900 dsx are one the best seller in the e u with a waiting list to get one, as for switch gear, i find as good if not better then some top brands of bike,

For that type of bike I think it's a really nice bike to look at, particularly in that colour. Taking the spec and component quality, I would certainly get a test ride if I was in the market for that cc range. Another 10-15 hp would really put it up against the big names. But hp isn't everything to everyone of course. I think it'll do well.

Morning before I’d take a punt it would need to be couple years just to be proven before I’d look at one see what problems if any they might have but just looking at the bike first impressions I think it looks really nice five stars 🌟 for style anyway take care mate good video by the way take care

Bearing in mind that all the major components are NOT Chinese then it may very well be an ok bike. I agree with you, brand loyalty will form part of most buyers buying decision and budget conscious new comers may very well opt for such a bike like this. Thanks for video, it was interesting to see this bike 👍

Being in the USA, the only reason I wouldn't get a Chinese machine is the fear of getting parts in the future. The assholic government is so jealous of a successful China that they are making it very hard to do business with them. Tariffs and the like are going to get worse and I even wonder if we will get to see this bike here.

On your test ride you didn't use Sport mode to really feel the engine's power. I guarantee it's very different from Road mode...

[packfan]

Not available on this side of the world. It sounds like demand is high from stories of waiting periods of four or so months. I can see why that is.

I bet less goes wrong with this, than BMW, s, notorious for recalls and releasing Tec that they have not developed properly. One case in point GS 1300 panniers that fall off and have no fix for, and are refunding cost of panniers, and won't have a solution till june 2025.

[terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff]

Some weight comparisons would be interesting, is it a little on the heavy side for this class?

[guystevens]

Yes look a good bike and some decent spec. Also like to know service intervals and what's lights like at night and is the switch gear back lit. 😊

[johnpipping]

Can you get spares easily? No good if it’s laid up in a garage for the sake of a twopenny part.

[chrispack]

What would matter to me is what is the after sales service like & are spares easy to acquire?

[Potatoman]

I’ve seen one video mentioning snatchy throttle, has anyone else encountered that issue?

[kugangles]

Why do all these China bikes look like they come from the same manufacturer. No soul or unique designs behind these bikes.
