The 2024 voge dsx 900 review
Heard of Loncin? It is one of the biggest manufacturers of scooters and motorcycles in China. But there’s more. The company is also a vendor, manufacturer, and collaborator for BMW, producing motors for the German maker’s 850 and 900 models. Thus, it didn’t surprise many Loncin decided to make its own iteration of BMW‘s mid-sized ADV under its premium brand, Voge.
BMW F 900 Series’ Parallel-Twin
The Voge 900 DSX and the BMW F 900 GS series both have an 895cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, parallel-twin engine, even though Loncin doesn’t mention it anywhere directly. They are identical in terms of capacity, compression ratio, and bore and stroke. But although torque is similar to the BMW at 70 ft-lbs, the Voge produces 10 horsepower less.
The power is sent to the rear wheel via a six-speed gearbox that comes equipped with a built-in slipper clutch to cushion careless downshifts and a bidirectional fast shifter as standard. This powertrain is paired with an array of electronics that are all controlled by a throttle-by-wire system, providing the rider with multiple ride modes. As per Motorrad’s hands-on review, the parallel-twin on the Voge is unable to match the BMW F 900 GSA’s characteristics in terms of operating smoothness, vibrations, and mechanical noise.
It Gets High-End Equipment
Built around a bridge-style frame and trellis subframe, the Voge has a 17-liter tank that is partially covered by large protective frame guards on either side. The bike’s suspension consists of inverted KYB forks at the front and a rear monoshock with adjustable preload and rebound damping which provide 194 mm (7.63 in) and 198 mm (7.79 in) of travel respectively. As for braking, it is equipped with twin Brembo calipers up front that include a switchable dual-channel ABS for stopping power.
It gets 4 ride modes namely rain, eco, sport and all-terrain and it also has functions like cruise control, heated grips and seats, tire pressure and temperature display, and fog lights — which double as cornering lights and turn signals. All pertinent riding information is shown on a huge 7-inch full-color TFT display that is similar to the interfaces seen on BMW bikes. You also get a full LED lighting setup including fog lights, a USB connector, and a 12V power outlet.
In addition, the rear-view mirrors include a blind spot assistance feature that alerts the vehicle behind by flashing the brake and hazard lights if it comes too close to the motorcycle. But perhaps the most surprising feature is a 1080p front camera, which can be turned on using a switch located on the right handlebar.
It’s eerie just how identical the Voge 900 DSX and the BMW F 900 GS look when you put them side by side. But that’s not to say that the Chinese machine mimics the F 900 GS in every way. Although it does offer many premium features, it has less power, lower suspension travel and is heavier than the BMW F 900 GS. So, rather than being a like-for-like replacement for the BMW, the 900 DSX would strike as a more affordable, budget version of the GS. As far as quality, It remains to be seen if the Voge brand can provide reliably-built motorcycles to the US market.
