CFMoto 300SR vs Kove 321RR: Detailed Comparison
The CFMoto 300SR has already established itself as the “Fastest bike in Bangladesh”. On the other hand, the Kove 321RR is an upcoming contender that has generated significant buzz with its impressive specs and track-inspired design. Let’s take a look at both of these companies and what makes them unique from one another.
CFMoto
CFMoto began its journey in Bangladesh in late December 2024. This Chinese manufacturer is known as “A Rising Star in the Motorcycle Industry.” In addition to motorbikes, CFMoto actively produces engines, all-terrain vehicles, quadricycles, quads, and yachts. They are the first Chinese brand to compete and secure 5th position at Quad class in Dakar. They are also the first Chinese motorcycle brand to win the championship at a MotoGP and Moto2 event.
Kove Moto
Much like CFMoto, Kove is also an uprising star. Despite being founded in 2017, they currently operate in over 35+ countries worldwide and have distributors in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. They have an active presence in “Dakar” as well. Kove Moto is well known for producing inexpensive but High-Performance motorbikes and are soon expected to be launched in Bangladesh as well.

Final Verdict:
When comparing the CFMoto 300SR and the Kove 321RR, the Kove 321RR clearly has the edge in several key areas, making it a strong contender in the sportbike segment. Its 322cc dual-cylinder engine delivers 40.89 Bhp at 11,000 rpm, significantly outpowering the CFMoto 300SR’s 298cc single-cylinder engine, which produces 29.5 Bhp at 9,500 rpm. This power advantage translates to a higher top speed of ~190 km/h, compared to the CFMoto’s ~165 km/h.
The Kove 321RR also excels in braking performance with a 320 mm floating disc and Brembo 4-piston caliper at the front, providing superior stopping power over the CFMoto’s 292mm disc and 4-piston caliper. The Kove’s adjustable suspension system, both front and rear, offers a more tailored riding experience, further enhancing its appeal for enthusiasts seeking customization.
Despite these advantages, the CFMoto 300SR stands out with its lower seat height of 780 mm, making it more accessible for shorter riders. It also boasts a slightly lighter curb weight of 155 kg, which can improve handling and maneuverability, especially for less experienced riders.
Price-wise, it is difficult to give a call since Kove Moto is yet to make an entrance into the Bangladeshi market. But without any doubt at the price point of 458,500 BDT, CFMoto 300SR offers great value for money to the riders.
In summary, the Kove 321RR edges out the CFMoto 300SR in performance, braking, and customization, making it a better choice for riders seeking a high-performance sportbike. However, the CFMoto 300SR remains a solid option for those who prioritize comfort, weight, and accessibility.
