KYMCO CV-X45 Rocks EICMA 2026: A Capable 427cc Adventure Scooter with Chain Drive

Taiwanese motorcycle giant KYMCO has officially unveiled its latest adventure scooter, the KYMCO CV-X45, at the prestigious EICMA 2026 exhibition in Milan. While some critics have drawn design parallels to the Yamaha RW 700, KYMCO actually showcased the prototype for this model several years prior, solidifying its original design language.

The arrival of the CV-X45 on the global stage promises an aggressive, rugged, and highly technological option for maxi-scooter enthusiasts who enjoy exploring light off-road trails just as much as cruising on the highway.

High-Stability 427cc Single-Cylinder Engine

Mechanically, the KYMCO CV-X45 is powered by a 427cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. This configuration allows the scooter to generate a solid maximum output of 34.4 hp and 40 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm.

To ensure long-distance touring comfort, KYMCO has integrated a dual-balancer technology specifically designed to absorb engine vibrations, guaranteeing a smooth and refined power delivery to the rear wheel.

Rugged Chassis & Chain Final Drive

One mechanical feature that makes the CV-X45 stand out from conventional scooters is its final drive system. Although it utilizes an automatic CVT transmission, the power is delivered to the rear wheel via a chain drive rather than a traditional belt, a robust approach similar to the SYM ADXTG 400.

The chassis package is built for durability:

• Front suspension: Equipped with upside-down (USD) forks for exceptional front-end rigidity.
• Rear suspension: Features a multi-link rear monoshock system.

Both the front and rear suspension systems offer an impressive 150 mm of travel, making it ideal for absorbing deep potholes or navigating gravel paths.

Modern Electronics & ‘Off-Road’ Mode

Living up to its premium status, the CV-X45 features a ride-by-wire throttle system. This technology allows riders to select from three distinct riding modes: Rain, Power, and Off-Road. For off-road enthusiasts, the rear Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) can be completely deactivated when the Off-Road mode is engaged, allowing for better slide control on loose dirt.

Standard advanced equipment includes a digital TFT display, traction control, cruise control, heated grips, and a fast-charging USB Type-C port.

Practical Specifications for Commuting and Touring

KYMCO designed the bodywork to provide maximum utility for its owners:

• It has a total wet weight of 210 kg and a generous fuel tank capacity of 13.5 litres.
• The seat height is set at an accessible 800 mm, allowing the majority of riders to plant their feet firmly on the ground.
• The under-seat storage space is exceptionally wide, capable of accommodating a full-size helmet, including adventure-style helmets with protective visors.
