Loncin Voge 525ds
The Loncin Voge 525ds has a top speed of ~160 km/h (estimated), produces ~47 hp and weighs ~215 kg. Motoryk rates it 7/10.
The Voge 525DS was introduced by Loncin's Voge brand around 2022-2023 as a mid-displacement adventure-touring motorcycle aimed at competing in the growing Chinese and export ADV segment. It is powered by a parallel-twin engine and represents Voge's push into more serious adventure riding territory, offering features typically found on premium European ADV bikes at a significantly lower price point. The 525DS helped establish Voge as a credible contender in the mid-size adventure class, gaining attention in markets across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

What Buyers Should Know
CFMoto-Derived Engine
The 525DS uses a parallel-twin engine closely related to CFMoto's 525cc platform, which has a reasonably proven track record in the Chinese mid-displacement market. Early examples showed some valve clearance drift, so checking service history is essential.
Rapid Depreciation Risk
As a Chinese-brand adventure bike, the Voge 525DS depreciates quickly — often 30-40% in the first two years — which makes buying used a strong value proposition but selling one harder. Brand perception still lags behind Japanese and European rivals in resale.
Electronics & Parts Sourcing
The 525DS comes surprisingly well-equipped with ABS and ride modes for its price point, but sourcing replacement parts outside of China or major markets can be slow and costly. Confirm your local dealer has reliable parts access before purchasing.
Used Buyer Review
"Genuinely capable budget adventurer if you accept the compromises upfront."
$4,500-$6,500 usedThe Voge 525DS is genuinely one of the more surprising budget adventure bikes to come out of China recently. Loncin's partnership with BMW means the 471cc parallel twin is a proven unit, and it pulls cleanly from low revs with enough mid-range grunt to make motorway miles comfortable. The switchable ABS, traction control, and multiple riding modes on a bike at this price point still feels slightly unreal. Build quality is acceptable rather than impressive — plastics feel a touch hollow and the switchgear lacks the satisfying click of Japanese rivals. Buying used, you're looking at bikes with minimal service history documentation, so demand receipts or budget for a full service immediately. Check the frame around the engine mounts for any stress cracks from previous off-road abuse, and wiggle the screen mount — they loosen quickly. Electronics gremlins appear on some units around 8,000-12,000 miles, typically TFT connectivity dropping out. Not catastrophic, but annoying. Parts availability is improving but still patchwork outside major cities, which genuinely matters when something snaps on a touring trip.
