Taiwanese motorcycle manufacturer KYMCO (Kwang Yang Motor Company) has filed for a new trademark, "CV-X45," overseas. Industry speculation suggests this could be the production model of the CV-R5 concept ADV scooter, which impressed audiences at the Milan Motorcycle Shows.

The "CV-X45" name and styling cues hint at a continuation of the CV series, with the "X" likely signifying off-road capabilities and "45" possibly referring to a 427cc engine displacement. The CV-R5 concept itself featured a distinctive, minimalist design with a strong mechanical aesthetic, aiming to redefine the large ADV scooter segment.

Powered by a newly developed 427cc high-performance gasoline engine, the concept delivered impressive torque at low RPMs. Its ADV crossover design was complemented by advanced suspension systems, including a PTM independent rear swingarm and a six-link rear shock absorber, paired with a high-rigidity frame. This setup, along with its light off-road chassis, was designed to conquer diverse terrains, appealing to riders seeking adventure and freedom.
