DS525X

$12,990 Ride away Recommended ride away price incl. 12 months NSW rego and CTP, stamp duty, dealer delivery and GST.

A weekday run on the highway, a fire trail on Saturday, a week away with the bags packed next month. The DS525X handles all of it without favouring one over another: settled and comfortable on the bitumen, sure-footed once the seal runs out, and just as happy clocking up touring kilometres as it is exploring where the road turns to dirt. It's LAMS-approved, so more riders can get on one, ultimately riders choose it for the balance, not the licence.

A Real Adventure Bike, LAMS-Approved

The DS525X is the way into our Adventure range, and we've built it so it doesn't feel like an entry-level bike. A 494cc parallel-twin, KYB suspension front and rear, and ABS and traction control as standard sit alongside genuine off-road hardware: 200mm of ground clearance and a high-mounted exhaust for wading. LAMS approval is a bonus, not the whole story.

DS800X Rally

The middleweight adventure class is where serious off-road ability meets real-world distance, and the DS800X Rally is built for exactly that ground. There's enough engine to cover long highway stretches with a load on board, and a rally-focused setup that keeps pushing when the track turns rough, rutted and remote. It's for riders who want a bike that goes properly off road, without giving up the ability to get there in the first place.

DS900X

Some roads end where the map does. The DS900X doesn't. It's the bike VOGE built for riders who measure a good trip in days, not kilometres, and who want to arrive comfortable enough to turn around and do it again. As the flagship of the Adventure range, it's the one built with nothing held back, for the ride that isn't really about the destination.
