Voge Unveils Brivido R800 at EICMA: 95 HP Twin and Quickshifter for €6,990
95.2 hp & 81 Nm + 798cc parallel-twin with standard up/down quickshifter and 4 engine maps + Voge takes dead aim at the European middleweight naked establishment with an A2-ready weapon.
Part of Throttle Times’ live coverage of EICMA 2026.
Loncin subsidiary Voge has officially entered the fiercely contested middleweight naked category at EICMA 2026 with the world premiere of the Voge Brivido R800. Arriving with a targeted European showroom price near €6,990, the roadster harnesses a 798cc parallel-twin engine engineered to hit Europe’s statutory 70 kW threshold—allowing full compliance for 35 kW A2 licence restriction—while delivering premium chassis hardware and an electronic quickshifter as standard equipment.
For riders watching the rapid ascent of Chinese motorcycle brands, the Brivido R800 marks Loncin’s transition from building mid-capacity commuters into genuine roadster contenders aimed straight at the Yamaha MT-09 and Honda CB750 Hornet.
798cc Parallel-Twin Produces 95 HP and Four Riding Modes
The Voge Brivido R800 is powered by a 798cc liquid-cooled DOHC eight-valve parallel-twin producing 95.2 hp (70 kW) at 9,000 rpm and 81 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. The powerplant utilizes a 270-degree crankshaft firing interval to mimic the linear power delivery and throaty exhaust cadence of a 90-degree V-twin, propelling the machine to a claimed top speed of 205 km/h.
Engine management is orchestrated through an electronic Ride-by-Wire throttle system offering four distinct engine maps (Sport, Street, Rain, and Eco), allowing riders to tailor power onset across variable road conditions. Shifting through the six-speed gearbox is handled via an assist-and-slipper clutch backed by a factory-fitted bidirectional quickshifter, providing clutchless upshifts under hard acceleration and rev-matched downshifts without upsetting chassis stability during aggressive braking into downhill hairpins.
“With the Brivido R800, we have packaged true litre-class visual aggression and 70 kW performance into an accessible platform that meets all European A2 regulatory requirements without stripping away premium electronics,” noted Voge during its EICMA presentation.
Gold USD Fork, Radial Calipers, and Cast Aluminum Chassis
The Voge Brivido R800 is built around a high-rigidity steel tubular frame mated to a cast-aluminum swingarm, supported by a fully adjustable gold-anodized inverted front fork and a link-type rear monoshock. The suspension architecture has been tuned specifically for European tarmac, offering 130mm of front travel and 125mm of rear travel to maintain composure over broken asphalt and aggressive mid-corner bumps.
Stopping force is provided by dual radial-mount four-piston calipers clamping 310mm floating discs up front, paired with a 240mm single-piston rear rotor and dual-channel ABS. The roadster rolls on 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels shod in 120/70-ZR17 front and 180/55-ZR17 rear radial performance tires, while rider instrumentation is managed through a multi-function full-color TFT display featuring Bluetooth smartphone connectivity and navigation mirroring.

The Rider’s Trade-Off: Value Packaging vs Wet Weight
While the Voge Brivido R800 undercuts its Japanese and Austrian middleweight rivals on standard equipment by including a bidirectional quickshifter and adjustable suspension, it pays for that aggressive pricing with an estimated wet weight of approximately 198 kg with a full 16-litre fuel tank. That mass sits roughly 8 to 12 kg heavier than the Honda Hornet and Yamaha MT-07, requiring a touch more physical input when muscling the bike through rapid left-right chicane transitions.
Furthermore, while the 81 Nm torque figure arrives at a pleasantly usable 6,500 rpm, the aggressive streetfighter bodywork leaves the rider completely exposed to turbulent highway wind blast above 130 km/h. Much like the minimalist ergonomics seen on the Fantic Stealth 500, the Brivido R800 prioritizes visceral back-road hooliganism over long-distance touring comfort.
European Availability and Showroom Delivery
The Voge Brivido R800 is scheduled to arrive at European dealerships across Spain, Italy, France, and Germany in March 2027. With European pricing projected at €6,990, the bike enters a crowded market with a clear competitive value proposition: offering near-100-horsepower twin-cylinder thrills and standard track-level electronics at entry-level middleweight money.
