The Voge 900DSX weighs 235kg wet, has a seat height of 825mm and 190mm of ground clearance, and makes 93.8hp. Expect about 60 mpg, for a range of around 225 miles from its 17-litre tank.
4/10
Holloway Green Lane Score
A strong, well-specified middleweight built for gravel lanes and dry tracks, its weight and road-tuned suspension aren't suited to rutted, boggy single-track. Rider ability, terrain, weather and tyre choice still move the real answer more than the bike alone does.

Where the Voge 900DSX sits
Wet weight against ground clearance for every bike in the finder that publishes both. Light and tall, top left, is where the easiest green lane bikes sit. Tap a dot to open that bike.
Figures are manufacturer claims. Clearance is measured differently by different makers, so treat small gaps as a draw.
Will your feet reach?
The Voge 900DSX has a 825mm seat. Enter your inside leg for a rough idea of how much foot you'll get down when stopped.
A rough guide only. A wide seat needs more leg than a narrow one, the suspension settles 20 to 40mm under you, and boots add a little. Many bikes offer a low seat or lowering link. Sit on one before you buy.
Range against similar bikes
Real-world range from tank size and typical economy, against the bikes closest to it in weight and type. Out on the lanes, fuel stops are often further apart than on a road ride.
Range only. Hard off-road riding and headwinds use more fuel, so plan fuel stops with margin.
Tyres that fit the Voge 900DSX
It runs a 90/90-21 front and a 150/70-17 rear, on Pirelli Scorpion Trail II from the factory. 44 tyres in our Tyre Finder are made in at least one of those sizes, ranked by green lane score.
Sizes are for the standard UK model and can change between model years. Check the size on your own tyre sidewall, and ask your dealer before fitting a different size. Our size lists come from maker and retailer listings and can miss sizes, so a tyre shown for one end may still be made in your other size. Check the maker's size chart.
The Voge 900DSX is a disruptor in the middleweight adventure sector. Powered by Loncin's 895cc parallel twin (the same powerplant manufactured for BMW's F900 series), it delivers 93.8hp and 91Nm of strong, tractor-like pull across the rev range. Road manners and high-speed stability are strong, aided by Brembo brakes, heated seats, and a standard quickshifter. On the trails, the 21-inch front wheel rolls smoothly over rocks, but its 235kg wet weight and road-biased suspension damping mean it's tailored for gravel lanes and dry farm tracks rather than rutted, boggy single-track.
Pros for green laning
Proven 895cc parallel twin: built on the BMW F900-derived engine (93.8hp/91Nm), providing strong, stall-resistant low-rpm tractor pull.
Accessible 825mm seat height: a low perch allows average-height riders to flat-foot and paddle easily through slippery gateways.
21-inch front spoked wheel: rolls smoothly over rocks, potholes, and ruts far better than 19-inch road-biased alternatives.
High standard specification: includes Brembo brakes, cornering ABS, a quickshifter, heated seat/grips, a dashcam, and full crash bars for £8,499.
Cons and limitations
Heavy 235kg wet weight: substantially heavy on wet clay, requiring serious physical effort to haul upright solo.
17-inch rear wheel: limits access to hardcore FIM enduro tyres compared to standard 18-inch rims.
Modest 190mm ground clearance: a low belly requires careful line choice over rocky steps and raised trail berms.
Soft road-biased suspension: stock damping is tuned for road comfort and wallows under aggressive off-road pace.
Based on manufacturer specifications and independent motorcycle press reviews.
Remember: a rank here assumes reasonable stock tyres and a competent rider in decent conditions. The right tyres, or the wrong weather, can move a lane from easy to genuinely hard regardless of what bike you're on. Check a lane's own difficulty and hazards on the map before you go, don't rely on a bike score alone.
