Voge reveals new SR450X scooter
Chinese motorcycle maker Voge has become the latest brand to reveal a mid-displacement scooter that’s itching to be a motorcycle.
It seems as though 2026 is shaping up to be the year of mid-capacity scooters that are motorcycles in disguise, with Voge now joining the party after revealing its all-new SR450X.
The 2025 EICMA show in Milan gave us plenty of exciting new bikes for 2026, but it was also used by several companies as a launch pad for new scooters, with some rather large nods towards motorcycles.
Aprilia, which Voge likely will see as competition when it comes to the new SR450X, revealed its own SR GT 400 scooter that it says takes after the design philosophy, innovation and general attitude of its motorcycle models.
Honda’s ADV 350 can, and probably should be pointed to as a potential rival for Voge’s new SR450X, not just because the two share some visual similarities. However, the new SR450X delivers more power than both the Aprilia and Honda models.
Powered by a 398cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected twin-cylinder engine, the new SR450X produces 41.5 bhp at 8,000rpm and 32.4 Ib-ft of torque at 5,750rpm.
Voge claims the new SR450X is “a versatile scooter designed for both urban commuting and adventure riding”, which again lends itself to being in direct competition with Aprilia’s new model. The Noale-based brand says the SR GT 400 can handle various types of riding, such as “navigating city traffic, long weekend rides, or even a touch of off-road”.
Voge’s mid-capacity SR450X benefits from tubeless spoked wheels, metal crash bars, an aluminium luggage rack, and full LED lighting. Underseat storage aboard the big-bodied scooter can fit up to two helmets, although the exact storage capacity has not been confirmed. It also features keyless ignition, and a lockable glove box.
It gets an upside-down fork, and adjustable KYB rear shock absorbers, while braking is handled by a mixed J.Juan/Nissin system. Furthermore, the SR450X gets 180mm of ground clearance, an adjustable screen, and heated grips and seat.
