In what could be a defining moment for the global motorcycle industry, China’s QJMotor has joined forces with Italian heavyweight MV Agusta to create a superbike that might just shift the balance of power—meet the SRK1000RR.

Though the bike is still under wraps, insider information has confirmed its existence, setting the stage for its grand debut towards the end of 2023 and production starting in early 2024.

A Sisterhood with Benelli

QJMotor, which is closely connected to another popular bike manufacturer, Benelli, has already received formal approval for the SRK1000RR in China. Both companies fall under the umbrella of Qianjiang Group. Official documents that provide specs and even a completed image of the bike have been shared at QJMotor dealer meetings.

A Partnership Born from Previous Collaborations

The roots of this collaboration go back to September 2020 when Qianjiang hinted at plans for a new four-cylinder superbike under the Benelli brand. It was evident that the engine was provided by MV Agusta, who also struck a distribution deal with Qianjiang for the Chinese market at the same time. 

The partnership became even more apparent last year when MV Agusta showcased a prototype for an adventure bike featuring a Qianjiang engine and chassis. This new superbike can be seen as a sort of cousin to that bike, but with a design led by QJMotor. 

Taking Inspiration but Keeping Secrets

At first glance, it’s clear that the SRK1000RR takes design elements from MV Agusta’s iconic Brutale 1000 RS, particularly the unique swingarm and the special frame that combines metal alloys and steel.

However, MV Agusta has held back from lending the powerful engine that drives its Brutale 1000 RS. Instead, the SRK1000RR will feature a less powerful, 921cc engine, producing 125-127 horsepower and 95Nm of torque.

What’s Next?

The 921cc engine itself seems to be part of MV’s broader strategy, as it was also teased in a retro concept bike last year. There is also speculation that QJMotor might manufacture engines for other MV Agusta bikes and be allowed to use the same engine for their own models. This kind of partnership isn’t new in the motorcycle world; another Chinese company, CFMoto, has a similar arrangement with Austrian bike maker KTM.

This exciting alliance between QJMotor and MV Agusta seems to be more than a fleeting partnership; it’s a strong indication that China’s motorcycle industry is gearing up to compete on a global scale. And if the SRK1000RR lives up to the hype, it could very well become a significant player in the two wheels arena. 

Mforce Bike Holdings Sdn. Bhd., recognized as the official custodian of the QJMOTOR brand in Malaysia, stunned motorcycle aficionados by revealing the striking SRK600RC.

  • Boasting a 600cc engine, this bike is poised to redefine the mid-range motorcycle segment with its captivating design and exhilarating performance.
  • The SRK600RC is available in two colour options, both offering Gresini Racing Moto2 livery.

Starting at RM39,888 (exclusive of insurance and road tax) and available in elegant shades of Black and Blue, the SRK600RC stands as a testament to QJMOTOR’s commitment to craft, performance, and value.

Delving deeper into its core, the SRK600RC houses a meticulously engineered four-cylinder, 16-valve engine fortified with a DOHC system. The liquid-cooled mechanism ensures optimal thermal management, allowing the motorcycle to deliver consistent power outputs across varying conditions. With a staggering 81hp @ 11,000rpm and an impressive torque of 51Nm @ 10,500rpm, the SRK600RC is set to offer riders blistering acceleration and thrilling performance with every twist of the throttle.

Complementing the robust engine is a Manual Multi-Plate Wet Clutch (ASC) paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. This combination ensures smooth gear transitions, granting riders a greater degree of control and responsiveness, essential for both city jaunts and long rides.

Weighing 225kg, the SRK600RC strikes a balance between agility and stability. It’s evident that every gram and every design line was meticulously thought out, guaranteeing optimal on-road performance. Further enhancing rider safety is the inclusion of an Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and a quickshifter (for up-shift only).

This advanced braking mechanism ensures that the wheels don’t lock up during sudden or intense braking situations, thereby bolstering braking efficiency and reducing chances of skidding.

Beyond its mechanical prowess, the SRK600RC showcases an impeccable design ethos. It isn’t just a machine; it’s a work of art. The attention to detail, the sculpted bodywork, and the aggressive stance promise not only a delightful ride but also turning heads wherever it goes. 

For those eager to experience the SRK600RC firsthand, this magnificent machine is now available across all authorized QJMOTOR dealers in Malaysia.

In the ever-evolving landscape of urban mobility, electric motorcycles and scooters continue to redefine the way we traverse city streets.

  • the OAO Pro offers a good range of 170 kilometers per charge. 
  • powering the OAO Pro is a mid-mounted electric motor capable of producing a nominal output of 5kW and a peak output of 10kW. 

One standout contender is the QJMotor all-new electric motorcycle the OAO Pro. Previously known as the QJ Motor RX, this electric sportbike has undergone a transformation since its debut at EICMA 2022. 

Renamed and refined, the OAO Pro now boasts a remarkable range of 170km per charge, a significant upgrade from its initial 120 kilometers.

Underneath its sleek exterior, the OAO Pro houses a mid-mounted electric motor with a nominal output of 5k, peaking at 10kW during overtaking manoeuvres. These figures, while modest on paper, translate into an exhilarating and responsive ride experience thanks to its continuous power delivery. A 72-volt, 90-ampere-hour battery pack fuels the motor, benefiting from regenerative braking for efficient charging.

With a top speed of 60 miles per hour, the OAO Pro strikes a balance between urban commuting practicality and sporty dynamics. A manual transmission with four gears preserves the spirited feel of traditional sportbikes, catering to riders seeking an engaging ride.

Weighing in at a nimble 164kg and featuring a low seat height of 780 millimeters, the QJ Motor OAO Pro offers accessibility to riders of varying statures. 

Meanwhile, ABS-equipped brakes and LED lights ensure safety, while an LCD instrument cluster, complete with a convenient USB socket, keeps riders well-informed during their journey.

China’s motorcycle industry has been steadily improving in recent years, but there’s still room for innovation compared to their European, Japanese, and American counterparts. However, a promising development is on the horizon, as Qianjiang, the parent company of QJMotor and Benelli, has filed a new patent for an electronically controlled clutch system.

This exciting breakthrough is showcased on the QJMotor SRK700, a powerful 700cc twin-cylinder engine also used in the Benelli TRK702. Unlike the usual hydraulic or cable-operated clutches we see in most motorcycles, this electronic clutch is different. It allows for precise control using electronics, giving riders more options and flexibility.

What sets this innovation apart is that it can be used in different ways. On one hand, it maintains a conventional clutch lever look, but it is operated electronically, not manually. This could lead to smoother and more precise gear changes. On the other hand, it could also be part of a semi-automatic or fully automatic transmission system, making riding even easier and more enjoyable.

Some other companies have introduced automatic clutch systems in the past, but Qianjiang’s approach seems unique. It could allow riders to switch between a manual mode, where they have full control over the clutch and gears, and an automatic mode, where the bike takes care of shifting gears on its own, making riding effortless.

This innovative electronic clutch system represents a significant step forward for the Chinese motorcycle industry. It brings fresh possibilities for improving the riding experience and attracting more riders to embrace motorcycling. As the technology continues to evolve, we can expect other manufacturers to take notice and work towards their own advancements.

QJMotor terus mengukuhkan kedudukan selaku pengeluar motosikal China paling aktif dengan pelancaran SRV 700 Flash yang telah dikemas kini bagi tahun 2023. 

Motosikal segmen cruiser itu kini tampil dengan dua varian, dibezakan dengan penggunaan rantai dan ‘belting’. Namun begitu, tidak dapat dipastikan sama ada kedua-duanya akan dipasarkan di China atau salah satu daripadanya akan dijual di pasaran luar. 

Selain daripada kemaskini kecil itu, SRV 700 Flash terus dikuasakan enjin parallel-twin 693cc dengan penyejukan cecair dan suntikan bahan api yang berupaya menghasilkan 76hp dan 65Nm. Enjin tersebut dipadankan bersama transmisi manual 6-kelajuan. 

Bahagian casis pula merangkumi kerangka besi konvensional yang dipadankan bersama fork jenis inverted di bahagian depan dan monoshock tunggal belakang yang diimbangi ke sebelah kanan. 

Ciri moden lain ditawarkan termasuk ABS dwi-saluran dengan cakera brek berkembar depan selain daripada penggunaan rim 16-inci depan dan belakang. 

Dalam pada itu, SRV 700 Flash ini juga didakwa akan menembusi pasaran global lain namun tidak dapat dipastikan sama ada pasaran tersebut membabitkan Malaysia. 

Di China, SRV 700 Flash ini dijual dengan harga CNY39,999 (RM25.6k). 

Harley-Davidson has made headlines once again with the launch of its new X 500 roadster, just weeks after unveiling the X 350 and “leaked” spy shots of the Hero MotoCorp-developed 4XX.

  • The X500 is the result of a partnership between Harley-Davidson and Chinese brand QJ Motor.
  • The motorcycle is based on the Benelli Leoncino 500.

Sharing many components with the Leoncino, the X500 boasts a 500cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, producing 47hp and 46Nm, as well as a steel tube frame, 50mm USD fork, offset monoshock, and 17-inch alloy wheels. However, the X500 sets itself apart visually with its neoteric styling, taking cues from the Harley-Davidson XR1200X.

The bike’s features are minimal, including a monopod semi-digital instrument console with a digital inset and dual-channel ABS as the only electronic aid.

The only notable departure from the classic Harley-Davidson aesthetic is the integration of rear indicators with the tail lights.

With a kerb weight of 208kg, the X500 is a heavy machine that promises to deliver the signature Harley-Davidson riding experience while appealing to a wider global audience.

Chinese motorcycle maker, QJMotor has ramp up its motorsport intiatives in 2023 by becoming the main sponsor for the Gresini Racing Team in Moto2. 

  • Gresini Racing Team announced QJMotor as the new main sponsor for the 2023 season. 
  • Filip Salac and Jeremy Alcoba to spearhead QJMotor-Gresini Racing Team’s effort. 

 

As a result, the racing team which was founded by the late Fausto Gresini is being renamed as QJMotor Gresini Racing Team for the 2023 season. QJMotor Gresini Racing Team Moto2 will take on the upcoming season with two 21-year-olds, Filip Salac and Jeremy Alcoba. 

“I’m happy to start my second year in Moto2 with a crew I already know. We did a good job in the last races of 2022 and I hope we will start right from where we finished,” said Salac in an official statement. 

The Czech rider is also adamant of delivering a better result in 2023, hoping to finish in Top 10. 

“My target is to gain as much experience as possible and try to finish all the races in top10 and points. For me, as a rider, it will be a very important season as I’m not a rookie anymore and it’s time for me to show my real potential,” he added. 

Aside from the premier class, the  level of competitiveness in Moto2 should improve greatly particularly due to Triumph has tuned the inline-three 765cc to produce 140hp. 

Chinese motorcycle giant QJMotor has launched its latest entry-level motorcycle, the SRK400, in Europe.

  • QJMotor ready to compete the entry-level naked bike segment with the all-new SRK400.
  • The SRK400 features 400cc parallel-twin engine and is equipped with modern equipment including ABS. 

The naked-style motorcycle is set to please new and young European riders thanks to its sporty and aggressive design and nifty equipment.

Mechanically, the SRK400 is equipped with a 400cc parallel twin-cylinder with a liquid-cooled and fuel-injected engine that makes 41.5hp @ 9,000rpm and 37Nm @ 7,000rpm. 

The power figure puts the SRK400, on average, in the entry-level segment, making it a good option for new riders seeking that extra kick. 

In addition, the SRK400 also features dual-channel ABS for added safety. 

However, similar to other QJMotor ranges of bikes, the SRK400 tips the scale at 176kg, making it the heaviest among its rival. 

That said, the bike might not offer the best handling and acceleration due to its longer and taller dimension.

Nonetheless, the standout part of the SRK400 is the price tag, coming in at just EUR5,790 (RM27.1k).

QJMotor has been making headlines in the global motorcycle industry over the last few years, particularly via its subsidiary, Benelli and Keeway.

  • MBP’s is the latest premium brand under Keeway that is owned by QJMotor. 
  • Similar to the Benelli, MBP also has an Italian origin. 

Benelli is going strong after the acquisition by QJMotor, with the TRK502 emerging as the most popular ADV bike in its home country, Italy. 

Also, thanks to the wide range of models including the upcoming TRK800, TNT500, BKX250 and BKX250 S, the brand will continue to grow its influence with years to come.

That said, QJMotor now wants to carve similar success with Keeway after the brand recently gave birth to a premium subsidiary called the Moto Bologna Passione (MBP).

MBP recently showcased several models at EICMA, but the one that caught our attention is the T1002V adventure-tourer. 

Mechanically, the T1002V is fitted with an all-new 997cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, 80-degree V-Twin engine that pumps out 95hp @ 7,600rpm and 96Nm @ 6,500rpm. Power-wise, it is on par with the KTM 890 Adventure R and BMW F 850 GS. 

Adding to its ADV aesthetic is a set of tubeless wire-spoke wheels and adjustable KYB long-travel suspension. Braking is done via dual front disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear paired with Brembo-owned J.Juan callipers.

Similar to QJMotor’s current ADV range, including the SRT800 and TRK800, the MBP T1002V also features a full-colour dash, adjustable windscreen and a center stand.

However, pricing is yet to be made available, as well as when the T1002V will hit the market. Nonetheless, we’ll keep you updated on this interesting development. 

MForce Bike Holdings, the official distributor of QJMotor brand in Malaysia, is set to roll out three new motorcycles in November.

  • QJMotor SRK250RR, SRV250 and SRK250 to be available at authorized dealership beginning November 2022.
  • Alll model features the same 249cc two-cylinder engine. 

In an official statement, MForce will introduce the QJMotor SRK250RR, SRV250 and SRK250.

Despite the differences in styling and riding ergonomics, all three quarter-litre motorcycles feature the same 249cc two-cylinder 8-valve DOHC engine.

However, all models offer different engine tuning to best suit their purposes.

As a result, the SRK250 is the most powerful among the three, with 31.5hp @ 11,000rpm and 21.2Nm @ 9,000rpm. Meanwhile, the cruiser-style SRV250 makes 27.5hp @ 9,000rpm and 23Nm @ 7,000rpm. The engine is also tuned for a fiercer engine grunt. 

Next, the SRK250RR is intended for sportier riders, and as a result, the bike makes 25hp @ 8,500rpm and 24.1Nm @ 6,500rpm. The gear shift is also improved thanks to Assist/Slipper Clutch system. 

Spec-wise, the SRV250 gets inverted telescopic forks and dual-shock absorbers to allow for better stability on the road.

As usual, all three motorcycles feature LED lights and a digital LCD instrument display.

According to MForce, the SRK250RR is priced higher than the rest at RM18,888, while the SRV250 and SRK250 are available for RM16,888.
