The Latest Breaking News from CFMoto

Royal Enfield is reportedly working on a new small-displacement motorcycle with an engine sourced from none other than Chinese manufacturer CFMoto.

Ten years ago, if someone mentioned a Chinese motorcycle, chances are it was followed by an eye-roll. They were known as cheap knockoffs. Affordable, sure, but often plagued with questionable build quality, outdated tech, and styling that ranged from forgettable to downright weird. Brands like CFMoto were rarely taken seriously,…

For the longest time, Chinese motorcycle brands had a bit of a reputation problem. Knockoff designs, questionable quality, and a tendency to “borrow” from the big names made it easy to dismiss them. But things have changed. Fast. Today, companies like CFMoto and QJ Motor are building real bikes with…

Think back, if you can, to early January. Back then, times were extremely uncertain for KTM, and no one quite knew what would come of the mega Austrian brand's struggles. Opinions are naturally wide and varied among any group of people, but generally speaking, no one wants to see an…

Let’s talk about CFMoto for a second. What started out in Hangzhou, China in the late ‘80s as a humble manufacturer of engines and parts is now one of the fastest-growing motorcycle brands in the world. These days, they’re not just playing catch-up—they’re competing head-on with the big names. With…

Look, based on everything that's been going on with KTM, I won't discount any new rumor that hits the streets. Why? Because most of them have come to fruition in the manner that was originally reported on. See KTM's denials about its financial situation or that the MotoGP team wasn't…

Cruisers sure aren’t what they used to be. I’ve said this again and again, but the days of massive, loud, fire-breathing V-twins being the only option in the cruiser scene are long gone. The modern cruiser world is all about being practical, approachable, and, dare I say, sensible. Look at…

Just a few years ago, Chinese motorcycles had nothing but a bad reputation. Sure, they were cheap, but they were by no means the first choice for riders looking for performance and reliability. But if we fast forward to today, things are changing a bit, and names like CFMoto and…

Last year, the English-speaking motorcycle internet was awash in a sea of "what on earth is CFMoto thinking?" Why, you might ask? Because that's when a patent application that the OEM had applied for back in 2022 was published, and that patent appeared to be one for a seatbelt and…
