Zhejiang CFMOTO Power Co., Ltd, commonly knowns as CFMOTO, is a Chinese brand of motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. It is a subsidiary of ChunFeng Holding Group Co,. Ltd, a private holding enterprise[1]. The company was established in 1989 and today is a large-scale motorcycle and powersports manufacturer in China specializing in water-cooled engines, motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles (ATV) and light side-by-side, or utility vehicles (UTV).[2]
Zhejiang CFMOTO Power Co., Ltd (浙江春风动力股份有限公司) (603129.SS) is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.[3]
History
CFMOTO was established in 1989 in Wenzhou, China[4] and began by producing motorcycle parts and components. In 1996, CFMOTO established Chunfeng Holding Group Co., Ltd.,[5] which allowed the company to begin international development.
In 2006, CFMOTO attended EICMA in Milan, Italy for the first time[4] and in the same year, opened its new production base in Hangzhou, China.[1] In 2010, CFMOTO introduced its first road-racing motorcycle, the V-Night, and began participating in the Chinese Road Racing Championship (CRRC).[6]
CFMOTO entered the Guinness World Record books in 2013 for the longest journey by motorcycle in a single country.[7] The 33,357.15-km journey, taking place in 146 days through China from July 19 to December 11, was accomplished by a CFMOTO 650TR motorcycle piloted by Buck Perley (USA) and Amy Mathieson (UK).[8]
In 2013, CFMOTO garnered attention on the international racing stage by becoming the first Chinese manufacturer to compete at the Isle of Man TT (IOMTT).[9] The company returned in 2016, where the WK Bikes CFMOTO Factory Team, with rider Gary Johnson, finished fourth in the Bennetts Lightweight TT aboard a 650 motorcycle.[10]
CFMOTO announced at the 2013 China International Motorcycle Trade Exhibition (CIMA) that it was entering into a collaboration with Austrian manufacturer KTM to supply the Chinese motorcycle market a range of KTM motorcycles (via CKD assembly) under the trademark KTMR2R.[11] In September 2014 came another collaboration with an Austrian company, KISKA. CFMOTO collaborated with design company KISKA in the release of the 2015 CFMOTO 150NK,[12] marking the beginning of KISKA's overhaul of the company's design and branding.[13]
In October 2017, CFMOTO and KTM established a joint venture company known as CFMOTO-KTMR2R, marked with an official groundbreaking ceremony in March 2018.[14] Under the new JV company, the Hangzhou site becomes a KTM global manufacturing site, graduating from the previous CKD-only arrangement.[15]
On August 18, 2017, Zhejiang CFMOTO Power Co., Ltd. (浙江春风动力股份有限公司) (603129.SS) was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, selling 33 million shares, amounting to 25% of its total capital.[3][16]
CFMOTO returned to EICMA in 2019 to launch its brand new 700CL-X series of modern classic motorcycles[17], signaling the company's entry into the European motorcycle market.[18][19]
At CIMA in September 2020, CFMOTO revealed the new 1250TR-G touring motorcycle, the most powerful production bike ever produced in China.[20]
Vehicles and Products
Motorcycles
CFMOTO introduced its first scooter, the E-Jewel, in 2000. It was followed by cruiser-style motorcycles, the V3 and V5,[21] and evolved to include the company's first liquid-cooled 649.3cc parallel-twin DOHC nearly a decade later. The 650 platform has been a popular one for CFMOTO, and has found its way onto multiple middleweight motorcycles, including the CFMOTO 650NK naked street bike,[22] the CFMOTO 650GT sport touring motorcycle[23] and the CFMOTO 650MT adventure tourer.[24]
While the 650 platform remains the featured family of motorcycles from CFMOTO, the company has a full line of offerings, from the 125cc ST Papio mini street bike to the newly revealed 700CL-X Heritage.[25] The CFMOTO 1250TR-G sport touring motorcycle, revealed at CIMA in September 2020, is not yet available publicly, but the 1,279cc V-twin will become the largest displacement motorcycle ever produced in China once it reaches production.[20]
