QJMotor - 400 cc, 500 cc and 600 cc models

QJMotor is set to become a better-known brand outside its Chinese homeland during 2022 with a Moto3 race effort under its name and a growing ambition to offer its ever-growing range of bikes in Europe.
The Moto3 effort will be with the well known Avintia team, using KTM race bikes rebranded to sport the QJMotor branding, with European sales intentions heavily suggested by QJMotor's presence at EICMA last year. Given that the company's own brand is effectively a Benelli sister brand, owned by the same Qianjiang parent company, there is no surprise that it shares many of the same frames, engines and suspension components with Benelli models, and there's already a dealer and distributor network in place should it decide to enter the European market.

600RR

Indeed, QJMotor's latest new models, revealed in Chinese approval documents, look increasingly convincing from a European perspective.
They start with a redesigned version of the 600 cc four-cylinder sports model, the 600RR, which itself is made around the engine and chassis of the old Benelli TNT600i. That bike dropped off the radar in Europe after the Euro 4 emissions rules were introduced, but recently Qianjiang has been developing an upsized 650 cc version that might well be able to meet Euro 5 requirements. This new QJMotor initially retains the 600 cc version but gets new bodywork, including a restyled nose with more modern headlights and the addition of GP-inspired winglets.

SRK400

Other changes include a new exhaust, while the engine's output - 87 hp - is rated as being 7 hp higher than the previous generation. The suspension comes from Marzocchi, which recently signed a deal to allow Qianjiang to take over the responsibility for manufacturing its components in China; the brakes are Brembo. The new SRV500 is an addition to the QJMotor range based on an existing model of the same name.
QJMotor has also been working on a new 400RR, 400R and SRK400, all based around a new 400 cc parallel twin engine. The 400RR is the top version, with a single-sided swingarm and dual front brake discs, while the 400R shares the same fully-faired styling.
Just as Qianjiang has a deal with Harley-Davidson, it also has an arrangement to manufacture smaller models with MV Agusta. The first will be the newly launched MV Lucky Explorer 5.5, which shares many of its parts with QJMotor's 500 cc adventure bike and the near-identical Benelli TRK502.
