Chinese motorcycle manufacturers used EICMA 2026 to showcase their growing ambitions, unveiling new middleweight sports bikes, adventure motorcycles and naked bikes aimed at competing with established Japanese, European and Indian brands. Among the China manufacturers with Malaysian representation are ZXMOTO, Kove, Voge and CFMOTO, whose latest developments underline the increasing sophistication of China’s motorcycle industry.
Their new offerings range from a 645 cc inline-four supersport from Kove to an 819 cc triple-cylinder adventure motorcycle from ZXMOTO, while CFMOTO is expanding its adventure range and Voge has introduced a new 800 cc naked bike.
ZXMOTO, distributed locally by MForce Bike Holdings, showcased the 820R and 820X alongside the 820RR and 500F. The brand entered Malaysia in September with the 500F, 500RR and 820RR, priced at RM28,888, RM29,988 and RM39,888 respectively. The 820X is particularly interesting, using the same 818.8 cc three-cylinder platform as the 820RR but producing 115 hp in adventure-bike specification.
