en.Wedoany.com Reported - Verified by the China National Motorcycle Quality Inspection and Testing Center (Chongqing) for professional speed measurement and notarized on-site by the Hangzhou National Notary Public Office in Zhejiang Province, the V4 SR-RR motorcycle from Zhejiang CFMOTO Power Co., Ltd. (CFMOTO) completed a top-speed special test on June 15, 2026, at the Zhongjiao Automotive Comprehensive Test Site in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province. The measured maximum speed reached 315.82 km/h, successfully breaking the domestic motorcycle top-speed record. With this achievement, China became the fourth country globally, after Italy, Japan, and Germany, to independently develop a liter-class motorcycle exceeding 300 km/h in top speed.

Zhejiang CFMOTO Power Co., Ltd. (603129.SH), founded in 1989 and headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, is a company specializing in the research, development, manufacturing, and sales of large-displacement motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, and supporting core components. It was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2017 and has consistently ranked first in export value among Chinese-brand all-terrain vehicles, with business operations spanning over 100 countries and regions.

The V4 SR-RR, which set this top-speed record, is equipped with CFMOTO's fully independently developed 997cc 90° V4 water-cooled four-cylinder engine, with a maximum speed of 15,000 rpm and a maximum power of 157 kW (over 210 horsepower). The vehicle's dry weight is controlled at around 180 kg, with a dry weight-to-power ratio of only 0.86, fully comparable to the world's top supercars. This engine has obtained over 40 related patents, with both core components and system integration being independently developed from scratch. The vehicle's domestic production rate exceeds 90%, and the domestic production rate of core components exceeds 80%. The V4 SR-RR also features MotoGP-derived reverse crankshaft technology, the first application of this technology in a domestic model, effectively suppressing wheelies during acceleration and optimizing cornering flexibility. The vehicle is also equipped with an active electronically controlled adaptive wing system, which automatically adjusts the angle based on speed, reducing wind resistance by 12% during acceleration and increasing front wheel downforce by 45% at high speeds.

This test was conducted under headwind conditions. The first round of testing achieved 315.82 km/h, while the second round recorded a speed of 308.8 km/h. Due to persistently strong winds at the site, the organizer terminated subsequent tests for safety reasons, using the first-round result as the officially certified top-speed record. Test rider Du Bang achieved this result, while another test rider, Huang Shizhao, also surpassed the 300 km/h mark on the same day. The V4 SR-RR that set this record is a pre-production engineering prototype, neither a special customized version nor professionally modified for racing, representing the technological pinnacle of Chinese fuel-powered motorcycles. CFMOTO Vice President Chen Zhiyong stated that this top-speed breakthrough marks the official transition of Chinese motorcycles from technology followers to leaders, with Chinese brands beginning to deeply participate in and reshape the global high-performance motorcycle industry landscape.
