On March 27, 2026, the 6th CFMOTO Day officially kicked off at the Chengdu Tianfu International Circuit. As one of the brand’s most representative annual events, this year’s event highlighted CFMOTO’s latest advancements and technical reserves in the sportbike segment during the second day’s launch conference, further underscoring its development path centered on track performance.

At the launch event, CFMOTO emphasized “SR” as the core of its racing DNA. Built around this key series, the brand introduced the all-new mid-displacement sportbike, the 500SR, with an official price of RMB 28,980 for the Chinese market. The model continues the brand’s family design language, featuring sharp, aggressive styling developed with the involvement of an Italian design team. The distinctive front lighting and upswept sport exhaust enhance its visual identity. In terms of craftsmanship, the upper triple clamp receives a more refined sandblasted finish, improving both tactile and visual quality, while the exhaust system undergoes multiple polishing and coating processes to enhance texture as well as long-term durability. The seat height is set at 805 mm, with an optimized seat profile to improve accessibility. Optional seat heights (815 mm and 795 mm) are also available, accommodating riders of different statures.

At the heart of the 500SR lies key highlights: a self-developed 500cc inline 4-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, paired with a BOSCH electronic fuel injection system. It delivers 58 kW at 12,500 rpm and 49 N·m at 10,000 rpm. CFMOTO has implemented multiple optimizations to key engine components and transmission details, enhancing both throttle response and overall stability—contributing to its recorded lap time of 1’08’’246 at Tianma Circuit during prior testing. The motorcycle adopts a chrome-molybdenum steel trellis frame, balancing weight control and structural rigidity. The suspension system offers multi-dimensional adjustability, while the braking setup features Nissin calipers paired with large-diameter discs, delivering strong performance within its class.

In terms of intelligent features, the 500SR keeps pace with current trends. It is equipped with a high-coverage TFT display supporting smartphone connectivity and screen mirroring, alongside an upgraded vehicle connectivity system that includes practical functions such as bike locating. Additionally, the bike offers dual fast-charging ports and compatibility with action cameras, further enhancing convenience and riding experience.

Beyond the production model, CFMOTO also unveiled its flagship sportbike concept, the V4SR-RR, representing the brand’s technological pinnacle. Powered by a near 1-liter V4 engine platform, the model delivers over 210 horsepower, exceeds a top speed of 300 km/h, and revs up to 15,000 rpm—placing it firmly in the realm of top-tire sportbikes. Through extreme lightweight engineering, it achieves an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 0.86 kg/ps, outperforming class benchmarks by 5%. Advanced technologies such as a counter-rotating crankshaft, titanium components, cutting-edge coating processes, a semi-dry lubrication system, and a high-pressure dual-injection fuel system further demonstrate its high technical specifications, signaling a new era of performance.

From the refinement of its mid-displacement lineup to the unveiling of a top-tire performance platform, the announcements at this year’s CFMOTO Day not only reflect the brand’s continued deepening in the sportbike segment but also convey a clear ambition to move toward higher-performance territory. As track-derived technology continues to feed into production models, CFMOTO is steadily strengthening its presence and competitiveness in the global sport motorcycle market.
