CF Moto 2-Wheeler Global Performance is astonishing. After delivering an exceptional +79% growth in the previous year, CFMOTO’s global motorcycle sales increased by a further 10.1% in 2025, reaching a new record of just over 250,000 units.

McD tracks new vehicle registrations across 97+ countries worldwide, reporting data based on the calendar year. When comparing the data reported by us to that declared by manufacturers, it’s important to note that manufacturers typically report their “sales” (vehicles invoiced), which often differ from “registrations” due to variations in their fiscal year reporting.

CF Moto Global Performance

Thanks to an exceptional expansion of its product lineup and the rapid development of a global distribution network, CFMOTO has emerged in recent years as the global leader in the powersports segment (ATV and SSV).

This article, however, focuses exclusively on the two-wheeler business, where CFMOTO is now among the fastest-growing manufacturers worldwide.

Until a few years ago, Chinese two-wheeler OEMs largely relied on exporting models originally developed for the domestic market—typically low-cost, single-cylinder commuter motorcycles with small-displacement engines (100–150cc). While this strategy proved effective in price-sensitive regions such as Africa, it limited their ability to compete in more sophisticated markets like Europe and North America.

CFMOTO fundamentally altered this business model by developing a broad and competitive motorcycle range spanning from 125cc to 900cc, combining modern design, advanced technology, and aggressive pricing. The market response has been immediate and positive across most regions.

After delivering an exceptional +79% growth in the previous year, CFMOTO’s global motorcycle sales increased by a further 10.1% in 2025, reaching a new record of just over 250,000 units. Growth was particularly strong in developed and high-potential markets, with Europe up 40%, North America up 48%, Latin America up 42.9%, and ASEAN markets also up 42.9%.

2026 Company Goals

In 2026, the company aims to maintain its growth trajectory by further expanding the model lineup and strengthening brand equity on a global scale.

The new 1000 MT-X is positioned as the flagship of the adventure range, complemented by a redesigned CRAFTED version. At the same time, CFMOTO showcased its growing design and engineering ambitions through concept models such as the 675NK GP and the striking V4 SR-RR, underlining its intention to move further upmarket and compete with established global brands.
