Urban Moto Imports will add Chinese motorcycle brand ZXMOTO to their roster, with the new offerings joining Royal Enfield, Rieju, Benelli and Peugeot Scooters. Bikes are set to arrive in Spring of this year.
With a range that’s expected to include the 820RR the brand runs in the Supersport class of World Superbikes, a 500RR sports bike, a 500F naked, and multiple dirt-focused options, ZXMOTO offers an uncompromising focus on performance and advanced technology.
Beyond building a range of motorcycles, the company’s passion for racing will see it compete in the Dakar Rally and the Shanghai round of the MXGP this September, in addition to the current FIM World Superbike Championship campaign.
Aside from the aforementioned triple cylinder 820RR and four cylinder 500RR, ZXMOTO’s off road range includes the four-stroke MX250 and MX450, a ZX300 2-stroke, and a future road-going LAMS option.
“This is a significant signing for Urban Moto Imports and an exciting development for riders across Australia and New Zealand,” UMI CEO Joseph Elasmar said.
“ZXMOTO is a brand with serious momentum, a clear focus on performance and passion, and a product range that we believe will genuinely surprise people,” he added. “Seeing the ZXMOTO operation first-hand gave us real confidence in the brand.”
Elasmar explains that meeting founder and CEO Zhang Xue only reinforced what UMI had already seen in ZXMOTO. “He is a true motorcyclist at heart, with a clear passion for racing, product development and motorcycle design.”
The use of world-class components from suppliers such as Bosch, Brembo, TAISKO and KYB, combined with ZXMOTO’s own engineering and development should deliver a refined, reliable and confidence-inspiring ride for motorcyclists across a wide range of experience levels.
