by New sportbike from QJMotor with Italian design
Chinese motorcycle manufacturers are increasingly asserting themselves on the global market, offering models with attractive design, good performance, and an affordable price. One such player is QJMotor, which has introduced the new powerful sportbike SRK 1051 RR.
Key features of the new motorcycle:
The heart of the motorcycle: technical specifications
The SRK 1051 RR model is an evolution of the previous SRK 921 RR. Its foundation is an inline four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1,051 cubic centimeters. Compared to the 921cc unit, the increase in displacement was achieved by increasing the cylinder bore from 73 mm to 78 mm, which allowed raising the power from 129 to 144 horsepower. The engine retains liquid cooling, 16 valves, and dual overhead camshafts.
This power is not enough to compete with top-tier superbikes developing over 200 hp, but it is quite sufficient for getting vivid riding impressions.
European design roots
The motorcycle’s frame is made according to a steel trellis scheme using aluminum elements, including a single-sided swingarm inspired by Ducati solutions. However, the European influence extends far beyond individual components.
The entire design of the motorcycle was created by the Italian studio C-Creative, founded by Giovanni Castiglioni, the former head of MV Agusta. The development was directly led by Adrian Morton, the author of many iconic MV Agusta models. The result is a motorcycle whose proportions, contours, and details easily reveal the hand of a European designer.
Specification and equipment
The motorcycle received a rich set of electronic rider aids and high-quality componentry. Standard equipment includes a bi-directional quickshifter, lean-angle-sensitive traction control, cruise control, a tire pressure monitoring system, and a steering damper.
The braking system is represented by Brembo products with ABS, which also adapts to the lean angle. The suspension consists of fully adjustable Marzocchi shocks front and rear. The instrument panel is a color TFT display with support for smartphone connectivity for navigation and multimedia.
The motorcycle’s wheelbase is 1,425 mm, seat height is 32.9 inches. It uses 17-inch wheels with 120/70 tires at the front and 190/50 at the rear. The vehicle’s mass is 215 kg, which is somewhat more than most competitors, whose weight is usually 180-200 kg.
Expectations and prospects
Information about the exact price of the new model is not yet available. It is expected that the motorcycle will first appear on the European market next year, and then will be offered in other regions. The less powerful 921 RR model costs 12,999 euros in Germany, so it can be assumed that the new version will be slightly more expensive when it arrives in showrooms in early 2026.
The emergence of models like the SRK 1051 RR vividly demonstrates a paradigm shift in the global motorcycle industry. Chinese brands are no longer just copying Western examples, but are actively engaging world experts to create competitive products. This gives consumers a wider choice and may contribute to a general increase in standards in the segment of affordable high-performance motorcycles. The success of such projects will depend not only on technical characteristics and price, but also on durability, service quality, and the formation of the brand’s own reputation.
