Chinese motorcycles head for Europe

Chongqing-based motorcycle manufacturer ZXMOTO has dispatched its first large-scale shipment of bikes to the European market. The shipment set sail from Shanghai on Wednesday, Chongqing Customs said.

Earlier this year, ZXMOTO clinched a historic victory in the Portuguese leg of the 2026 FIM Supersport World Championship, the first win for a Chinese manufacturer in the Supersport class. As of mid-June, the team had secured its sixth win in the 2026 World Superbike Championship [WSBK] season.

This initial shipment to Europe included 200 motorcycles. It is the first time ZXMOTO has exported finished motorcycles to Europe in bulk. The journey began at Chongqing's Guoyuan Port, where the bikes were declared for export. From there, they traveled down the Yangtze River to Shanghai, where they were transferred to sea freight for their final destination in Poland.
