QJ MOTOR arrives in Spain with a range of 7 motorcycles, and with a 6-year warranty!

They come from China, but they are not “low-cost” bikes. In fact, QJ MOTOR doesn’t even want to hear the term. They don’t deny their origins, but they make a weighty argument: every day we use “made in China” products that have earned their place in the premium category. And if you are thinking of some high-end smartphones, you would be right.

The brand itself describes itself as irreverent and unashamed. And it wants to get across the message that it offers quality products for customers who are not willing to pay a single euro more than necessary. They seem to be on the right track, judging by the range of motorcycles they are bringing to Spain, the enthusiasm and scale of the project… and the courage to offer a 6-year warranty as standard on all their models. They also have the backing of MB Motor, part of the Motos Bordoy Group, which is a real guarantee that the project will be brought safely into port.

As a first introduction, it is worth mentioning that QJ MOTOR is owned by QJIAN Motorcycle, which also owns Benelli. In turn, QJIANG Motorcyle is owned by the Asian giant Geely, whose brands include none other than Volvo, Polestar, Lotus, Proton Cars, Geely Auto and Link & Go.

Let’s go through the whole range with which QJ MOTOR is landing in Spain, made up of 7 models in the adventure, street and custom segments. And I’ll tell you one thing up front: any resemblance to Benelli motorcycles, as you can imagine, is no coincidence; quite the opposite, you will struggle to tell them apart beyond the logos.

The Adventure range: versatile motorcycles with a twin-cylinder engine

In the Adventure range, QJ MOTOR offers two very versatile models: the SRT 800 in On Road and Off Road versions, and the SRT 550.

SRT 800 On Road / SRT 800X Off Road

Distinguished mainly by their decoration, tyres and wheels (spoked wheels on the 800X, with more rugged tyres), the SRT 800s feature a 754 cc water-cooled twin-cylinder engine with an output of 56 kW (76 CV), although they are also offered in a version limited to 35 kW for riders with an A2 licence. The SRT 800 is offered in grey and blue, and the 800X in grey and red. Don’t bother looking: there is no other motorcycle on the market with these characteristics and a price below 10,000 euros. These are its most important figures:

• 754 cc twin-cylinder engine
• Maximum power: 56 kW
• Maximum torque: 67 Nm
• 19/17″ front/rear spoked wheels on the SRT 800X
• 17″ front/rear alloy wheels on the SRT 800
• Weight: 235 kg (800X); 254 kg (800)
• Front upside-down fork
• Brakes with twin front discs, rear disc and ABS
• Full LED digital instrumentation
• Price: from 9,499 euros (800); from 9,999 euros (800X)

SRT 550

The SRT 550 version keeps the same adventurous look as the SRT 800s, although in this case there is no “X” version, only an on-road variant. With a 35 kW twin-cylinder engine, it allows the price to be lowered to offer a very versatile and flexible motorcycle from 6,499 euros, when it becomes available shortly.

• 554 cc twin-cylinder engine
• Maximum power: 35 kW
• Maximum torque: 51 Nm
• 17″ alloy wheels
• Front upside-down fork
• Brakes with twin front discs, rear disc and ABS
• Full LED digital instrumentation
• Price: from 6,499 euros

The QJ MOTOR Street range: fun motorcycles at a good price

Character, sporty design, riding fun… The QJ MOTOR street range competes in one of the toughest segments of the market. That is why the brand has decided to enter it with up to three versions, with 550, 400 and 750 cc engines, and prices starting from 5,699 euros

SRK 700

The most powerful in the street range uses a 698 cc twin-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 54 kW (72 CV), but there is the option of choosing the version limited to 35 kW. It is only offered in black.

• 698 cc twin-cylinder engine
• Maximum power: 54 kW (version limited to 35 kW)
• Maximum torque: 67 Nm
• 17″ alloy wheels

• Brakes with twin front discs, rear disc and ABS
• Full LED digital instrumentation
• Weight: 196 kg
• Price: from 6,999 euros

SRK 400

Less powerful than its bigger sister, but no less fun, thanks to its twin-cylinder engine, also liquid-cooled, with 30.5 kW of power. It can be chosen in black or grey, the latter with the frame painted in a contrasting green. Sportiness for the tightest budgets.

• 400 cc twin-cylinder engine
• Maximum power: 30.5 kW

SRV 550

Straddling street and custom motorcycles, although closer to the former, the SRV 550 differs from the two SRKs with a classic design with modern touches. It is fitted with a twin-cylinder engine producing 35 kW (47 CV), so it is suitable for riders with an A2 licence. Only available in grey/black.

• 554 cc twin-cylinder engine
• Maximum power: 35 kW
• Maximum torque: 51 Nm
• 17″ alloy wheels
• Front upside-down fork

The QJ Motor Custom range: the classic touch

For the more traditional riders, who are drawn to the custom style, QJ Motor’s proposal includes two versions, the SRV 300 and the SRV 125, which will become the entry point to the range, with a price yet to be announced

SRV 300

From 5,000 euros you can get a custom like the SRV 300, with a V-twin engine, good standard equipment and eye-catching looks, whether you choose black or orange.

• 296 cc twin-cylinder engine
• Maximum power: 22.6 kW
• Maximum torque: 26 Nm
• 16″ alloy wheels
• Front upside-down fork

SRV 125

There are few motorcycles with the characteristics of this SRV 125, the only entry-level model in QJ MOTOR’s range for its Spanish launch with a single-cylinder engine, a 4-valve, liquid-cooled unit, with ABS brakes. The price is yet to be determined, and it will be available in yellow, black and orange.

• 296 cc twin-cylinder engine
• Maximum power: 22.6 kW
• Maximum torque: 26 Nm
• 16″ alloy wheels
• Front upside-down fork

Future plans: models in every segment and electric motorcycles

Among the brand’s plans, one of the most immediate goals is to achieve 100% coverage of Spanish territory, something already scheduled for 2023. The second step, set for 2025, is to have expanded the range with new products, in order to reach every segment of the market. QJ MOTOR will launch everything from small, medium and large-capacity scooters to new 125 cc motorcycles and, in the longer term, electric motorcycles.

By 2027, the brand’s roadmap aims to reach a registration volume of 10,000 units in Spain, capturing a 5% market share. Given the current product, the prices, the enthusiasm with which they have tackled the project and the models still to come, success seems assured.
