QJMotor at EICMA: Rino 900 goes into production, OAO MAX goes electric

• Rino 900: three-cylinder with 119.6 hp (88 kW) and 93 Nm, Brembo brakes and Marzocchi fork
• OAO MAX: electric motorcycle with 14 kW peak output, 120 km/h and a range of up to 170 km
• Prices and delivery dates for Germany have not been announced yet

Chinese manufacturer QJMotor is bringing a whole range of new motorcycles to EICMA 2026 in Milan (3 to 8 November). However, the brand lists only two vehicles as official novelties: the OAO MAX electric motorcycle and the SFU 1000 R UTV, an off-road vehicle with a cargo bed. QJMotor had already announced the other new motorcycles in Italy a few days before the show. They range from a 15 hp entry-level model to a three-cylinder with almost 120 hp, making them part of the new motorcycles at EICMA 2026.

Which motorcycles is QJMotor showing at EICMA 2026?

New on the stand in Hall 9 are the Rino 900, the OAO MAX, the SRT 800 RX and the two 125s, the SRK 125 J and SRK 125 RS. They are joined by the SRK 1000 RR supersport bike, designed by Adrian Morton, which is explicitly not yet being officially presented.

Familiar model lines fill the rest of the stand: the sporty SRK models, the touring and adventure bikes of the SRT family and the cruisers of the SRV range. QJMotor is also showing scooters, quads and off-road vehicles, but they play no role in this overview.

What does the production Rino 900 deliver?

The Rino 900’s three-cylinder engine produces 119.6 hp (88 kW) at 10,000 rpm and 93 Nm (68.6 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm. That makes it the most powerful of QJMotor’s new models at this show.

At EICMA 2025, the Rino 900 was still on the stand as a prototype; now the finished version follows. In QJMotor’s international catalogue it is also listed as the SRT 900 X3 and classified as an adventure model. The engine has 900 cc, twelve valves and liquid cooling. It also serves as a stressed member of the frame, making the chassis stiffer. The swingarm and subframe are made of aluminium to save weight. According to the catalogue, the Rino 900 weighs 220 kg (485 lbs) ready to ride, and the tank holds 20 litres.

Up front there is an upside-down fork from Marzocchi, an inverted fork in which the thicker tubes sit at the top in the triple clamp. The wheels measure 19 inches at the front and 17 inches at the rear, and ground clearance is 185 mm. Brembo supplies the braking system with twin front discs and radially mounted calipers. Equipment includes a colour TFT display, full LED lighting, cruise control, several riding modes and smartphone connectivity. QJMotor quotes the seat height as 815 or 830 mm.

How far can the electric QJMotor OAO MAX go?

On a single battery charge, the OAO MAX is said to cover up to 170 km. The figure comes from a mixed riding cycle; in everyday use the range may vary depending on riding style.

Visually, the OAO MAX looks like a fully faired sports bike, but it is intended primarily for the city. It is a further development of the OAO Pro, which QJMotor presented in 2023, and is considered a 2027 model. The centrally mounted electric motor delivers a continuous 7 kW (9.5 hp) and up to 14 kW (19 hp) for short bursts. It takes less than 3 seconds to go from 0 to 50 km/h, and top speed is 120 km/h. The OAO MAX is said to handle gradients of up to 27 degrees. It is expected to fall into the 125 cc class. Two riding modes are available, Normal and Sport.

Battery and charging

The lithium-ion battery runs at 72 volts and 90 amp-hours and weighs 42 kg (93 lbs) on its own. The OAO MAX can also be charged at electric car charging stations, as it is compatible with the European charging infrastructure. QJMotor gives two figures for charging time: charging to 80 percent should take 3 hours, while the catalogue quotes 1 hour for 30 to 80 percent. Braking energy is fed back into the battery during deceleration.

Chassis and equipment

The OAO MAX rolls on 17-inch wheels with 100/80 tyres at the front and 130/70 at the rear, both semi-slicks with little tread. Both wheels are braked hydraulically by discs, and ABS and traction control are on board. The motorcycle weighs 167 kg (368 lbs) ready to ride, and the seat height is 780 mm. The electrics are protected against water spray to IP55. Equipment includes a forward-facing dashcam, a 4G connection and a 5.5-inch display.

What sets the SRT 800 RX apart from the other SRT 800 models?

The SRT 800 RX is the most off-road capable variant of the SRT 800 family. It differs from the SRT 800 and SRT 800 X with its 21- and 18-inch spoked wheels and longer suspension travel.

The 799 cc parallel twin with eight valves produces 95.2 hp (70 kW) at 8,500 rpm and 87 Nm (64.2 lb-ft) at 6,750 rpm and meets the Euro 5+ emissions standard. For A2 licence holders, the catalogue lists a restricted version with 47.6 hp (35 kW) and 60 Nm (44.3 lb-ft). The six-speed gearbox has an anti-hopping clutch, which prevents the rear wheel from chattering when downshifting, and a quickshifter for clutchless gear changes. Three riding modes (Standard, Rain and Sport) and switchable traction control adjust the throttle response.

The Marzocchi upside-down fork has 43 mm stanchions and 200 mm of travel, while the rear shock offers 190 mm. Both are adjustable for preload and rebound. The 90/90-21 and 150/70-18 tyres are tubeless, and ground clearance is 210 mm. Braking at the front is handled by a 320 mm disc with a radial four-piston Brembo caliper, and the ABS has a road and an off-road mode. With a seat height of 830 mm and a 21-litre tank, the SRT 800 RX tips the scales at 209 kg (461 lbs) ready to ride.

For longer tours, the equipment is extensive: keyless start, cruise control, heated grips and seat, tyre pressure monitoring, hand guards and an engine guard are all standard. The 5-inch colour display is mounted vertically and also shows navigation instructions. Accessories include three cases, auxiliary lights and crash bars.

Which 125s is QJMotor bringing for the A1 licence?

For beginners with an A1 licence, there is the SRK 125 J naked bike and the fully faired SRK 125 RS. Both use the same technology and deliver 15 hp (11 kW), the maximum output permitted in this class.

The liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox, and traction control is standard on both. The SRK 125 J takes its styling cues from the larger SRK naked bikes. It has a 5-inch TFT display, LED lighting and USB-C ports, and the seat height is 785 mm. The weight figures differ: for Italy, QJMotor quotes 141 kg (311 lbs), while the international catalogue lists 130 kg (287 lbs) ready to ride.

The SRK 125 RS gets a fairing with integrated winglets, small wings on the sides like those known from racing. Its engine delivers 12.1 Nm (8.9 lb-ft) of torque. An upside-down fork, a central shock and 17-inch wheels make up the chassis, and braking is handled with ABS via 260 mm discs at the front and 240 mm at the rear. At 780 mm, the seat is slightly lower than on the naked version, and it weighs 141 kg (311 lbs) ready to ride.

Why is QJMotor only displaying the SRK 1000 RR?

The SRK 1000 RR is on the stand but is explicitly not being officially presented. QJMotor is therefore not giving any technical data, price or launch date.

What is certain is that Adrian Morton designed the supersport bike. He previously worked as a designer at MV Agusta and, before that, designed the Benelli Tornado, among others. He was also behind the design of the SRK 1000 RC Ten 78 and the SRK 921 RR. The SRK 1000 RR name is not new: back in 2023, a four-cylinder prototype with MV Agusta technology appeared under this designation. The project later gave rise to several models with 921 and 1,078 cc. Whether the SRK 1000 RR now on display is based on that prototype or is a new motorcycle cannot be determined from the information available so far.

How are racing and production models connected at QJMotor?

According to QJMotor, the company uses its racing experience to develop its road models. Data from the track is said to feed into areas such as engine mapping, chassis, brakes and cooling.

In the 2026 Moto2 season, QJMotor rider Iván Ortolá took two wins, a second and a third place. In the World Superbike Championship, QJMotor won the SSP Challenge classification of the Supersport class at the round in Hungary. The manufacturer plans to gradually offer electronics such as traction control, cornering ABS, ride-by-wire and the AMT automated manual transmission on more models. The company has been part of the Geely Group since 2016 and has owned the Italian brand Benelli since 2005.

When will the new QJMotor models arrive and what will they cost?

QJMotor has not yet announced prices or delivery dates for the new motorcycles. The manufacturer intends to announce colours, variants and dates when each model goes on sale.

For the OAO MAX, the 2027 model year at least gives a rough time frame. Which of the new models will be offered in Germany is still open.
