History

CFMOTO was established in 1989 by Lai Guoqiang. [4] In 2013, it began to be involved in the construction of high-end yachts. [5]

In 2011, CFMOTO and KTM entered into a commercial partnership. In 2017, the two companies started a joint venture [6] [7] that allows the production and sale of KTM motorcycles in China under the name of "KTMR2R". [8] CFMOTO also assembles the small displacement models on behalf of KTM in its Chinese factories, as well as producing the larger displacement KTM engines.

Since 2017, CFMOTO has been listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange as Chunfeng Power with the code 603129.

At the end of 2020, CFMOTO announced a new sub-brand of electric motorcycles, a Zeeho.

[13] The riders chosen for the debut season were Spaniards Xavier Artigas and Carlos Tatay. [14] [15] At the Indonesian Grand Prix, Tatay started on pole position and finished in third place, the CFMOTO team's first podium. [16]

CFMOTO and Aspar Team join forces in 2024 to fight for the Moto2 and Moto3 titles. In 2023 CFMOTO achieved two more podiums at the Americas Grand Prix and the Australian Grand Prix. In 2024, the goal is even more ambitious: to fight for victories and podiums with the help of Jake Dixon and Izan Guevara, in Moto2, and David Alonso and Joel Esteban, in Moto3. [17] At the Qatar Grand Prix, David Alonso and the CFMOTO Aspar Team have made history with the first victory in the World Championship for a Chinese manufacturer. [18]

At the end of 2024 season, CFMOTO Aspar Team completes the triple crown. David Alonso was crowned world champion in JapaneseGP. CFMOTO became the first Chinese manufacturer to win the constructors' title in the World Championship. In addition, the CFMOTO Aspar Team has also won the teams' championship with two races to go.
