Without a doubt, we are faced with a new player. But with previous experience. Although ZXJC It is a young company, its creator is not no rookie. Zhang xue He was one of the architects of Koveone of the most daring Chinese brands of recent years, which surprised the world with its participation in the Dakar and with the presentation of four -cylinder models with sports aspirations.
After separating from Kove, Xue a new stage has begun with ZXJCmaintaining his philosophy. That is, create high performance motorcycles, with a lot of engineering and own design.
The first creation of ZXJC It was the 500RR That, as we tell you at the time, it arrived at the end of last year as a medium -displacement sportsman 83 hp at 13,500 rpm and reaches a maximum speed of 235 km/h.
The 500RR It was developed with clear inspiration in the Japanese sportsmen of the 90s, but with a modern touch. In fact, it has served as a rolling laboratory to refine technologies that, now, move to the most ambitious project until the moment of this new brand. Yes, we talk about our protagonist, the brand new 820rr.
ZXJC 820RR: A tricyclindrica that points to Europe and Japan
The key name of development, “Project 299”, It is not free. As you can imagine, it makes direct reference to the maximum speed electronically limited that many high -end superbikes share under the famous“ gentlemen’s pact ”between European and Japanese manufacturers. This unwritten agreement limits the speed to 299 km/h to avoid an absurd race to see who made the motorcycle of faster street. And as we are telling you, ZXJC wants to play in that same league.
The ZXJC 820RR It is a sportsman propelled by a new three -cylinder in line of 819 CC, designed from scratch by the brand itself and without resorting to copies of existing mechanics. This mechanic delivery 150 hp at 13,000 rpm, with a rotation regime that extends until 15,250 rpm and with an 85 nm motor torque to 10,500 rpm. Figures that place it very close to models such as MV Agusta F3 800its most direct rival in architecture and benefits. And some more detail that we will tell you a little later.
The cycle part of the 820rr It also shows the effort of ZXJC for uploading the ribbon. The frame is light aluminum, contributing to a dry weight of only 168 kg and promises great curve agility. The suspension is completely adjustable, with a high -end inverted fork and a multirregulable rear shock. The brakes, in the absence of official confirmation, are expected to have radial tweezers of four pistons signed by Brembo or an equivalent brand as J.Juan (As we all know, now owned by Brembo).
As for the technological section, the 820rr It will have a six -axis IMU switchboard, which will allow a precise management of the ABS in curve, the traction control, the antiwheelie, different driving modes and perhaps even a serial quickshifter. A color TFT marker with integrated connectivity, navigation and telemetry is also expected.
Visually, the 820rr keep a clear aesthetic relationship with the 500RR. With a sharp body, double LED front lighthouse, high hill and a clearly sports driving position. A first functional prototype has already been confirmed and the patents of the new engine have been registered, which do not replicate any current design, although curiously they adopt a chain distribution located on the left side of the engine, as is the case with the MV Agusta F3.
The 820rr It will be the first of a complete motorcycle family based on the 819 CC tricycilindrical engine. Zhang xue He has publicly announced the development of a sports trail, a high performance NAKED, as well as a 450 cc monocylindrical MX and a 650 cc custom V-TWIN.
Of course, the ambitions of ZXJC They are not limited to the Chinese market. In the short term, the firm is expected to enter Southeast Asia, and later in Europe more the United States. In fact, we believe that the market is ready to accept Chinese brands that are committed to quality and performance, not just for the price.
Far from being another promise, ZXJC He is demonstrating his potential. The 820rr Not only wants to be the fastest Chinese Superbike, but also aims to break barriers in terms of quality and technology perception. If it meets what is promised, this trichylinder could become the model that marks a before and after in the Chinese motorcycling industry.
Finally, his arrival is scheduled for the last quarter of 2025, first in China, and later in international markets. Are we facing the next revolution of sports motorcycling? Very soon we will know.
