Chinese manufacturer ZXMOTO made its international debut at the Lommel round of MXGP and is weighing a full-time entry as early as 2027 or 2028. The brand was founded by Zhang Zue, formerly CEO of Kove, and plans an MX2 tryout at September's Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.
A new manufacturer rarely delivers results in MXGP right out of the gate, corner entry to exit. But this is a brand founded by Kove's former CEO, so that changes the calculus. Lommel is just the prologue, the real test comes with the MX2 tryout at September's Chinese GP. Having watched plenty of debuts like this, I'm genuinely intrigued.

I always end up rooting for the new brands entering the scene.
The MX2 tryout is in September, looking forward to how it goes.
They actually got WorldSSBK results? Hard to believe at first glance.
Fast development cycles are a real strength for Chinese brands.
So now Chinese manufacturers are reaching MXGP too.
Founded by Kove's ex-CEO, so this looks like a serious effort.
