Chinese manufacturers are making a serious push into multi-cylinder motorcycles. QJMotor's inline-four superbike, the SRK 921 RR, comes equipped with Brembo Stylema brakes, Marzocchi suspension, and winglets, while Zontes has launched a 699cc inline-triple. By packing top-shelf components onto budget-friendly price tags, these brands are moving beyond their low-cost image.

From a market perspective, this is a clear tectonic shift. Loading top-tier European equipment like Brembo and Marzocchi at a shockingly low price. The moves by QJMotor and Zontes show that the view of them as merely cheap brands no longer holds. I feel the world's center shifting.

Thought they'd go electric over multi-cylinder, but China's clearly hedging both bets.

China's jumped up out of the budget bracket fast. Next thing you know, multi-cylinder.

Zontes's 699 inline-triple is clearly aimed right at Triumph's 765.

Slap on Brembo brakes and price it cheap, and Japanese makers are going to have a rough time.

Loading up the equipment is one thing, but how's the durability on Chinese bikes? Still not fully convinced.

That's an outdated image — QJMotor is under Benelli's umbrella now and genuinely builds solid bikes.

QJ's inline-four with Brembo Stylema calipers and winglets, at 921cc — top-tier equipment.
