About QJmotor

Country of Origin: China
Founder: Qianjiang Motorcycle (Benelli parent)
Best Known For: Mid-displacement motorcycles with growing global presence

Company History

QJmotor leverages Qianjiang’s scale and Benelli’s design reach to produce feature-rich 250–800 cc bikes—TFT dashboards, ABS, ride-by-wire—at compelling prices. Castings and finish quality have improved rapidly, closing perceived gaps with Japanese rivals. As dealer networks expand in Europe and Asia, QJmotor models offer new riders modern tech without premium pricing. Historically, QJmotor is emblematic of China’s move from copycat to competitor: original platforms, credible components, and maturing aftersales.
