CFMOTO and Brembo enter into a long-term strategic partnership to enhance motorcycle performance and safety

High-quality braking performance and expertise are set to play a greater role in CFMOTO’s future development following a new long-term strategic partnership with Brembo. The collaboration between CFMOTO, a leading company in the global powersports industry, and Brembo, a global leader in braking technology based in Italy, is more than just a simple supply agreement: CFMOTO and Brembo will work together on the joint development of braking solutions for future CFMOTO motorbikes in the mid- to large-capacity segment. In addition, the collaboration will be expanded to cover technological innovation, racing, brand development and talent development. Both groups aim to deliver increasingly advanced products offering higher performance, greater control and greater riding confidence.

The talks were successfully concluded this week in Hangzhou (China), and the deal marks a promising international alliance with a truly global reach. Both CFMOTO and Brembo focus on high-quality technology, thoughtful design, rigorous quality control and reliable performance. Both companies are passionate about the testing ground of elite sport: CFMOTO has been winning titles and Grands Prix in the Moto3 and Moto2 categories of the MotoGP, whilst Brembo supplies bespoke solutions and technologies to the entire MotoGP grid.

As part of the new strategic partnership, CFMOTO and Brembo will collaborate on the design and performance development of braking systems from the early stages of vehicle R&D. By integrating, calibrating and validating systems earlier in the development process, braking systems can be better tailored to different platform requirements and real-world scenarios, leading to a better balance between safety, control and performance. The jointly developed solutions will also support the wider application of racing-derived braking technologies for future CFMOTO large-capacity motorcycles.

CFMOTO’s quest for even higher standards in braking technology means that the partnership will support ongoing progress in motorcycle safety and offer riders worldwide more reliable braking performance, greater control and increased confidence on the road. On the track, the shared commitment to results and technical feedback will further strengthen CFMOTO’s motorsport programme. With a joint focus on competition at the highest level of racing, the two companies will also collaborate on motorsport activities and brand experiences. Brembo will become a strategic partner of the CFMOTO Talent Project and jointly supports the development of the next generation of Chinese racing talent.

With more than 50 years’ involvement in the World Championship for two- and four-wheelers, Brembo has cemented its position as the technological benchmark in motor sport.

"Entering into a long-term strategic partnership with Brembo will further strengthen CFMOTO’s competitive position and brand presence in global markets," said Chen Zhiyong, Vice President of CFMOTO. "Brembo is recognised as a global benchmark in braking technology, with extensive technical expertise and practical experience gained in top-tier championships such as MotoGP. We look forward to working together to deliver safer, world-class riding experiences to CFMOTO users around the world."

"Our partnership with CFMOTO is an important step in strengthening Brembo’s presence in the global motorbike market and in supporting our mission as a solutions provider," said Andrea Paganessi, Motorcycle GBU Chief Officer at Brembo N.V. "Through our technical expertise and high-quality solutions, we aim to be a trusted long-term partner for CFMOTO and contribute to the evolution of premium motorcycle standards."

This agreement marks another significant milestone in CFMOTO’s long-term strategy to collaborate with leading global technology partners in the development of its future product range. It also marks a further step in CFMOTO’s evolution: from expanding its global brand presence to building long-term global brand strength.
