QJMotor SRK 800 RC: Rumors and preview of the new 125 HP supersport bike
The excitement in the mid-size segment is palpable, and in the global motorcycling landscape, one name is starting to carry as much weight as the "old guard": QJMotor. Following the success of the RR version, persistent rumors are heralding a decisive change of pace. The new QJMotor SRK 800 RC is no longer just paddock gossip; it is the leading candidate to be the star of the Chinese brand's stand at the upcoming EICMA in Milan.
Challenging the mid-size segment: Why the SRK 800 RC is a threat
The mid-size market is currently contested by iconic 600cc bikes and the new parallel twins. QJMotor, bolstered by the experience gained in the Supersport World Championship, seems ready to take the field with a sharp "weapon": a 778cc inline four-cylinder engine, evolved to produce an impressive 125 HP (92 kW).
If the rumors are confirmed, we would be looking at a significant performance leap compared to the 95 HP of the current RR model. The four-cylinder configuration, increasingly rare in a market that favors twin-cylinder engines, promises the "sound" and high-RPM power delivery that only a true sports bike can offer.
Hypothetical technical specifications: The key points
Based on leaks and the proven architecture of the Chinese giant, here is what we should expect from the new RC:
Engine: 778cc, inline 4-cylinder, 16-valve DOHC, liquid-cooled.
Estimated Power: 125 HP at 12,000 RPM.
Chassis: Aluminum double-beam frame, box-section swingarm, fully adjustable Marzocchi suspension (already standard on the current 800 series).
Braking System: Radial Brembo calipers with 320mm discs, cornering ABS.
Standard Equipment: Bidirectional quickshifter, 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), traction control, engine maps, and a TFT dashboard with advanced connectivity.
EICMA 2026: The debut stage
Everything suggests that the official presentation will take place during the next edition of EICMA. This is where QJMotor usually plays its best cards for the European market. The positioning of the SRK 800 RC will be crucial: it will need to bridge the gap between entry-level sports bikes and extreme supersport machines, directly challenging the Honda CBR600RR and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R.
The price factor: The real unknown?
QJMotor's strategy has always been to offer "premium features at a democratic price." While its Japanese rivals often exceed 13,000–14,000 Euros, rumors suggest an aggressive price list for the SRK 800 RC, presumably positioned just below the psychological threshold of 11,000 Euros. A price that, if confirmed, would make this bike the absolute "best buy" of 2027 for those seeking uncompromising performance.
Conclusion
The QJMotor SRK 800 RC represents the maturity of the brand. It is no longer just about low-cost "made in China" products, but an ambitious project that looks straight toward the racetrack. Stay tuned to these pages: as soon as we have the official data from Milan, we will provide you with a full review and the definitive details on this new potential queen of the segment.
