CFMOTO V4 SR-RR: Specs, Power, Price and Release Date

Quick answer: The CFMOTO V4 SR-RR is a superbike with a 997cc 90-degree V4 making over 210 hp, a claimed dry weight of about 180 kg and independently controlled winglets. A pre-production prototype reached 315.82 km/h (196.2 mph) on June 15, 2026. Sales are expected from 2027, but CFMOTO hasn’t announced a price or on-sale date.

CFMOTO built its reputation on affordable middleweights. The V4 SR-RR is a different kind of bike: an in-house V4 superbike with premium parts, aimed at a class long dominated by European and Japanese brands. For the bigger picture, see how Chinese motorcycles are changing the entire motorcycle industry.

Here’s what’s confirmed, what’s still a claim, and what’s practical if you ride a sportbike. Production coverage often writes the name as “V4SR-RR”. It’s the same bike.

It’s CFMOTO’s first liter-class superbike, and it has been shown in stages. The brand revealed its in-house V4 engine at EICMA 2024 and a running prototype at EICMA 2025. The production version was unveiled at EICMA 2026 in Milan, alongside a track-focused version called the Carbon Black.

Production figures can still change. The prototype’s rev limit, for example, was quoted 500 rpm lower than the figure now being given. For where 210 hp sits today, see our ranking of the most powerful motorcycles of 2026.

A few details separate this V4 from a typical big-bore engine:

• Counter-rotating crank. It offsets the gyroscopic forces of the rest of the engine, which helps the bike change direction. Ducati’s Panigale V4 uses the same idea.
• Titanium con-rods. Lighter internals let an engine rev more freely.
• Titanium exhaust. It saves weight over steel. The Carbon Black appears to run a fully free-flowing system.

CFMOTO’s claimed 180 kg is a dry weight, which excludes fuel and fluids. The prototype was quoted at under 200 kg curb weight, and CFMOTO hasn’t published a production wet weight. Dry-weight figures between brands aren’t directly comparable, so wait for independent numbers before comparing it with rivals.

Many modern superbikes have fixed winglets. The V4 SR-RR’s can change angle, and the two sides move independently. CFMOTO says this can add about 20% more front downforce just before braking from 160 km/h (about 100 mph), compared with fixed winglets, and asymmetric settings could help the bike tip into a corner.

Whether this is a real advantage or a showpiece is still open. The effect should matter most at track speeds and be small on public roads.

The Carbon Black appears to carry bigger aero elements, brake-cooling ducts and a dry clutch. Full specifications for that version haven’t been released.

On June 15, 2026, a pre-pre-production prototype reached 315.82 km/h (196.2 mph) at Shangrao Automotive Proving Ground in China. CFMOTO says the run was GPS-verified and notarised, and that the bike wasn’t a race special or specially modified. It was a closed-course run, so it doesn’t promise what a customer bike will do on the road.

CFMOTO hasn’t officially confirmed a WorldSBK campaign. Reports from SpeedWeek and Corse di Moto point to wildcard appearances from 2027 rather than a full season. Aspar-team riders, including David Alonso, tested the bike in September 2026. Treat racing as the reported direction, not a guaranteed entry.

Price: Nothing official. Any figure you see now is speculation. CFMOTO has a history of pricing below established rivals, but this bike’s premium components make that harder to predict.

Release: Expected in 2027, with no firm date. Corse di Moto reports the road version arriving in Europe in early 2027. Dealer availability will likely differ by country.

• The Carbon Black’s full specification
• Pricing in any market
• Exact on-sale dates
• A confirmed racing program

Superbikes are built for speed, and luggage isn’t part of the design. Still, plenty of riders use theirs for day rides, commutes and the occasional weekend away. The usual solutions are small and sit low. Our street and sportbike luggage page puts every option in one place, and our guide to luggage bags for street and sport bikes explains the differences.

Tail bags. These strap over the passenger seat area. Our street/sportbike tail bags are made from Cordura and come in small and extra-large sizes. The 15L Momentum small tail bag is expandable and includes mounting straps, and its listing says it fits street and sport bikes. Every tail section is different, so check the strap points on your bike before ordering. Our tail bag size, fit and mounting guide shows how.

Tank bags. These keep your phone, gloves and wallet within reach. Our street/sportbike tank bags are magnetic, and magnets only grip a steel tank, so check what yours is made of. Our guide to the best motorcycle tank bags walks through the options, and what to carry in a tank bag helps with packing.

A few packing rules apply to any sportbike:

• Keep heavy items low and close to the center of the bike.
• Keep bags clear of the tail light, exhaust and moving parts.
• Check where straps touch bodywork before you ride.

Because the V4 SR-RR isn’t on sale yet, no accessory fitment is confirmed. Measure before you buy.

It’s worth watching if you want a new V4 superbike with an unusual spec sheet and you’re comfortable buying from a first-time liter-class builder. If you’re comparing litre-class sportbikes more broadly, our crotch rocket guide covers types, prices and the fastest models.

Don’t wait if you need a bike this season. There’s no price, no firm date and no independent road tests yet.
