CFMoto has announced a new relationship with KTM that will see the two organisations work together to offer the local Chinese motorcycle market a range of KTM bikes under the trademark KTMR2R.
Under the terms of the collaboration CFMOTO will be responsible for the distribution of KTM motorcycles in China and will assemble selected models from imported knockdown kits.
The joint announcement was made at the China International Motorcycle Trade Exhibition (CIMA) where KTMR2R showcased a broad range of on and off-road KTM motorcycles to the Chinese public.
Speaking at the announcement, KTM CSO Mr. Trunkenpolz said the move into China was a logical step as the organisation executed its globalisation strategy.
“The rapid development of the Chinese economy is giving rise to a new type of Chinese customer, one who demands product differentiation,” he said. KTM has the product to fill this gap in the market and the perfect partner in CFMOTO to see the process through for the long-term.”
