CFMOTO Unveils the V4 SR-RR Prototype | It has active aero!

CFMOTO is taking its commitment to innovation and performance to new heights with the introduction of the V4 SR-RR prototype. Following a year of significant progress in MotoGP, where the Aspar Racing Team has been turning heads, and Maximo Quiles claimed the prestigious Moto3 Rookie of the Year title, CFMOTO’s focus is firmly set on the future. Their latest prototype, the V4 SR-RR, is a bold statement of where they are headed and what riders can expect from this brand in the coming years.

The V4 SR-RR slots at the very top of CFMOTO’s SR family, merging cutting-edge design with years of research and development. It’s not just a motorcycle; it’s a manifesto of the brand’s relentless drive for excellence. Every inch of the V4 SR-RR has been meticulously crafted to deliver a perfect balance of performance, aesthetics, and rider comfort. With mounting test bench results continuing to fine-tune the bike, CFMOTO has been able to optimise nearly every aspect — reducing weight, improving aerodynamics, and enhancing performance without compromising on the bike's striking visual appeal.

Engine

At the heart of the V4 SR-RR lies a next-generation 90° V4 engine with a displacement of 997cc. This mill makes over 205bhp. With a weight of just under 200kg, the V4 SR-RR achieves a weight-to-power ratio of 0.86 — putting it on par with the very best in the industry. What stands out about this engine is its ability to deliver a broad, linear, and progressive power curve. The brand says that riders will find that throttle response is immediate and predictable, allowing them to explore the bike's full potential in all riding conditions. 

Technology

The V4 SR-RR isn’t just about power; it’s packed with advanced technology to ensure that performance is easily accessible and safe. CFMOTO has equipped the bike with semi-active electronic suspension, providing a smooth ride and excellent handling across a variety of conditions. And don't you miss you those big wings at the front which are active! Yes! Paired with an Akrapovic exhaust system, the bike’s sporty visual aesthetics are matched by a thrilling exhaust note. It does sound yummy, just go to YouTube and have a listen! The motorcycle also features the latest in electronic systems, offering maximum control over power delivery, stability, and safety.

Beyond its immediate performance, the V4 SR-RR is an important platform for CFMOTO’s future developments. The prototype serves as the foundation for upcoming models, which will continue to build on the V4 SR-RR’s impressive combination of power, weight, and technology.
