Chongqing Zongshen, founded in 1992, is one of China's leading motorcycle manufacturers. It has a long history with Suzuki, having raced in the Endurance World Championship and coming second in 2003, as well as competing in the Dakar in 2017. It also has an industrial collaboration with Piaggio and Harley-Davidson, among others.
Zongshen's Cyclone brand aims to provide high-quality models for both the domestic and foreign markets. In fact, some of these models were created with the intention of being exported to Western markets, mainly Europe. For example, the RX6 adventure bike, powered by a Norton engine, was launched last year and is expected to arrive in Europe soon. The brand also unveiled the RA9 concept, which is based on the Aprilia Shiver, although no specifics about the bike's introduction have been divulged.
