Morbidelli is a very new motorcycle manufacturer with an Italian-sounding name. And while the company has Italian roots, as it was formerly known as Moto Bolognia Passione, it’s by no means on the same level as the likes of Ducati and Aprilia.
And that’s because it’s under the corporate umbrella of the Chinese motorcycle giant Qianjiang, which is also the parent company to brands you may be familiar with, names like QJ Motor, Benelli, and Keeway, among others.
The QJ group has been known to follow industry trends to a tee, rolling out new models that seem to mirror exactly what’s hot in the industry. And indeed, the Morbidelli brand is no exception, as it unveiled what can only be described as a direct rival to the likes of the CFMoto Ibex 450 and Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. It’s called the T502X, and it just might be a very big deal.
