Aspar: Daniel Holgado and Maximo Quiles tested the new CF Moto V4 SR-RR

Moto2 star Daniel Holgado is set to move up to the MotoGP World Championship next year. He will ride a Ducati for Team Gresini Racing alongside Joan Mir. Moto3 rider Maximo Quiles is also set to move up a class in 2027. The Spaniard, who currently leads the overall standings in the lowest category by a wide margin, will move up to the Moto2 World Championship within the Aspar team.

The pair were recently accorded a special honour: they were given the chance to ride a prototype of CF Moto’s 1000cc superbike, which is due to be launched shortly. The test was carried out by the Chinese manufacturer and the Aspar team. Jorge Martinez’s team recently posted a short video on social media showing Holgado and Quiles’ test rides. The motorbike was fitted with camouflage livery to conceal details.

CF Moto: Guest appearances in the World Superbike Championship

CF Moto has been preparing to enter the World Superbike Championship for several years. In 2024, a 1,000cc V4 engine was unveiled at the EICMA motorbike show, followed in 2025 by the presentation of a road-ready prototype bearing the model designation V4 SR-RR. The motorbike is set to be launched in 2027. It is also intended to be used for guest appearances in the production-based World Championship.

At the heart of the 180 kg bike lies a V4 engine. The 997 ccm power unit, with a cylinder angle of 90 degrees, is said to deliver a peak power output of 210 PS. Extensive test rides are currently being carried out with the motorbike. As recently as this summer, the CF Moto V4 SR-RR reached 315.82 km/h during a high-speed test – a top speed that puts it on a par with its European and Japanese rivals.
