China's CFMoto has announced a new collaboration agreement with Italy's Brembo.

'Co-development' with Brembo is the heart of this story. Not just buying parts, but partnering with one of Europe's best from the design stage itself — this is a sign a Chinese manufacturer is trying to graduate from the cheapness stage. Over here, trust in your brakes directly translates to trust in your brand. Not a move to underestimate.

They're serious about the mid-to-large class — makes sense they're pushing into the 675cc bracket.

While Japanese bikes are still using Nissin, China's already co-developing with Brembo.

CFMoto with Brembo as standard is genuinely strong.

Going from 'supplying' to 'co-developing' feels like Brembo's basically lending out its brand.

Does co-development actually preserve Brembo's usual quality standard?
