ZXMoto has revealed the production 820X ADV, a three-cylinder adventure motorcycle that trades the stacked headlights of last year’s EICMA concept for a wider fairing and side-by-side lamps. The Chinese brand is still building its European footprint, but this machine also appears aimed at riders who want a large adventure bike without the usual price tag.
Type-approval details reported by Visordown point to an 818cc inline-three producing about 117 horsepower, along with electronic suspension, adaptive cruise control, an E-clutch, and front and rear cameras. The report places the Chinese price near €6,100, although taxes, shipping, and local equipment would change the final figure.
A New Face for the 820X
The production bike uses a 19-inch front wheel with 120/70 rubber and a 17-inch rear wearing a 170/60 tire. Its 1,575mm wheelbase matches the Honda Africa Twin, while the approval documents list a 218kg weight before the aluminum panniers and top case are fitted.
Adding the cases raises the listed weight to 235kg, but the engine and chassis figures remain unchanged. Australian Motorcycle News also reports an 85kW output and a claimed 220km/h top speed, figures that put the 820X closer to the performance end of the adventure category than its low projected price suggests.
Where It Could Fit
ZXMoto is expected to show the bike officially at China’s CIMA event before a wider presentation at EICMA in November. A 2027 sales launch would give the company time to establish support in markets where buyers may compare the 820X with established middleweight options and with machines such as the BMW R 1300 GS Adventure.
The headline numbers are clear, but the questions are practical: how the electronics work in production trim, what warranty coverage looks like, and whether the promised price survives import costs. Those details will matter as much as the engine once the 820X reaches dealers.
