CFMoto: what it holds, with stakes and dates
Facts checked Chinese holding 100%
CFMoto is Chinese. Zhejiang CFMOTO Power of Hangzhou is listed in Shanghai and makes motorcycles, ATVs and side-by-sides. It has built KTM's LC8c parallel-twin models in Hangzhou for about a decade, took a 2.0% stake in KTM's listed Austrian parent in July 2023, and has had KTM distribute its own bikes in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and Britain since January 2023 -- so the relationship runs both ways, but CFMoto is Chinese-owned.
