ZXMOTO 500RR Now in PH: Specs, ₱390K Price, ₱50K to Reserve

ZXMOTO’s 500RR has landed in the Philippines through Access Plus, with a sticker price of ₱390,000 and a ₱50,000 reservation fee to lock in a unit.

It’s the entry point into a brand most local riders only started paying attention to last March, when its bigger 820RR won its first World Supersport race in Portugal.

What is the ZXMOTO 500RR?

ZXMOTO is a two-year-old Chinese manufacturer founded in April 2024 by Zhang Xue, the same person who started KOVE Moto. The 500RR was the company’s first model, introduced at CIMAMotor in Chongqing in September 2024 before getting its international unveiling at EICMA 2025 in Milan last November.

It’s positioned as a direct rival to the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR — same inline-four formula, lower price, lighter weight.

ZXMOTO 500RR specs

For reference, the 500RR is roughly 21 kg lighter than the Ninja ZX-4RR while putting out comparable peak power.

Five colorways are offered locally: yellow, black, grey, white, and red.

China price vs Philippine SRP

In China, the ZX500RR retails for 33,680 yuan — about ₱265,000 or ~$4,650, based on the official preorder prices reported by China Daily.

The Philippine SRP of ₱390,000 works out to roughly a ₱125,000 difference once you account for import duties, freight, and dealer overhead, a markup of around 47%, which is in the ballpark for big-bike imports here.

Why ZXMOTO is suddenly on everyone’s radar

The brand became newsworthy in late March 2026 when French rider Valentin Debise won both World Supersport races at Portimão, Portugal aboard the bigger 820RR-RS, the first WorldSSP win for any Chinese manufacturer, and only the third time in history a brand won a WSBK-paddock race within its first four starts.

The 500RR doesn’t share the 820RR’s three-cylinder engine, but it shares the same factory, the same founder, and the same R&D pipeline that produced the race-winning bike.

How to reserve

Reservations are open at Access Plus in 102 P. Tuazon Blvd, Cubao, Quezon City, with branches in Iloilo (PH63+2MR, Mandurriao) and Pampanga (M.A. Roxas Highway, Clark Freeport Zone).

You can also reserve via landline 7954-5752, Edmund Corpuz at +63 928 850 1229, or Sannelyn at +63 917 707 8428.

The 500RR is one of the cheapest ways to get into an inline-four supersport in the country right now — but it’s also from a brand that didn’t exist three years ago.

Would you trust a ₱390,000 Chinese inline-four over a known-quantity Japanese bike at a similar price? Or does the WorldSSP pedigree change the math for you? Let us know in the comments.
