Hengbo, a listed company in Taizhou, East China's Zhejiang province, provided key technical support for a Chinese motorcycle brand's recent success in the Superbike World Championship, as ZXMOTO secured consecutive wins in Portimao, Portugal.

A company representative said their customized high-performance air filter system for the team's 820RR-RS motorcycle uses self-developed filter materials designed to balance high filtration efficiency, low resistance, and durability, helping ensure stable engine performance under extreme racing conditions.

The company specializes in air intake systems for internal combustion engines, but has also contributed to industry standards for motorcycle air filters, building a technical advantage through long-term research and development.

Hengbo, which holds about 40 percent of the domestic market for motorcycle air filters, said the application in international racing serves as a test of product performance and supports its move into the high-end manufacturing segment.

The company is expanding its presence in international markets and plans to continue focusing on technological innovation to strengthen its competitiveness in both domestic and overseas sectors.
