CFMoto akuisisi saham mayoritas produsen sasis Moto2, Kalex

Produsen sepeda motor asal Tiongkok, CFMoto, telah membeli 51 persen saham produsen sasis Moto2 asal Jerman, Kalex, yang menempatkan diri mereka sebagai peserta resmi dalam Kejuaraan Dunia Moto2. Para pendiri Kalex tetap memegang 49 persen saham dan peran manajemen. Kesepakatan ini menyusul kegagalan CFMoto dalam upaya mengakuisisi aset MotoGP milik KTM.

CFMoto, produsen sepeda motor asal Tiongkok, mengumumkan pembelian 51 persen saham di Kalex, perusahaan Jerman yang mendominasi produksi sasis Moto2. Akuisisi ini menjadikan CFMoto sebagai pabrikan resmi dalam Kejuaraan Dunia Moto2, dengan ambisi yang diisyaratkan untuk merambah ke tingkatan balap jalan raya yang lebih tinggi. Kalex telah memasok sasis di Moto2 sejak 2010, mengamankan 13 dari 16 gelar juara dunia pembalap serta gelar juara konstruktor setiap tahunnya dari 2013 hingga 2025. Pendiri Kalex, Alex Baumgärtel dan Klaus Hirsekorn, tetap memegang 49 persen saham sisanya dan akan tetap berada dalam manajemen. Dari pihak CFMoto, wakil presiden Zhiyong Chen dan Sebastian Sekira—yang sebelumnya memimpin pengembangan mesin di KTM—akan menduduki posisi eksekutif di Kalex. Langkah ini diambil setelah negosiasi CFMoto yang tidak berhasil untuk mengakuisisi aset MotoGP Factory Racing milik KTM. CFMoto, yang telah meraih kemenangan di kategori Moto3 dan Moto2, sempat berencana untuk masuk ke MotoGP, namun perusahaan asal India, Bajaj, justru membeli merek KTM. Direktur pelaksana Bajaj, Rajiv Bajaj, telah menyatakan rencana untuk memangkas biaya KTM hingga 50 persen, yang berpotensi mencakup penjualan Divisi KTM Factory Racing, sehingga dapat membuka kembali peluang bagi CFMoto di MotoGP.
