Jiangmen Sonlink Motorcycle Co.

What Jiangmen Sonlink Motorcycle Co. does

Jiangmen Sonlink Motorcycle Co. is a privately held Chinese motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1999 as Guangzhou Sonlink Industry Co., Ltd. The company relocated its headquarters and primary operations from Guangzhou to Jiangmen in May 2020, where it occupies a 120,000 square-meter production facility and employs more than 600 staff. Its product range spans two- and three-wheeled vehicles including motorcycles, tricycles, scooters, cubs, and engines in the 100cc to 250cc displacement range.

The company's technical portfolio centers on internal combustion engine platforms across multiple engine families (CG, CB, CBF, TGF, CGF, NT, CE, XF), with balance shaft technology cited as a notable engineering feature. Products are configured for both domestic distribution and export, using CKD (Completely Knocked Down) and SKD (Semi-Knocked Down) packaging formats that support local assembly in destination markets. Recent platform activity includes the SL200GY-3 Enduro (December 2024), the SL150-F5 (January 2025), and the SONLINK T5 (June 2025), indicating ongoing refresh activity within the small-displacement motorcycle segment.

The business model is B2B export-oriented, with motorcycles and components sold to international distributors rather than directly to end consumers. The customer base is skewed toward emerging markets, with East Africa and the "Pikipiki" commuter motorcycle segment identified as a primary commercial focus. The company maintains a multilingual digital presence in English, Spanish, French, and Arabic, and operates an online business inquiry channel ([email protected]), reflecting a distributor-acquisition go-to-market strategy. No public revenue, funding, or named enterprise customer disclosures are available.
