Recent business registration records show that Chongqing Zhang Xue Motorcycle Industry Co., Ltd. has completed a change in its industrial and commercial registration, with Xiamen Sequoia Changheng Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) and Qingdao Gaotou Hongteng Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership), both affiliated with Sequoia China, newly added as shareholders of the company.

In this change, the subscribed capital contribution of founder Zhang Xue was reduced from 48 million yuan to 46.365 million yuan, while Xiamen Sequoia Changheng subscribed 1.635 million yuan, corresponding to the transfer of a 2.5% stake held by Zhang Xue, marking the official completion of the previously disclosed financing transaction.

Business registration information shows that Zhang Xue Motorcycles was established in April 2024, with Zhang Xue as the legal representative and a registered capital of 65.4 million yuan.

The company's business scope covers core operations including road motor vehicle production, motorcycle parts manufacturing, and motorcycle and component research and development, and it holds qualifications for motorcycle whole-vehicle research, development, and production. After the change is completed, the company is jointly held by Zhang Xue and the newly added institutional shareholders.

According to media disclosures, this round represents a new exclusive financing round by Sequoia China in Zhang Xue Motorcycles, with a total investment of approximately 150 million yuan, bringing the company's post-money valuation to 6 billion yuan after the transaction is completed.

This also marks another major capital boost for this emerging domestic motorcycle brand, following its angel round and Series A round.

In just over two years, the company's valuation has climbed rapidly from 100 million yuan at the angel round stage, and its growth rate has attracted widespread attention in the domestic motorcycle sector.

As an emerging force in China's high-performance motorcycle segment, Zhang Xue Motorcycles relies on founder Zhang Xue's deep experience in motorcycle research and development and racing, insists on self-developed engines and whole-vehicle technology, validates product performance through top-tier racing events, has achieved impressive results in international motorcycle competitions, and has rapidly built brand awareness.

In terms of funding, this round of financing will continue to be invested in whole-vehicle and engine research and development, racing technology iteration, production capacity construction, and global market expansion.

After Sequoia China's participation, both parties plan to collaborate deeply in areas such as corporate governance, talent system development, supply chain resource integration, and overseas market expansion.

Sequoia China will contribute industrial and globalization resources to help Zhang Xue Motorcycles improve its corporate governance structure and accelerate the industrialization of technological achievements.

The domestic mid- to large-displacement motorcycle segment has continued to heat up in recent years, with consumption upgrades driving the rise of domestic high-performance motorcycle brands.

However, competition in the sector is intensifying, and technological research and development, supply chain management, and brand building all require sustained large-scale investment.

Sequoia China's completion of the equity delivery this time is an important bet by the primary market on China's high-performance motorcycle segment.

Whether Zhang Xue Motorcycles can rely on capital support to continuously break through technical barriers and build a globally competitive domestic motorcycle brand remains to be tested by the market.
