As it looks ahead to its fourth season of competition, the FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship (WorldWCR) has announced a new bike supplier for the 2027 season and beyond. The one-make series that runs as a support category for the FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK) and has included Australia’s Tayla Collins (nee Relph) on the grid since its inception, will switch from Yamaha’s R7 to the CFMoto 675SR-R for the next three years.
According to WorldWCR, the adoption of the 675SR-R will bring “increased performance and a fresh sporting challenge” to the international category for female riders.
"Since WorldWCR began, our ambition has been to create more opportunities and build strong competition,” said Gregorio Lavilla, WorldSBK Executive Director. “Continuing to raise the bar for the riders is a key part of that.
“The CFMoto 675SR-R gives our riders a more powerful motorcycle to master and a new challenge to help them develop, while retaining the equal technical conditions that make their ability count.
“We are pleased to welcome CFMoto for the next three seasons and look forward to working together to develop WorldWCR on track and extend its international reach."
A 675cc triple producing 70kW and 70Nm, the 675SR-R combines proven racing DNA with around 11kW more power than the R7. Front and rear suspension is adjustable, while listed weight is weight from 189kg (wet) to 188kg (dry) in stock form.
Adopting the CFMoto 675SR-R represents an important step in WorldWCR’s sporting development: the additional power and different engine characteristics will challenge competitors to broaden their skills, while promising more exciting racing for fans.
The change of machinery will coincide with the arrival of Michelin as WorldWCR’s tyre supplier from 2027 onwards.
"Becoming the official motorcycle supplier for the 2027–2029 WorldWCR seasons marks an important new chapter in CFMoto’s global motorsport journey,” said Samantha Liu, General Manager of CFMoto Motorsports Management Center. “It also reflects our long-term commitment to the development of motorcycle racing.
“We look forward to working closely with WorldWCR and all our partners to further advance women’s motorcycle racing and to bring greater global attention to the speed, passion and potential of female riders."
