With More Powerful Engine, TFT Display, and Embedded Technology, the QJ Motor SRT 300 DX Stands Out as a New Trail That Challenges Leaders Like Lander and Sahara. But Small Tank and Seat Height Divide Opinions
The QJ Motor SRT 300 DX has just hit the market with a clear mission to shake up the mid-trail segment. Powerful, tech-savvy, and with off-road capability, the new trail promises more than the Yamaha Lander and Honda Sahara — and it delivers. Its liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine offers more power, the weight is lower, and the electronic features are superior.
But two factors are concerning: the limited fuel tank capacity and the seat height, which may deter average-height riders. Still, the proposal is bold and appealing, especially for those looking for technology and performance without paying extra for it.
More Power and Lightness for Those Seeking Performance
The heart of the new motorcycle that surpasses Lander and Sahara is a 292.3 cc single-cylinder engine, with double overhead camshaft (DOHC) and liquid cooling. The model delivers 28 hp at 9,000 rpm and torque of 2.45 kgf·m at 7,000 rpm. These figures surpass the averages of the main national competitors.

The lightness also stands out: it weighs only 157 kg ready to ride. This ensures an excellent power-to-weight ratio and facilitates control in off-road situations or urban use, where agility makes a difference.
With this, the QJ Motor SRT 300 DX delivers more power with less weight — a desired combination for trail riders, adventurers, and urban motorcyclists looking for a versatile machine.
New Trail Is Packed With Modern Equipment
Unlike other motorcycles in the same category, the new trail from QJ Motor comes with a standout technological package. The display is 100% digital in color TFT, with excellent visibility and a user-friendly interface. The system allows for smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth, which is still rare in this segment.
The safety package includes disc brakes with ABS on both wheels — an essential item, but still absent in some rivals. The front suspension is inverted (USD), ensuring greater rigidity and impact absorption, while the rear features a monoshock with preload adjustment.
Another smart detail is the quick release system on the front wheel, making it easier to remove and change the tire. The motorcycle’s design shows special attention to user experience and practical use in adverse situations.

Off-Road Features and Adventurous Proposal
The new trail from QJ Motor was clearly designed for off-road use. The combination of spoked wheels (21″ in front and 18″ in the rear), mixed-use tires, and generous ground clearance (275 mm) shows that the vocation of the SRT 300 DX goes beyond asphalt.
This setup ensures competent performance on uneven terrain, while still providing comfort during urban use. The raised handlebars, narrow seat, and upright riding position favor long periods of riding, whether on trips or trails.
The ergonomics follow the pattern of adventure trails. However, one factor may require attention: the high seat height of 890 mm is one of the tallest in the category, and it may limit access for shorter riders.
Two Points That Still Generate Doubts About the QJ Motor SRT 300 DX
Despite standing out in many aspects, the new trail from QJ Motor brings two elements that may generate some resistance in the Brazilian market:
Seat Height
At 890 mm, the seat of the SRT 300 DX is higher than that of the Yamaha Lander (875 mm) and the Honda Sahara (859 mm). For riders shorter than 1.70 m, this height may make it difficult to operate at low speeds or during maneuvers, especially with a load or passenger.
Tank Capacity
The motorcycle carries only 10 liters of fuel — less than its main rivals. This volume reduces the range, which can be a problem for those intending to use it on long journeys or in areas with few gas stations.
Both points are important and should be considered by anyone evaluating the purchase of the motorcycle, especially if frequent use on trips is planned.
New Motorcycle That Surpasses Lander and Sahara Could Arrive in Brazil?
The QJ Motor already operates in Brazil through a partnership with Shineray/SBM, which brought models like the SRK 400 and SRT 800. The market expectation is that the SRT 300 DX will also be launched here, occupying the mid-cylinder range and offering strong competition to Honda and Yamaha.
The outlook is favorable: the trail segment is growing year after year, and there is room for a motorcycle with good performance, reduced weight, and more electronic features than market leaders. If it maintains the cost-benefit ratio of the model sold in China, QJ could capture a significant share of the adventurous audience in Brazil.
For now, there is no confirmed date for the arrival of the SRT 300 DX in the country. But, with the increasing interest in versatile and economical motorcycles, the expectation is that QJ Motor will quickly expand its national portfolio.
Worth Watching the New Trail from QJ Motor
The QJ Motor SRT 300 DX presents a solid and bold proposal: superior performance, updated electronics, and modern visuals. The combination of power, lightness, and novel features in the category reinforces its competitiveness against established models like Lander and Sahara.
Although the limited tank and elevated seat may be challenges, these points do not compromise the overall package of the motorcycle. On the contrary, they can be easily compensated for those seeking performance, technology, and style in a mid-sized trail motorcycle.
For those looking for a new motorcycle with a “foreign” look but at an affordable price and modern proposal, the SRT 300 DX emerges as an excellent promise. If it arrives in Brazil with the same cost-benefit ratio seen in China, the model is set to win over Brazilian motorcyclists seeking new adventures.
Ching ling!!!!
Sou mais a minha Antiga Sahara 350, 31.5 cv, com 3,13 torque à 6000rpm…e que custa 1/3 desse valor! Fui!
Ótima opção para para 250cc!
Porém, devemos observar o “Pós Venda”
Em relação à disponível de “peças de reposição…”
Se é chinesa, não presta.
