New Sportbike From Shineray Debuts in Brazil With 27.5 Hp, Inverted Front Suspension, Complete Digital Dashboard, and Design Based on the QJ SRK 300R. Model Expands the SBM Line and Seeks Space Among Entry-Level Fairings.
Shineray officially presented in Brazil the SBM 250s 2026, a small sportbike with 27.5 hp, inverted fork, digital LCD dashboard, and two-channel ABS.
The suggested price is R$ 23,490 (excluding freight), and sales will take place at the new dealerships of the SBM division, created to encompass higher-displacement models with more elaborate finishes, alongside the SBM 400s.
Of Chinese origin, the project is supplied by QJ Motor, one of the largest manufacturers in the Asian country.

Project and Positioning in the Brazilian Market
Aimed at those seeking an entry-level sportbike, the SBM 250s competes with options such as Yamaha R15, Yamaha R3, and Kawasaki Ninja 300, offering an aggressive look, complete fairings, and an up-to-date equipment package.
Shineray emphasizes that the SBM line has a nationally unified price and three-year warranty, an element intended to reduce the perceived risk for those who are not yet familiar with the brand’s specific network.
Engine and Performance
In the mechanical assembly, the SBM 250s uses a 249 cm³ single-cylinder, double overhead camshaft (DOHC), and liquid cooling.
According to official data, the engine delivers 27.5 hp at 9,500 rpm and 22.5 Nm at 7,250 rpm.
The transmission is six-speed, and the assist and slipper clutch helps reduce the risk of rear wheel locking during sudden downshifts, favoring a more stable ride.
Although the brand cites visual inspiration from the QJ sports family, the SBM 250s does not share the same displacement as the QJ SRK 300R available in overseas markets, which uses an engine of about 292 cm³.
The relationship between the models is mainly of design and supplier, not identical specification.
Chassis and Suspensions
The structure consists of a diamond chassis with steel trellis, a solution that aims for rigidity combined with low weight.
At the front, the bike features an inverted fork with 110 mm of travel.
At the rear, there is a monoshock with a balance and travel of 90.7 mm at the wheel.
The proposal prioritizes sporty behavior, focusing on stability and more direct responses when changing direction.
Brakes and Wheels
The braking system adopts a 300 mm disc at the front and 240 mm at the rear, assisted by two-channel ABS to prevent locking in emergency situations.
The 17-inch alloy wheels are fitted with 110/70 R17 tires at the front and 140/60 R17 at the rear, a setup aligned with the segment of lightweight fairings.
Dimensions and Capacity
With 158 kg dry weight, the SBM 250s has a 12.5-liter fuel tank and a seat height of 820 mm.
The wheelbase is 1,375 mm, while the overall dimensions are 2,030 mm in length, 760 mm in width, and 1,140 mm in height.
The minimum ground clearance is 140 mm, numbers indicating an urban proposal with suitability for short road trips.
The declared maximum load is 150 kg (rider, passenger, and luggage/accessories).
Equipment and Technology
Among the standard items, the sportbike offers full LED lighting in the headlight, taillight, and turn signals, a 100% digital LCD dashboard with speedometer, tachometer, gear indicator, and fuel level, as well as USB and USB-C ports.
The seat is split, and there is a center stand, a practical feature for chain maintenance and parking on uneven surfaces.
The brand also mentions a side stand sensor and a tilt sensor as part of the electronic safety package.
Colors, Warranty, and SBM Network
Shineray confirms two color options for the model, black and red, maintaining the sporty visual identity with highlighted graphics.
The announced policy for the SBM line provides for a fixed price across Brazil and a three-year warranty, with service at the new dealerships dedicated to the sub-brand.
The SBM 400s shares the premium positioning proposal within the portfolio and helps inaugurate the service network.
Competition and Positioning
With power delivery close to the ceiling of the 250 single-cylinder category, the SBM 250s positions itself among the entry-level fairings available in the country.
While the Yamaha R15 prioritizes low weight and revs, and the Kawasaki Ninja 300 operates at a higher displacement level, Shineray’s new model bets on the equipment package — inverted fork, two-channel ABS, and complete dashboard — and a competitive price to attract those looking to start in the world of fairings with a more robust look.
The presence of a three-year warranty and a dedicated network also indicates the brand’s strategy to consolidate the new division in Brazil.
Launch and Start of Sales
The sale of the SBM 250s begins alongside the operation of the SBM dealerships.
The manufacturer states that some items may vary by version and availability, but the basic standard package is as described in the official technical sheet.
For those interested, the public price indicated on the website and in promotional materials remains R$ 23,490, not including freight.
With the advancement of the SBM line and the arrival of the 250s, Shineray accelerates its presence among low-displacement sportbikes.
