TARNS Forged Wheels and TTRX Racing used EICMA 2026 to put a broad performance-component programme in front of international buyers. The two brands shared Hall 24, Stand A52, where agreements, orders and expressions of interest exceeded 23,000 units during a single day. Commercial delegations from Italy, Germany, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Japan and the Middle East were involved in the activity, which covered forged wheels, adjustable suspension and high-performance braking parts.

The breakdown comprised 3,000 sets of TARNS 6061-T6 alloy forged wheels, more than 5,000 adjustable TTRX front units and 15,000 forged brake calipers with T6 heat treatment. That combination shows the two companies’ intended position in the aftermarket: lower unsprung mass through wheel construction, broader chassis adjustment through the fork range and more sophisticated braking hardware without limiting the programme to a single type of motorcycle. A German distributor described TTRX as capable of competing with established international performance brands in material quality and hydraulic adjustability, while a US importer characterized the pricing position as more accessible than the market’s traditional WorldSBK-level offerings.

TARNS brings a large forging operation to motorcycles

TARNS says its background extends across 15 years of high-pressure aluminium forging. Its operational headquarters are in Wuxi, Jiangsu, and its manufacturing centre in Henan represents an investment of more than 500 million RMB. The facility covers 50,000 square metres and employs 300 specialist technicians. Production equipment includes a 10,000-tonne forging press, 50 CNC lathes and 150 CNC machining centres, among them 10 five-axis machines. TARNS also lists in-house heat-treatment, polishing and anodising lines.

The company entered motorcycles in 2020 after working in the premium automotive aftermarket. Its forged automotive wheels have been made for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Maybach. TARNS also connects its motorcycle programme with the ZXMOTO 820RR, which it presents as having taken a WorldSBK victory at Portimão in March 2026. The result is described as the first premier-class world-championship win for a Chinese motorcycle. The race bike used wheels made exclusively by TARNS, produced with six dedicated moulds.

For its motorcycle wheels, TARNS claims 30% greater mechanical strength than a conventional cast wheel and a weight saving of between one third and one half. Those figures are manufacturer claims rather than the outcome of an independent comparison, but they explain the engineering argument behind the range: changing the wheel’s construction can address both strength and the mass carried outside the suspension system.

TTRX focuses on four-way fork adjustment

TTRX Racing was founded in 2020 and developed its range in parallel with TARNS’ wheel-supply programmes. The brand describes six years of work on test benches and at circuits, conducted with official Chinese BMW and Ducati racing teams. Its EICMA line is aimed at sport motorcycles, middleweight and large-capacity naked bikes, maxi-scooters and high-performance electric vehicles.

The TTRX fork provides four independent adjustment functions. Spring preload is set through a mechanically locked collar designed to prevent loosening during hard riding. Compression damping can be adjusted between road-oriented comfort and greater support under heavy braking. Rebound damping uses an 18-click adjuster, while nitrogen pressure is managed through a separate external reservoir. TTRX says the arrangement is intended to preserve tyre contact over uneven surfaces and to manage heat during extended track sessions.

The springs and internal cartridges use what TTRX describes as a special tungsten-chromium-silicon steel of military specification, supplied by Baotou Aluminium. The claimed objective is fatigue resistance and stable damping behaviour as hydraulic-oil temperatures rise. These are design and material descriptions from the manufacturer, not independent durability findings.

A forged monobloc caliper and silk-inspired concepts

The braking display included TTRX’s four-piston monobloc radial caliper. Its body is made from forged aluminium alloy and receives T6 heat treatment. The mounting and piston-seat areas are machined on five-axis equipment, while the caliper is paired with HH-Grade high-friction sintered pads. TARNS’ 10,000-tonne press is identified as part of the forging process for the caliper body.

The stand also included concept brake discs and carbon-fibre final-drive sprockets. Across the displayed range, the design language follows the fluidity of silk, using organic, flowing lines and broad structural cut-outs. The visual treatment is intended to reduce unsprung mass while retaining the rigidity required by the components. Together, the wheel, fork and brake programmes give TARNS and TTRX a fuller aftermarket proposition than a single forged-wheel launch, spanning chassis response, adjustment and braking hardware in one EICMA presentation.
