TT 2026: Moto Twelve & CFMoto to debut this year

Cringle and Anderson to ride for squad in Sportbike class

The Moto Twelve Racing team and Chinese manufacturer, CFMoto will make their Isle of Man TT Races debut this year.

The partnership is set to target the two Sportbike TT races on the Snaefell Mountain Course in 2026.

Manx rider, Jamie Cringle and Northern Irishman, Shaun Anderson have been signed up to race on board the squad's CFMoto 675SR-R machinery.

Now entering his fifth year at the TT, 28-year-old Cringle says: "Born and raised on the Isle of Man, this is a huge opportunity for me and one I’m incredibly grateful for. 

"I’m really looking forward to learning more about the bike and working with the MotoTwelve team."

Away from road racing, the CFMoto 675SR-R machine has already enjoyed some positive results on the circuits with Scottish rider, Adon Davie guiding the bike to an eighth-place finish overall in the 2025 Pirelli National Sportbike Championship.

Meanwhile, Anderson adds: "It’s an exciting challenge to be part of a new project like this at the TT. 

"Bringing a new manufacturer to the Mountain Course is something different, our focus will be on building consistency and developing the bike throughout the week for ahead of the two races."

The 2026 Isle of Man TT Races are due to take place from Monday, 25 May to Saturday, 6 June.
