Description
The CFMOTO 450MT is a lightweight, versatile mid-size adventure touring motorcycle designed for both road and off-road use. It features a 449cc parallel-twin engine, long-travel KYB suspension, switchable ABS, and a 5-inch TFT display, making it well-suited to a variety of riding conditions.
The 450MT is powered by a liquid-cooled, 449cc parallel-twin, four-stroke engine with a 270° crankshaft, producing approximately 42–44 hp at 8,500 rpm and 42–44 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm, providing smooth and linear power delivery. The 270° firing interval gives V-twin-like torque characteristics that enhance traction on loose or uneven terrain. Power is managed via a 6-speed wet CF-SC slipper clutch gearbox, offering low gears for technical riding and high gears for relaxed highway cruising.
Chassis and Suspension
The bike features a high-tensile tubular steel frame with a long swingarm and reinforced rear subframe for durability. Suspension includes 41mm inverted KYB USD forks in the front and a single KYB rear shock, both offering 200 mm of travel with adjustable preload, compression, and rebound damping. Ground clearance is 220 mm, making it capable over varied off-road obstacles.
Wheels and Braking
The 450MT rides on a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoked, tubeless wheel setup with 90/90 R21 front and 140/70 R18 rear tires, designed for off-road control without compromising street performance. Braking is handled by J.Juan discs: 320mm front with a four-piston caliper and 240mm rear with single-piston caliper. BOSCH dual-channel ABS is standard, with rear ABS switchable for off-road. BOSCH traction control is included and can also be disengaged for loose surfaces.
Electronics and Instrumentation
A 5-inch TFT display provides ride data, Bluetooth connectivity, and integration with the CFMOTO RideSync app for navigation, tracking, and diagnostics. The bike also includes full LED lighting, USB Type-A and Type-C charging ports, and selectable ride modes for road and off-road scenarios, allowing riders to stay connected and adjust electronics as needed.
Ergonomics and Comfort
Seat height adjusts from 800 mm to 820 mm to accommodate a range of rider heights. Handlebar and footpeg positions are designed for extended comfort, and the adjustable windscreen offers protection from wind. The fuel tank capacity is 17.5 liters, supporting longer rides without frequent refueling. The dry weight is approximately 175 kg, making the bike agile and manageable in varied conditions.
