CFMOTO Unveils the 450MT at EICMA 2023
A New Era of Off-Road Adventure
Redefining Adventure Riding with Unparalleled Performance and Innovation
EICMA 2023 was ablaze with excitement as CFMOTO revealed its latest marvel in the world of adventure motorcycling – the 450MT. This new model is set to redefine what riders can expect from an off-road adventure bike, combining power, innovation, and sleek design.
Engine Excellence:
At the heart of the 450MT is CFMOTO’s robust 449cc parallel twin engine, fine-tuned for the thrill of adventure riding. Delivering 32.5kW at 8500 rpm and 44 Nm at 6250 rpm, the engine’s dual balance shafts significantly reduce vibrations, ensuring a smooth ride. The 270° crankshaft not only contributes to the CFMOTO engine’s distinctive sound but also enhances the riding experience, making it more enjoyable and user-friendly, especially with the bike’s lightweight of 175kg dry weight.
Optimized Handling and Ergonomics:
Handling is a key focus of the 450MT, both on and off the road. The bike features 200mm travel KYB suspensions, adjustable in preload and across 20 levels of damping. These advanced suspensions ensure responsive handling in diverse conditions. The ergonomic design, including a high-bent handlebar and dedicated footpegs, provides comfort and control whether cruising winding roads or navigating rough trails.
Off-Road Focused Design:
The 450MT’s off-road capabilities are evident in its technical specifications and bodywork. The bike boasts 90/90-21” front and 140/70-18” rear wheels, a ground clearance of 220mm, and a seat height of 820mm (with an option to reduce to 800mm). These features collectively ensure the 450MT is primed for challenging terrains.
Advanced Safety Features:
CFMOTO has equipped the 450MT with cutting-edge safety features. The BOSCH dual-channel ABS, which can be disengaged on the rear wheel through a dedicated handlebar button, enhances off-road performance. The BOSCH Traction Control System (TCS) adds another layer of safety and can be managed via the curved 5” TFT color display, which also offers Bluetooth connectivity for added convenience.
The CFMOTO 450MT, unveiled at EICMA 2023, is more than just a motorcycle; it’s an invitation to adventure enthusiasts to experience off-roading like never before. With its blend of power, agility, and innovative features, the 450MT is poised to make a significant impact in the adventure biking world. Riders seeking a bike that delivers excitement, performance, and reliability will find the CFMOTO 450MT to be an impeccable choice. As CFMOTO continues to push the boundaries of motorcycle engineering, the 450MT stands as a testament to their commitment to excellence in adventure riding.
