CFMOTO 700CL-X

Chinese motorcycle manufacturer CFMOTO finally makes its way to Europe by introducing five new models in Italy.

According to Motociclismo.it, CFMOTO revealed the 2021 300NK, 650NK, 650MT, 650GT and the 700CL-X.

All of the motorcycles will be available as early as June 2021.

Interestingly, CFMOTO also plans to introduce the highly anticipated 800MT and the 700CL- ADV and Sport.

CFMoto 300NK and 650NK

The 300NK is a naked sports motorcycle powered by a single-cylinder 292cc DOHC liquid-cooled engine capable of producing 27.9hp @ 8,750rpm.

Braking is helped by a 392mm disc at the front and 22mm disc at the rear and paired with a dual-channel ABS.

Meanwhile, the 650NK is powered by a 649cc DOHC liquid-cooled engine that offers a maximum output of 56.5hp @ 8,250rpm.

The 650NK also hold a 17L fuel tank.

CFMoto 650MT and 650GT

The 650MT and the 650GT is the company first attempt at challenging the sport-touring segment.

Powered by the same engine found on the 650NK, the 650MT and 650GT makes 56.5hp @ 8,250rpm.

Both frames are made out of steel tubes and come with a 43mm USD fork with an adjustable preload monoshock. The tank holds 18L of fuel.

CFMoto 700CL-X

Thanks to the classic retro-style cafe racer design, the 700CL-X is set to be the most popular model in Italy.

Despite the country boasting various models from more established brands such as the Ducati Scrambler, the 700CL-X comes under just EUR7,000, making it desirable among younger riders.

The CFMOTO brand is undeniably getting bigger and bigger, especially in Malaysia, with its wide range of 250cc up to 650cc motorcycles.

The 250SR quickly gained attention when CFMOTO launched the motorcycle in Penang back in 2019, with the brand already making its mark previously with the 400NK and 650MT.

During the launch, CFMOTO informed us that the all-new 700CL-X would also arrive in Malaysia in 2021 before it was put on hold due to the current pandemic Covid-19.

Nevertheless, it is rumoured that the new cafe-racer-type machine will reach shores at the end of 2021.

When it was unveiled at 2019 EICMA, three variants were on display: Heritage, Adventure, and Sport with the motorcycle powered by a 693cc parallel-twin engine that punches around 74hp and 68Nm of torque.

The 700CL-X boast with variety of features which includes:

  • 41mm KYB USD front forks (fully adjustable)
  • Rear KYB single shock (preload & rebound adjustability)
  • Retro-looking front LED headlights (all-round LED lighting system)
  • 17-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels + Pirelli MT60 RS tyres
  • Slipper clutch
  • Selectable riding modes, cruise control + LCD dashboard
  • Continental ABS

Although no official price has been revealed, we expect it to be sold at around RM30,000 to RM35,000, which we think is an excellent price for a motorcycle that packs with all the latest goodies.

CFMOTO 700CL-X telah pun dilancarkan secara global pada Julai tahun lalu secara strim langsung.

Motosikal ini merupakan antara tawaran terbaru CFMOTO hasil kerjasama dengan pengeluar motosikal Austria, KTM.

Jentera berkonsepkan scrambler dan cafe-racer ini menggabungkan elemen klasik dan moden hasil rekaan Kiska, syarikat pereka yang turut bertanggungjawab mereka bberapa jentera KTM dan Husqvarna.

Di China, motosikal ini dijual pada harga CNY45,800 (RM28,700) manakala dipasarkan di Filipina pada harga PHP369,800 (RM30,700) sekaligus beri bayangan model tersebut akan dijual sekitar harga RM3X,XXX.

While other brands are taking a more cautious approach towards 2021 due to the current coronavirus pandemic, CFMOTO is going ahead with their plans to introduce a few new models.

What surprised us is that while other manufacturers seek to introduce small-displacement two-wheeler to reach broader demographics, CFMOTO is busy with larger-displacements products.

Three new motorcycles are expected to land this year with 2021 CFMOTO 650NK, 700CL-X and the 800MT.

2021 CFMOTO 650NK

The 650NK is a mid-segment naked motorcycle that features a liquid-cooled 649cc parallel-twin engine that produces 60hp and 56Nm.

The motorcycle also packs with a dual-channel ABS, all-around LED lights, telescopic fork and a rear monoshock by KYB, while the braking hardware consists of twin disc setup and a single rear disc with a pair of Pirelli rubber.

The 650NK also comes with a new 5″ TFT screen and a 17L fuel tank.

2021 CFMOTO 700CL-X

This excites us the most, as the 700CL-X is CFMOTO modern take on the scrambler/cafe racer motorcycle, apart from offering higher specifications than the 650NK.

The 700CL-X is packed with a 693cc parallel-twin that produces 73hp @ 8,500rpm and 68Nm @ 7,000rpm and paired to a slipper clutch.

The 800MT is CFMOTO attempt to penetrate the adventure segment with an all-new dual-purpose motorcycle in partnership with KTM.

As a result, the same KTM LC8 799cc parallel-twin powers the 790 Adventure is injected into the 800MT.

The 800MT is expected to come in two variants, spokes and alloy rims, based on leaked photos.

The 800MT is expected to come with a TFT display, four-piston brake callipers, ride-by-wire, riding modes and cruise control.
