CFMoto 250CL-X Sudah Ada Di Malaysia, RM16,888?

Tinjauan di beberapa kedai motosikal tempatan mendapati sudah mula menjual motosikal terbaru keluaran CFMoto, 250CL-X dengan harga jualan RM16,888.

Meskipun belum ada pengumuman rasmi daripada pihak pengedar rasmi CFMoto di Malaysia namun ini antara beberapa ciri menarik yang terdapat pada motosikal segmen retro-naked itu.

Sama seperti CFMoto 700CL-X, versi 250 ini juga berkonsepkan DNA ‘neo-retro’. Hasilnya, rekaan keseluruhan menyamai motosikal gaya cafe-racer namun dengan sentuhan moden.

CFMoto 250CL-X ini dikuasakan enjin satu silinder, 250cc dengan sistem penyejukan cecair yang berupaya menghasilakn 27.6hp dan 22Nm. Kuasa enjin pula disalurkan kepada tayar belakang menerusi transmisi manual 6-kelajuan dengan bantuan klac ‘assist/slipper’.

Seperti 700CL-X, model ini juga datang dengan dua mod tungangan.

Antara ciri lain ditawarkan termasuk:

panel meter digital LCD
lampu LED penuh
fork USD
cakera brek depan dan belakang
ABS

Untuk rekod, tugas mengedar jenama motosikal CFMoto di Malaysia tidak lagi berada dibawah pengurusan pihak KTNS Holdings Sdn Bhd sebaliknya sudah berpindah tangan ke MForce Bike Holdings bermula Mac 2023.

CFMoto 800MT Explore Edition 2023 Lancar Di Eropah – 90HP, 75Nm

CFMoto telah menaik taraf motosikal ‘adventure touring’ 800MT bagi tahun 2023 dengan memperkenalkan edisi Explore.

Menurut pengeluar motosikal dari China itu, CFMoto 800MT Explore Edition merupakan naik taraf daripada model 800MT (Sport dan Touring) yang dilancarkan tahun lepas.

Bagi tahun 2023, 800MT Explore Edition tampil dengan sistem ‘traction control’ yang telah dikemas kini, radar RDS belakang baharu dan panel meter 8-inci MMI serba baharu.

Bukan itu sahaja, 800MT Explore Edition juga kini didatangkan dengan tayar Michelin Anakee Adventure secara standard berbanding sebelum ini.

Dalam pada itu, spesifikasi lain masih lagi sama seperti 800MT Touring antaranya berat 231kg, tangki 19L, kaliper brek J. Juan dengan cakera brek 320mm depan dan 260mm belakang serta ABS.

Enjin juga kekal sama dengan platform parallel-twin 799cc 8-valve DOHC dengan penyejukan cecair yang menghasilakn 90hp pada 9,250rpm dan 75Nm pada 8,000rpm. Untuk rekod, ini adalah enjin sama yang menggerakan KTM 790 Adventure.

Buat masa ini, CFMoto masih belum mengumumkan harga rasmi bagi 800MT Explore Edition di Eropah namun kami jangkakan perkara itu akan dilakukan tidak lama lagi.

Tinjauan Dekat Paten Enjin V4 Keluaran CFMoto Dengan 204HP

CFMoto merupakan antara jenama motosikal dari China yang cukup serius dalam membangunkan jentera berkualiti dan berprestasi tinggi.

Kerjasama dengan KTM termasuk di Kejuaraan Dunia Moto3 menjadi bukti komitmen yang ditonjolkan CFMoto dalam mengukuhkan jenama itu di pentas antarabangsa.

Menariknya, beberapa model yang diperkenalkan antaranya 250SR, 700CL-X, 650MT, 800MT dan terbaru 450SR bingkas mencuri tumpuan di pasaran global.

Bagaimanapun, terdapat perkembangan menarik yang timbul mengenai CFMoto apabila jenama itu dilaporkan bakal memperkenalkan jentera ‘superbike’ dengan enjin 1000cc tidak lama lagi.

Perkara itu disahkan menerusi paten enjin yang telah difailkan pada Jun tahun lalu dan hanya baru-baru ini akses kepada maklumat tersebut dibuka kepada orang ramai.

Paten tersebut mendedahkan jentera ‘superbike’ itu akan bernadikan enjin 4-silinder dengan konfigurasi V4. Lebih menarik, dokumen terbabit menyebut enjin V4 itu akan menawarkan 204hp.

Ada yang mendakwa enjin tersebut dibangunkan daripada jentera prototaip KTM RC16 di MotoGP. Bagaimanapun, penilaian kami selepas melihat paten tersebut, ternyata platform itu langsung tidak menyerupai enjin yang dihasilkan KTM sebelum ini. Malah, paten tersebut difailkan di bawah nama CFMoto semata-mata bukan nama rasmi hasil kerjasama dua belah pihak.

Oleh itu, kami dijangkakan enjin 1000cc dengan konfigurasi V4 ini adalah hasil kerja tangan CFMoto sendiri tanpa sebarang bantuan luar.

Buat masa ini kami difahamkan, enijn V4 itu akan diguna pakai pada dua jenis model, sportbike dan naked.

Difahamkan, model naked itu juga akan membuat penampilan sulung sekurang-kurangnya lewat tahun ini namun, belum ada sebarang perkembangan mengenai model ‘sportbike’ tersebut.

Apa yang pasti, kemunculan jentera ‘full-fairing’ dengan enjin 1000cc V4 dari CFMoto itu akan berlaku tidak lama lagi sekaligus memberi saingan kepada jenama motosikal Jepun dan Eropah.

Selain CFMoto, satu lagi pengeluar motosikal dari China, QJMotor sedang membangunkan jentera sportbike 1000cc hasil kerjasama dengan MV Agusta. Mengguna pakai enjin dan chasis daripada MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR, model itu juga dijangka akan dilancarkan sebagai model 2024.

Back To The 80s With CFMoto Papio XO-1

CFMoto is ready to take another aim at Honda’s MSX125 (Grom) with the upcoming Papio XO-1, as confirmed by the latest type-approval documents filed in China.

The Papio XO-1 is CFMoto’s upcoming minimoto range.
The XO-1 is equipped with a 126cc, air-cooled single, making a claimedt 9.4hp.

The Papio XO-1 (as shown on the side fairing) is a second variation of the current 126cc, single-cylinder Papio mini bike currently on sale in the US and Europe.

However, while the base Papio is somewhat a mini version of a modern naked bike, the upcoming XO-1 has styling that is clearly inspired by motorcycles from the 80s.

That said, the single photo in the document reveals a dual-headlight semi-fairing motorcycle reminiscent of a classic bike.

Interestingly, the Papio XO-1 is not just a case of putting on new bodywork onto the standard Papio; instead, the former features a new inverted fork, clip-on handlebars and cast aluminium rear footpegs.

Also new is a new chain-guard, body panels and redesigned fuel tank.

The retro theme continues with a single, circular LCD instrument cluster.

CFMoto 1250NK In The Works

CFMoto has successfully utilised its partnership with KTM in the last few years mainly by employing the same LC8c parallel-twin mill into its range including the 800MT and the 700CL-X.

CFMoto working on a KTM-powered 1250NK.
The 1250NK is a naked-style motorcycle powered by KTM’s LC8 1,279cc V-Twin engine.

The same powertrain will also be powering the upcoming 800NK naked motorcycle. Not to mention, CFMoto also builds the 790 Duke and 790 Adventure for the Austrian OEM.

Nevertheless, CFMoto plans to expand its naked bike range by introducing the 1250NK.

According to reports, CFMoto intends to used KTM’s LC8 1,279cc engine – which currently powers the Chinese brand 1250 TR-G grand tourer – for the 1250NK.

Currently, the LC8-powered TR-G makes 140hp but it is likely that the V-Twin mill will be revised for a higher peak power to feed the 1250NK.

Borrowing much of the design concept as KTM’s 1290 Super Duke R, the 1250NK also sports single-sided swingarm.

While it may share some design traits including a similar steel trellis frame, the 1250NK features its own unique identity. More importantly, the 1250NK borrows much of its design from the firms’ upcoming 800NK which is set to debut soon.

With that in mind, the 1250NK might not hit the road anytime soon therefore we expect some design change between then and now.

2023 CFMoto 700CL-X ADV Price Announced In Europe – From RM35.8k

Chinese motorcycle manufacturer, CFMoto has officially introduced the 700CL-X Adventure, becoming the third variant from its neo-retro scrambler range.

the ADV features larger 19-inch wheels and raised beak.
powered by the same 693cc two-cylinder engine.

Joining the already available 700 CL-X Heritage and Sport, the 700 CL-X ADV features a more rugged and aggressive bodywork than it siblings.

The 700 CL-X ADV finally make its way to production, three years after it was presented as a prototype at the 2019 EICMA.

Coming in at EUR7,590 (RM35.8k), the 700CL-X ADV is only available in Aurora Blue colour scheme.

Despite the robust look, the ADV variant is not a serious off-road capable machine compared to the brand 800MT motorcycle, but it does have a resemblance akin to a Scrambler.

That said, the 700 CL-X ADV gets a larger 19-inch front wheel, dual-purpose tyres, wire-spoke wheels and a raised beaked typically found on a scrambler.

Nonetheless, majority of the 700 CL-X ADV still retains the same signatures, including the X front headlamp.

In addition, the 700 CL-X ADV also fitted with panels to install panniers.

Mechanically, the ADV version gets the same 693cc two cylinder engine producing 74hp @ 8,500rpm and 68Nm @ 6,500rpm.

While no official price is mention yet, we expect the ADV to priced slightly higher than the Heritage and Sport.

KTM-Powered CFMoto 800NK Inbound – 799cc, 99hp

Just a few months ago, CFMoto unveiled its NK-C22 concept motorcycle that was likely to make it to production anytime soon.

CFMoto to introduced the 800NK roadster.
Features KTM 799cc LC8c parallel twin-cylinder engine.

The naked-type roadster were believed to be powered by KTM’s 799cc parallel twin-cylinder engine.

However, latest development has confirmed that a production model, resembling the NK-C22 concept already in the works with the finished product bearing the 800NK name emerged in a new type-approval documents filed in China.

The documents not only showed one but two versions of the 800Nk are to be made.

Based on the single photo shared, the 800NK looks like a proper roadster with sharp bodyworks and exposed frame.

Interestingly, the production model mirrors most of the NK-C22 features except a couple of key changes with the main alteration is the adoption of a conventional double-sided swingarm.

Similar to other CFMoto machines, the 800NK is likely designed by Kiska Studios, the same company responsible for many KTM’s in recent years.

CFMoto also claimed that the KTM-powered 800NK makes 99hp from the 799cc LTM LC8c engine. The same mill also powered CFMoto’s 800MT adventure motorcycle.

According to the documents, both iterations of the 800NK also shares the same key figures including engine and other components. They also have similar parts, including an USD front fork, J.Juan radial-mount brake callipers and TFT instrument display.

However, we expect the higher-spec 800NK to feature an additional electronic package, possibly similar to KTM’s 790 Duke range.

The all-new CFMoto 800NK is likely to hit the global market in 2023.

CFMOTO Bantu KTM Kembalikan 790 Adventure Dan 790 Duke

Umum mengetahui KTM sebelum ini telah pun menghentikan pengeluaran KTM 790 Adventure dan 790 Duke dan digantikan dengan model 890.

Keputusan itu dibuat setelah hak pembuatan enjin parallel-twin 799cc itu diserahkan kepada rakan sekerja di China, CFMOTO.

CFMOTO menggunakan enjin tersebut bagi menghasilkan motosikal adventure mereka sendiri menerusi CFMOTO 800MT sementara KTM pula beralih dengan enjin lebih besar dengan memperkenalkan 890 Duke dan 890 Adventure.

Bagaimanapun, bagi tahun 2023, KTM menghidupkan semula 790 Adventure dan 790 Duke untuk pasaran global dengan bantuan CFMOTO yang akan menghasilkan kedua-dua model keluaran 2023 ini.

Hasilnya, KTM 790 Adventure 2023 masih lagi menawarkan 95hp dan 88Nm daripada enjin 799cc tersebut.

Meskipun enjin kekal sama, namun terdapat beberapa penambahbaikan telah dilaksanakan pada model 2023 ini termasuk kotak udara dan ‘friction plates’ baharu.

KTM juga mendakwa kadar putaran jisim turut naik 20 peratus sekaligus meningkatkan prestasi jentera sewaktu di selekoh.

Bagaimanapun, naik taraf terbesar adalah IMU 6D yang menawarkan fungsi Cornering Motorcycle Traction Control, ABS, Motor Slip Regulation dan ‘riding mode’.

Model 2023 ini juga mendapat fungsi Quickshifter+ sebagai standard.

Ciri lain ditawarkan termasuk:

fork depan WP Apex 43mm dengan jarak pergerakan 200mm.
tayar Pirelli Scorpion STR.
tangki 20L.

KTM 790 Adventure Returns For 2023

KTM has remarkably announced the return of the 790 Adventure for 2023 alongside the 790 Duke.

KTM 790 Adventure makes the same 95hp and 88Nm of peak torque.
KTM’s Chinese partner, CFMOTO is in charge of manufacturing the 790 Adventure range.

The middleweight adventure bike revival is largely thanks to KTM’s Chinese partnership, CFMOTO who’s in charge of building the 2023 790 Adventure and the 790 Duke.

Mechanically, the 2023 KTM 790 Adventure makes the same 95hp and 88Nm however the throttle body has been reworked for a cleaner response.

Also new on the 2023 model year includes a new airbox and friction plates.

KTM also claimed that there is a 20 percent increase of rotating mass which boost the bike’s cornering ability. KTM also equipped the 790 Adventure with a knock control sensor.

However, the biggest update for the 2023 model is a new 6D IMU that features Cornering Motorcycle Traction Control, ABS, Motor Slip Regulation and riding modes.

Additionally, the revived 790 Adventure is also fitted with KTM’s Quickshifter+ as standard.

Other notable features include 43mm WP Apex forks with 200mm of travel, Pirelli Scorpion STR tires and a 20L fuel tank that can take you up to 450km of range.

KTM 790 Duke Hidup Semula – 105HP, 82.37Nm

KTM membuat keputusan untuk mengembalikan 790 Duke bagi tahun 2023 meskipun model itu sebelum ini telah digantikan dengan 890 Duke.

Difahamkan, keputusan hidupkan semula KTM 790 Duke itu dibuat setelah pengeluar motosikal Austria itu menerima banyak permintaan daripada pasaran global.

KTM sebelum ini menggantikan 790 Duke dengan 890 Duke ekoran mahu menghasilkan jentera yang lebih berkuasa di samping terpaksa mengikut standard emisi ketat di Eropah.

Bagaimanapun, hak enjin parallel-twin LC8c 799cc itu bukan lagi milik KTM dan sudah berpindah tangan kepada CFMOTO bagi pembangunan 800MT.

Oleh yang demikian, penghasilan semula KTM 790 Duke telah dijayakan bersama CFMOTO bagi tahun 2023.

Untuk rekod, enjin LC8c terbabit masih lagi menghasilkan 105hp pada 9,000rpm dan 82.37Nm @ pada 8,000rpm.

Meskipun enjin yang sama namun model 2023 ini telah dinaik taraf dengan beberapa ciri baharu terutamanya pakej elektronik.

Menurut KTM, 790 Duke 2023 ini datang dengan mod ‘Track’ yang sertai mod sedia ada termasuk Sport, Street dan Rain.

Model baharu ini juga dilengkapi dengan sistem ‘traction-control’ sembilan peringkat, fungsi ‘anti-wheelie’, ‘launch control’ dan tiga tetapan respon enjin.

Juga ciri baharu terdapat pada 790 Duke ini termasuk Motor Slip Regulation (MSR) dan mod Supermoto.

Namun, spesifikasi lain termasuk bahagian suspensi masih sama seperti model terdahulu termasuk fork depan WP Apex 43mm.

CFMOTO 800MT Sport R Breaks Cover – Revised KYB Suspension, 17-Inch Wheels

As the name suggest, the CFMOTO 800MT Sport R is a sportier take on the Chinese firm adventure-tourer.

The 800MT Sport R takes inspiration from the firm’s involvement in Moto3.
Features revised suspension, lower ground clearance and 17-inch wheels.

CFMOTO revealed the 800MT back in April 2021 as an adventure-type motorcycle that borrows much of its underpinnings from the KTM 790 Adventure.

That said, the 799cc LC8 parallel-twin engine makes 95hp @ 9,000rpm and 77Nm @ 7,500rpm.

While it was built as a potent adventure bike, CFMOTO decided to give it a twist during a special unveiling at EICMA, last week.

As a result, the 800MT Sport R features some changes to its chassis and ergonomics to make it sharper on the road or track.

Similar to the Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak, CFMOTO ditched the 19-inch rims and shod a road-focused 17-inch wheels.

The smaller wheels ensures the bike can be fitted with a sportier and track-focused tires.

In addition the 800MT Sport R also features revised KYB suspension, lower ground clearance and reworked rebound and compression damping settings.

CFMOTO also upgraded its stock J.Juan brake callipers to a high performance Brembo brakes. Other notable features include CFMOTO Pruestel GP Moto3 team inspired colourway.

Unfortunately, no words from CFMOTO whether the 800MT Sport R will be going into production anytime soon. If it does, expect some tweak than the concept shown in Milan.
