CFMOTO has recently launched its 800NK sport naked streetfighter at the Makina Moto Show, one of the biggest motorcycle shows in the Philippines. This new model has been making headlines with its impressive specs and features.
the naked motorcycle features KTM’s LC8c 799cc parallel-twin engine.
the 800NK is equipped with KYB suspension, full-colour TFT and J.Juan brake callipers.
Powered by a KTM-acquired 799cc 285-degree parallel twin, the 800 NK produces 100.8 horsepower and 81Nm of torque. With a top speed of 220 kilometers per hour, it’s a lightweight middleweight, tipping the scales at just 185 kilograms.
The Philippine-spec model of the 800NK comes equipped with KYB adjustable suspension in the front and rear, J.Juan calipers and brake masters, and a large eight-inch full-color TFT panel for its gauge cluster that includes smartphone pairing as one of its features.
According to CFMOTO, the Philippine market will only get one trim level of the 800 NK, and the model that the country gets has all the top-shelf stuff. Priced at PHP488,800 (RM38.6k), the 800 NK is one of the best values in the market compared to its other rivals.
The launch of the 800NK has made big waves at the Makina Moto Show, where CFMOTO has showcased its latest offering to many eager Filipinos. With its impressive specs, features, and affordable price point, the 800 NK is expected to be a game-changer in the motorcycle market.
CFMoto has revealed a second version of its Papio minibike series – the Papio XO-2.
The new model features a retro scrambler styling, in contrast to the sporty look of the previous model, Papio XO-1.
Powering the Papio XO-2 is the same 126cc air-cooled engine.
Both models share the same 126cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine that produces 9.4 horsepower and is paired with a six-speed gearbox. While the Papio XO-1 is available only in the US, the retro-styled XO series could be exported to other markets, with an official announcement expected this summer.
*CFMoto Papio XO-1
The Papio XO-2 has a high-mounted front fender, a one-piece seat, and a pillion grab rail, which gives it the look of a 1980s Dakar racer. The handlebars are taller and wider than those on the XO-1, and the footpegs are lower and farther forward, resulting in a more upright riding position.
The bike has more deeply treaded tires for off-road use, and the bellypan has been removed to add more ground clearance. The twin headlights and mirrors carry the same XO design theme as the XO-1, with an “X” shape hidden inside one headlight and an “O” in the other.
The Papio XO-2 has the same dimensions as the XO-1 in terms of wheelbase, length, and weight, but it is wider due to the longer handlebar and taller due to the more upright riding position.
CFMoto has been expanding its Papio range rapidly, with the electric version, Papio Nova, already available in China and expected to reach export markets in 2023. The Papio XO-1 joined the lineup last month, and the XO-2 is likely to follow with an official announcement this summer.
While the export plans for the retro XO models have yet to be announced, they may be unveiled at international shows later this year and could hit markets outside China in 2024.
Chinese motorcycle manufacturer CFMoto has been making headlines lately with its aggressive expansion and new model releases.
The Papio XO-1 is a mini-bike inspired by the neo-retro sportsbikes from the 80’s.
Powering the Papio XO-1 is a 125cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine.
The latest addition to its line-up is the Papio XO-1 mini-bike, a neo-retro sportbike-style machine based on the existing Papio ST-125. The Papio XO-1 is not just a fun ride for beginners, but a stylish machine that will appeal to younger motorcycle enthusiasts.
The Papio XO-1’s 125cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, single-cylinder engine pumps out 9.5 horsepower at 8,500 rpm, and 5.8 pound-feet of torque at 6,500 rpm, providing a performance similar to that of a Honda Grom. However, it’s the bike’s style that really sets it apart. The twin LED headlamps are symmetrical but feature a different bulb pattern, with the right headlamp sporting an “X” design, which adds to the bike’s custom, cartoonish appeal. The twin taillights at the rear are housed beneath shutters, just above the centrally-mounted tail-exit exhaust, giving the bike a unique retro look.
The Papio XO-1 has been launched in the Chinese market and is available in three colors – Nebula White, Fiery Red, and Moss Green. While there is no word yet on when the bike will be sold in the global market, motorcycle enthusiasts are hopeful that it will be soon.
CFMoto is already known for its aggressive expansion and multiple market launches, including in the U.S., where it continues to roll out new and exciting models, such as the 450SR sportbike and the upcoming 800 NK middleweight naked streetfighter.
With the addition of the Papio XO-1 mini-bike, CFMoto is showing that it’s not just focused on performance-oriented machines but also on lifestyle-oriented models that appeal to younger riders.
CFMoto is preparing to launch two battery-powered miniature motocrossers, according to recently filed design registrations.
While electric bikes have yet to fully catch on with mainstream riders, off-road competition represents a logical area for electric power, particularly at the lower end of the market.
CFMoto’s new models are designed to offer virtually silent, emissions-free motocross racing, opening up the possibility of tracks being built in areas where noise complaints would preclude the use of gas-powered machines, and even allowing indoor use.
The two models appear to share the same motor and battery arrangement but with different-size frames and wheels.
The smaller model features 10-inch wheels front and rear, similar to KTM’s SX-E 3. The larger model, with its 14-inch front and 12-inch rear wheels, targets older riders and has similar proportions to the Yamaha YZ65.
While both models were designed by CFMoto, they were filed through the European Union Intellectual Property Office, suggesting a market targeting outside of China.
With the designs now registered, the electric models should be ready for launch soon.
CFMOTO has been making waves in the motorcycle industry with its range of entry-level bikes that are both affordable and powerful.
The company has recently launched the 450SR, a new sportbike that is sure to impress even the most discerning motorcycle enthusiast. We recently took an 18 hours flight from Malaysia to Istanbul, Turkey to get the first taste at the new machine at the Intercity Istanbul Park circuit.
So here’s why we think, the 450SR is a special bike and deserve to be on your shopping list.
1. Engine
The first thing that stands out about the CFMOTO 450SR is its engine. The 450cc parallel-twin engine is not unique in and of itself, but what sets it apart is the 270-degree crankshaft. This engine configuration is similar to what you would find in the Yamaha MT-07, a bike that is known for its powerful bottom and mid-range, as well as its thrilling exhaust note.
The 450SR is the first parallel-twin in its class to feature a 270-degree crankshaft, making it a unique offering in the market. With 50 horsepower available, it is also the most powerful sub-500cc sportbike on the market. The 450SR is sure to give its competitors, such as the Ninja 400 and KTM RC 390, a run for their money.
2. Components
Apart from its powerful engine, the CFMOTO 450SR also boasts top-tier components. The bike comes with Brembo brakes up front that are fitted with dual-channel ABS. The suspension components are adjustable, and they are made by KYB. CFMOTO has also added some fancy electronics to the 450SR, including a full-color TFT display, ABS, traction control, and a slipper-assist clutch.
3. Style
CFMOTO has always been known for its stylish designs, and the 450SR is no exception. The bike has an ultra-slim, razor-sharp appearance that is sure to turn heads. The bodywork is stunning and has every feature that you would want on a high-performance sportbike. CFMOTO has even added winglets that claim to provide 2 kilograms of downforce at 120 kilometers per hour.
4. Price
With all the features that the CFMOTO 450SR offers, you would expect it to come with a hefty price tag. However, the bike is priced at just RM28,888 making it one of the most affordable sportbikes in its category.
CFMOTO has managed to pack in a lot of value into this bike, and it is sure to be a hit with motorcycle enthusiasts who are looking for an affordable yet powerful sportbike.
The CFMOTO Story
CFMOTO is a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer that was founded in 1989. The company has come a long way since then and is now one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers in the world. CFMOTO has always been focused on producing high-quality bikes that are both affordable and powerful.
The company’s entry-level offerings, such as the 250SR have been a hit with first-time big bike riders who are looking for an affordable yet powerful bike. CFMOTO then moved into the middleweight market with the 700 CL-X family of Neo-Retro bikes. These bikes packed a powerful punch much above their weight class and created a stir in the market.
CFMOTO then set its sights on the middleweight ADV market and launched the 800MT, a KTM-derived model. The 800MT was a hit with adventure riders who were looking for an affordable yet capable bike.
Now, CFMOTO is upending the sportbike market with the 450SR, one of its most recent masterpieces. The company has always been focused on producing high-quality bikes that offer great value, and the 450SR is no exception.
In conclusion, the CFMOTO 450SR is a motorcycle that demands attention. It’s not only striking in appearance, but it also boasts a variety of top-of-the-line features that are unrivaled in its class. The 450cc parallel-twin engine with a 270-degree crankshaft makes it the most powerful sub-500cc sportbike on the market, and the Brembo brakes, KYB suspension, and electronic rider aids make it a formidable competitor against more expensive models.
While CFMOTO may be a newcomer to the sportbike market, it has shown that it can hold its own against more established brands. Its entry-level offerings, such as the 250SR, have already impressed first-time big bike riders, and the 700 CL-X and 800MT have made waves in the middleweight market. With the 450SR, CFMOTO has once again proved its ability to create exceptional motorcycles that offer outstanding value for money.
CFMOTO has recently launched the latest addition to its 700CL-X series, the 700CL-X Adventure (ADV), during its global launch at Intercity Istanbul Park, Turkey. The ADV model is designed to cater to riders who crave adventure and excitement.
CFMOTO has announced that the ADV model will be available in the Malaysian market from the beginning of April at a base selling price of RM35,888.
The 700CL-X ADV is the third model of the 700CL-X series, following the Heritage and Sport models launched in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Unlike the first two models of the series, this Adventure model is more focused on riders who love challenges and off-road adventures.
The 700CL-X ADV comes with a robust engine platform that is similar to the other CL-X models. However, the DOHC inline-twin cylinder, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled engine has been adapted for the Scrambler characteristics of this bike. The model offers a maximum power of 69Hp at 8,500rpm and a maximum torque of 60.9Nm at 6,500rpm, which optimizes the engine for off-road use, paying more attention to a low-speed linear output.
To cater to the off-road adventure riders, CFMOTO has raised the handlebars of the 700CL-X ADV by 30mm and back by 15mm, which gives the rider a more relaxed and calm posture to deal with external shocks and side-to-side sway. The model also comes with other off-road excesses, such as solid aluminum alloys, a higher ground clearance than the 700CL-X Heritage, and raised front fenders to prevent gravel and mud from getting stuck, making it easier to ride on unpaved roads.
In terms of convenience, the 700CL-X ADV is equipped with an electronic throttle that offers two options: Road Mode and Off-Road Mode. The model also features an intelligent lighting system where the automatic LED headlights with turn signals return to their original position. Additionally, the 700CL-X ADV comes with a T-box (optional) that has a built-in 4G module and a 6D sensor, which enables the rider to check the display of vehicle status, position, distance, etc., in real-time.
For the rider’s comfort, the saddle cushion is doubled, which balances the center of gravity when moving forward and backward while riding. With every purchase of the CFMOTO 700CL-X Adventure, buyers can enjoy a manufacturer’s warranty of two years or 20,000 km (whichever comes first).
The 700CL-X Adventure model is only available in Aurora Blue, and interested buyers can get it from any authorized CFMOTO distributor throughout Malaysia from the beginning of April. With the 700CL-X ADV, CFMOTO Malaysia aims to capture Malaysian adventure riders who want to explore new terrains and enjoy the off-road experience.
CFMoto Malaysia dengan rasminya memperkenalkan CFMoot 700CL-X ADV untuk pasaran tempatan dengan harga jualan rasmi RM35,888.
CFMoto 700CL-X ADV itu sertai varian Sport dan Heritage yang telah pun diperkenalkan sebelum ini.
Berbanding Heritage yang menampilkan rekaan neo-retro sementara Sport pula lebih bercirikan kontemporari, 700CL- X ADV tampak lebih lasak dan agresif dengan elemen scrambler.
Model 700CL-X ADV itu diperkenalkan tiga tahun selepas syarikat motosikal China itu mendedahan model konsep ketika di EICMA 2019.
Perbandingan ketara antara ADV dan dua varian sedia ada adalah ciri Scrambler yang lebih ketara, ini termasuk penggunaan tayar depan 19-inci dengan rim jenis lidi (wire-spoke), serta kedudukan ‘beak’ (paruh) depan yang lebih tinggi.
Di samping itu, CFMoto turut memasang panel khas bagi memudahkan pemasangan ‘panniers’. Bukan itu sahaja, CFMoto 700CL-X ADV ini juga menawarkan mod menunggang ‘off-road’.
Namun, model baharu ini masih lagi dikuasakan enjin 693cc dua silinder yang sama seperti varian Heritage dan Sport, yang mampu menghasilkan 70hp pada 8,500rpm dan 60.9Nm pada 6,500rpm.
Baru-baru ini, kami turut sertai ‘Global Media Launch CFMoto 700CL-X ADV’ di Istanbul, Turkey dan berpeluang merasai sendiri kemampuan motosikal tersebut.

Menurut CFMOTO Malaysia, 450SR ini akan hadir dengan dua pilihan warna.
Chinese motorcycle manufacturer, CFMoto is working on a new inline-triple engine of around 675cc, according to recent patent documents as reported by Cycle World.
This move is particularly interesting as it suggests that the company is committed to developing a range of engines with different capacities and layouts, despite its partnership with KTM and the growing consensus in the industry that internal combustion engines are reaching the end of their lifespan. It also hints that there is still a future for internal combustion.
The triple engine is expected to be part of the same family as the 449cc parallel twin that’s currently available in the 450SR sportbike.
The engine, which features a 270-degree crankshaft, promises to be a huge step forward compared to the company’s previous ICE engines.
The new three-cylinder engine shares many design features with the 449cc twin, including the cylinder head and cam-cover design. If the 72mm bore and 55.1mm stroke of the 450 are carried over to the triple, the result will be a total of almost exactly 673cc.
The design of the new engine suggests that it is focused more on low-to-midrange torque and less on outright revs and peak power.
However, CFMoto could easily change the bore and stroke to give the triple more displacement and performance if required. The engine features a balancer shaft mounted at the front, as is typical for triples, and the water pump appears to be driven from the same shaft.
CFMoto has already shown extensive experience with battery-powered motorcycles and has vast battery-production facilities on its doorstep.
Despite this, the company is still investing in the development of traditional gasoline engines.
CFMoto, the Chinese motorcycle company, is set to take on BMW’s CE 04 electric scooter with their latest offering. The company has been making waves recently with their developments in both internal combustion engines and electrification.
CFMoto’s latest patent application appears to show a real-world, production-style version of their Magnet concept bike.
CFMoto is investing in both internal combustion engines and electrification, and they already have multiple electric-bike projects underway.
While CFMoto is still working on a 1,000cc V-4 with over 200 horsepower, they also have a substantial focus on electric-bike projects.
Their first major electric-bike project is the 300GT-E, a sport-tourer developed with the Chinese police in mind. They also have the Papio Nova, a battery-powered minibike that rivals Honda’s Grom, and have created the Zeeho brand for their electric scooters.
Under the Zeeho brand, the company showcased the Magnet concept bike late last year, which promised a large, battery-powered scooter to rival BMW’s CE-04. Recently, CFMoto filed a patent application that appears to show a real-world, production-style version of that scooter.
The patent design features a scooter with a similar stance to the Magnet concept, but with a more viable construction. The battery’s center section, which doubles as the main-frame structure, is made of aluminum instead of plexiglass. The scooter also features tubular subframes bolted onto the front and rear, creating the flexibility to make multiple different variations of scooters from the same central chassis section.
The scooter’s single-sided swingarm, inverted fork, radial-mount brake calipers, electric motor mounted behind the main chassis, and wide rear wheel are all similar to the Magnet concept bike. However, the patent design features a more practical angle for the single shock, which is mounted on the left of the swingarm.
CFMoto’s patent focuses on the battery pack’s cooling and illustrates the modular nature of the design. The company can use the same basic components to create either air-cooled or liquid-cooled battery packs, with either a finned side panel for air-cooling or a smooth one for the liquid-cooled variant. While the liquid-cooled battery would allow for higher performance and faster recharging, it comes at a greater expense than an air-cooled version.
Nevertheless, CFMoto has not yet released any further details on the production version of their electric scooter, but the numbers they provided for the Magnet concept bike suggest that it is a serious contender. With a top speed of 93 mph, zero-to-30 mph acceleration in less than 2.5 seconds, and a range of 124 miles between charges, CFMoto’s new electric scooter is definitely one to watch out for.
CFMoto latest model, the 250CL-X are now available at local dealerships for Rm16,888.
The 250CL-X features the similar design language as the bigger 700CL-X.
Powering the 250CL-X is a single-cylinder 249.2cc engine.
Despite no official announcement from authorized distributors, the quarter litre ‘neo-retro’ motorcycle were seen at several local dealership across the country.
The CFMoto 250CL-X features a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with a displacement of 249.2cc. It produces 26 horsepower and 17.4 lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough to provide an exciting ride. The engine is mated to a six-speed transmission that offers smooth and precise shifting.
The motorcycle’s design is inspired by the classic café racer style, which is characterized by a slim and streamlined profile, clip-on handlebars, and a single-seat configuration. The 250CL-X also features LED lighting, a digital instrument cluster, and a digital display that provides real-time information on the motorcycle’s performance.
The motorcycle comes equipped with a high-performance suspension system, which consists of an upside-down front fork and a rear mono-shock absorber. The brakes are also impressive, with a 292mm front disc and a 220mm rear disc that provide excellent stopping power.
Riders who are looking for an entry-level motorcycle that offers a balance of style, performance, and affordability may want to consider the CFMoto 250CL-X as an option.
