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. 

Pengedar rasmi jenama CFMoto di Malaysia, MForce Bike Holdings dengan rasminya melancarkan CFMoto 450SR untuk pasaran tempatan dengan harga jualan rasmi RM28,888.

Untuk rekod, CFMOTO 450SR dibangunkan daripada model prototaip SR-C21 yang didedahkan sebelum ini.

CFMoto 450SR merupakan jentera sportsbike bernadikan enjin parallel-twin 449cc dengan ‘270-degree crank’ yang berkeupayaan menghasilkan 50hp dan 39Nm. Angka kuasa itu sekaligus meletakkan CFMoto 450SR antara pesaing utama Kawasaki Ninja 400 (49hp) dan KTM RC390 (44hp).

Selain daripada enjin berkuasa, CFMoto 450SR juga datang dengan rekaan yang sporty dan agresif termasuk menawarkan ciri ‘winglet’ yang terdapat pada model prototaip SR-C21 sebelum ini.

Baru-baru ini, MForce turut memperkembangkan portfolio WMOTO di Malaysia menerusi pelancaran WMOTO Bobbie VII yang merupakan motosikal gaya retro moden dengan kapasiti enjin 700cc. 

*WMOTO Bobbie VII

Sewaktu pelancaran, MForce turut mendedahkan perancangan untuk memperkenalkan sebuah motosikal supermoped di bawah payung WMOTO. 

Memetik laporan rakan media, PanduLaju, pendedahan itu dibuat Ketua Pegawai Operasi MForce, Asri Ahmad. 

Jelasnya, supermoped itu akan dilancarkan sama ada hujung tahun ini atau awal tahun depan. Menariknya, model akan datang itu adalah jenis ‘high spec’ berbanding F-15 sedia ada yang merupakan model berspesifikasi rendah. 

*WMOTO F15

Tidak cukup dengan itu, supermoped tersebut juga boleh menggunakan komponen dan aksesori dari jenama Honda dan Yamaha di Malaysia sekaligus memberi kelebihan kepada pengguna.

Difahamkan, model tersebut masih dalam peringkat prototaip dan sedang dalam peringkat pembangunan di China. Meskipun begitu, rekaan model terbabit dihasilkan sepenuhnya pihak MForce sekaligus menjaminkan reka bentuk yang kena dengan cita rasa rakyat Malaysia. 

Lebih mencuri tumpuan, MForce bercadang untuk menyertai Kejuaraan Cub Prix pada tahun 2024 dengan model baharu itu. – PanduLaju

Bhd.

MForce Bike Holdings, the official distributor of QJMotor brand in Malaysia, is set to roll out three new motorcycles in November.

  • QJMotor SRK250RR, SRV250 and SRK250 to be available at authorized dealership beginning November 2022.
  • Alll model features the same 249cc two-cylinder engine. 

In an official statement, MForce will introduce the QJMotor SRK250RR, SRV250 and SRK250.

Despite the differences in styling and riding ergonomics, all three quarter-litre motorcycles feature the same 249cc two-cylinder 8-valve DOHC engine.

However, all models offer different engine tuning to best suit their purposes.

As a result, the SRK250 is the most powerful among the three, with 31.5hp @ 11,000rpm and 21.2Nm @ 9,000rpm. Meanwhile, the cruiser-style SRV250 makes 27.5hp @ 9,000rpm and 23Nm @ 7,000rpm. The engine is also tuned for a fiercer engine grunt. 

Next, the SRK250RR is intended for sportier riders, and as a result, the bike makes 25hp @ 8,500rpm and 24.1Nm @ 6,500rpm. The gear shift is also improved thanks to Assist/Slipper Clutch system. 

Spec-wise, the SRV250 gets inverted telescopic forks and dual-shock absorbers to allow for better stability on the road.

As usual, all three motorcycles feature LED lights and a digital LCD instrument display.

According to MForce, the SRK250RR is priced higher than the rest at RM18,888, while the SRV250 and SRK250 are available for RM16,888. 

Umum mengetahui bahawa MForce Bike Holdings tidak lama lagi akan memperkenalkan sebuah skuter urban ADV bernadikan enjin 250cc untuk pasaran tempatan.

Khabar angin untuk motosikal itu telah pun bertiup kencang dengan pihak MForce juga pernah mendedahkan ‘teaser’ skuter tersebut. Beberapa pengedar rasmi juga telah mula mengiklankan tempahan bagi skuter serba baharu itu.

Dalam perkembangan terbaru, kami dimaklumkan bahawa pra-pelancaran skuter ‘urban adventure’ 250cc itu telah pun berlangsung dan dipertontonkan kepada pengedar dan wakil MForce baru-baru ini.

Pra-pelancaran tersebut telah diadakan di Vietnam dan dihadiri pihak MForce serta wakil pengedar jenama itu di Malaysia.

Ini secara tidak langsung memberi bayangan bahawa skuter tersebut akan dilancarkan dalam masa terdekat.

Berdasarkan info yang dikongsikan, model tersebut membawa nama WMOTO XDV 250i dan merupakan versi lebih besar berbanding WMOTO Xtreme 150i sedia ada.

Namun, ketika Xtreme 150i dijenamakan semula dari model Lifan KPV 150, model 250cc itu pula dijenamakan semula daripada Longjia XDV 250Si dan dipasang sepenuhnya di Malaysia. 

Berdasarkan spesifikasi Longjia XDV 250Si, skuter tersebut dikuasakan enjin satu silinder 244.3cc SOHC dengan penyejukan cecair yang menawarkan 24.13hp pada 9,750rpm dan 22.5Nm pada 6,750rpm. 

Sistem suspensi pula hadir dengan fork depan Kayaba 37mm dan monoshock berkembar belakang juga dari Kayaba. Sistem brek pula dikawal fungsi ABS dwi-saluran dengan kaliper brek jenis radial J.Juan yang dipadankan bersama cakera brek 240mm depan dan 220mm belakang.

Ruang letak barang – dibawah tempat duduk – juga boleh memuatkan sebuah helmet ‘fullface’.

Selain itu, XDV 250i itu juga dilengkapi tangki 13.5L dengan berat sekitar 168kg, fungsi ‘smartkey’, slot pengecas USB dan port 12V, paparan skrin berwarna TFT serta penghadang angin boleh laras.

Menariknya, di pasaran China, skrin TFT tersebut boleh dihubungkan kepada telefon pintar namun belum dapat dipastikan sama ada fungsi tersebut akan dibawa pada WMOTO XDV 250i.
