The cutting-edge of naked perfection
Ergonomics and Handling
Economically, the 800NK ADVANCED shares the same stream-lined muscular proportions, and rider triangle as the 800NK SPORT, with the fairing providing purposeful protection to key cooling parts, adding to the overall appearance and design.
However, the 800NK ADVANCED tips the scales a few kilograms heavier than the SPORT at 189 kg on account of key additional components, while the ultra-strong, lightweight chrome-molybdenum alloy steel frame remains. This ensures an optimal balance of rigidity, safety, and stability, seamlessly integrating with rider inputs.
Designed to straddle the line between aggressive sporty riding and the comfort of everyday commuting, the CFMOTO 800NK ADVANCED makes use of an aluminum alloy split handlebar for an optimal upright riding position, while a 795 mm standard seat height with a narrow seat cushion facilitates easier ground contact for riders. Additionally, an optional 820 mm seat is also available for taller rides.
Engine
Power comes courtesy of a Euro5 specification parallel twin-cylinder producing 95 HP/ 9250 rpm and a peak torque figure of 79 Nm/ 8000 rpm. This allows the CFMOTO 800NK ADVANCED to charge through the gears towards an impressive 10,500 rpm, and onto a top speed of more than 220 km/h.
A 285° crankshaft angle, linear power spread, and dual-balance shafts provide excellent vibration suppression, as well as instilling the 800NK ADVANCED with a robust and throaty engine note. Moreso, the dual-balance shafts also reduce vibration transferred to the frame itself, allowing the engine to be used as a part of the frame's load-bearing construction, reducing overall weight.
Allowing the engine to breathe easier, the air filter box with integrated air intake is positioned under the seat cushion, enhancing intake efficiency, and providing quick and easy air filter maintenance.
Chassis, Brakes, and Suspension
The CFMOTO 800NK ADVANCED features premium chassis components that have been carefully designed and selected to ensure sporty handling characteristics and user comfort. Upfront, a fully adjustable KYB 43 mm upside-down fork works perfectly with the 74 mm KYB damping adjustable, center-aligned KYB rear shock absorber to provide unmatched rider feedback, traction, and control, without compromising on comfort.
A lightweight aluminum alloy wheel and high-performance MAXXIS tires combination – 180/55 R17 on the rear and 120/60 R17 on the front – further enforce the 800NK ADVANCED’s sporty character, with high grip and high-speed stability, withing together to effectively reduce unsprung weight aiding in quicker reactions to handlebar inputs and agility.
These are paired to dual 320 mm J.JUAN discs and 4-piston radial calipers up front and a 260 mm disc on the rear, with BOSCH ABS as standard, providing controlled braking force at all times and weather conditions.
Rider Aids
Staying true to its rider-first approach, the CFMOTO 800NK ADVANCED boasts a number of rider aids aimed at providing the best overall riding experience.
Thanks to the well-tuned ride-by-wire system, the 800NK ADVANCED offers riders three riding modes: STREET, RAIN, and SPORT. With STREET MODE as the default, SPORT, and RAIN provide different throttle responses and power delivery behaviors to suit conditions and riding styles.
A quickshifter is also included in the 800NK ADVANCED package, allowing for clutchless up-and-down shifts, resulting in quicker acceleration, while an F-SC slipper clutch significantly improves downshifts, limiting rear-wheel slip when gearing down, without any concern of the rear wheel locking up.
Lastly, a steering damper enhances stability at speed riding and prevents the front end from wobbling or shaking in the event of uneven road surfaces, while cruise control is also fitted as standard, and allows for easier open road riding at the press of a button.
Connectivity and Riding Experience
As the flagship model of the CFMOTO NK range, the 800NK ADVANCED features a forward-looking technological outlook, merging on-bike componentry with off-bike smart technology.
Using the CFMOTO RIDE mobile app on a smartphone and the Multi-media TTF system on the vehicle, owners can access a full range of features, from dashboard personalization to fatigue alerts, and more.
This can be accessed via smartphone or via the MMI system on the CFMOTO 800NK ADVANCED’s 8-inch TFT full-laminated and waterproof display. This provides a range of functions, including offline map navigation, Apple CarPlay® compatibility, Bluetooth calls, and a full multi-media center. The MMI also benefits from over-the-air (OTA) software upgrades, ensuring it remains up-to-date without needing to visit a dealer. This means the software is automatically updated when an open Wi-Fi network is accessed. More details on this and other features can be found in the owner's manual.
A vehicle positioning system is also included, which lends itself to another layer of safety, ensuring owners can keep track of where their CFMOTO 800NK ADVANCED is at all times. Should there be any abnormality, an alarm with sound via the CFMOTO smartphone App.
The CFMOTO 800NK ADVANCED also boasts Keyless start, follow-you-home lights, and automatic headlights, that can intelligently recognize changes in the environment and adjust accordingly, as well as Ambient light, which changes to different colors in accordance with the state of the vehicle.
The T-BOX provides an additional level of insolence to the CFMOTO 800NK ADVANCED by accurately realizing vehicle-phone interconnection and can achieve real-time viewing of stationary vehicles or race track position, via the CFMOTO app.
