CFMOTO drive technology onwards with comprehensive spread at 2024 EICMA show!

The innovative brand is throwing a light on the future with a tech driven line-up

CFMOTO, one of the fastest growing powered two-wheel powersport manufacturer, brought its passionate drive for eye-catching design and advanced technology to the biggest stage of all. CFMOTO was among the heavy hitters of the industry at the EICMA show in Milan, Italy from November 5-10 for the 110th edition of the largest attended annual motorcycle expo in the world, with over half a million visitors walking through the doors of the Fiera Milano.

The company constructed a large and attractive show stand to display five new exciting models, two promising prototypes and countless updates to the existing model lineup.
The firm from Hangzhou, China ‘started their engines’ at EICMA with two press conferences delivered to a packed eclectic gathering of media, dealers and other guests, before the entrance gates were activated for the public.

CFMOTO were pushing their ‘Tech Driven’ mantra for EICMA with the unveiling of new motorcycles and an engine concept as well as four-wheel vehicles for 2025, with which CFMOTO hope to build on their position and reputation as market leaders in the sector. The presentations were made by Markus Ferch (CFMOTO VP Europe) and Carles Solsona (CFMOTO Design Director) but there was also a special guest of honor with CFMOTO’s brilliant record-breaking Moto3 World Champion, David Alonso, also making an appearance with his CFMOTO Aspar Team prior to the last Grand Prix of an outstanding season in MotoGP at Barcelona, Spain. CFMOTO have conquered the Moto3 class in only their third campaign at the highest level.

EICMA was a celebration of three main strands for CFMOTO. The first was the company’s growth and emergence in 35 years of history. Secondly, present achievements with R&D and engineering and the growing portfolio of exciting motorcycles, such as the Moto3 title. Thirdly the declaration of full commitment to the future with fresh ideas and the imagination to inspire a wider, fresh group of mobile users.

675SR-R

The first covers to be pulled away under the EICMA lights revealed the stunning 675SR-R. Clearly boasting a virulent sport DNA through its design, aggressive lines and lighting layout, the bike also has the performance potential to be a rocket on the road and a toy for the track.

The triple cylinder 4-stroke liquid-cooled DOHC motor pumps out addictive linear torque thanks to the 120-degree crank and taps-out at 68Nm at 8250rpm. It’ll take only 3.6 seconds to reach 100kmph and has a maximum speed of 220kmph. Power peaks at a hefty 66kW at 11,000rpm. The 675SR-R is tuned to thrill while optimization of the engine package virtually erases vibration and ensure exhilaration as the rider clicks up through the Quickshifter. The engine is wrapped in a high-strength chromium-molybdenum frame (with an integral cast steel base) to achieve the best balance between light weight and maximum maneuverability.

The ergonomics are purposeful and ‘racey’ but also fine-tuned for comfort and practicality for a daily ride. Absorption through tricky road bumps is controlled with finesse by fully adjustable upside-down KYB 41mm front forks and rear shock. 300mm and 240mm disc brakes provide steady and efficient stopping power while the dual-compound sports tires are the durable ‘glue’ for a variety of street surfaces.

The 675SR-R may look like a performance tool orientated for one purpose but the motorcycle carries a high-tech intelligent edge. Check out the 5” TFT with MotoPlay, gear change guidelights and a comprehensive interface to handle the information and settings from the 4G modules and 6D sensors of the ‘T-box’. OTA upgrades for the electronics and bike’s status is easily possible through the CFMOTO RIDE app where more customization is possible.

675NK

Adopting the same engine platform as the 675SR-R, the 675NK is the second generation of CFMOTO’s exceptional naked bike family and orientated to more mature riders and customers that expect an elevated product in this thriving segment.

Refinements to the bodywork permits the rider to move around for both comfort and wind resistance and the ergonomics are acutely aligned with the light alloy steel tubular frame for superb agility and the perception of fun without losing stability and assurance into any curve. The design of the LED lighting group is not only aesthetic but also responsive to rider reactions to better inform other road users (more rapid flashes).

Safety is emphasized through the dual-channel ABS and 2-level adjustable traction control as standard. The 675NK’s powerbase permits a more mellow 200kmph top speed and 11,000rpm compared its sporty cousin, although the beat from 0-100kmph happens at a similar rate: 3.9 seconds.

The 5” TFT contains the same array of features and interactivity as the 675SR-R: CFMOTO RIDE app synergy, OTA upgrades, T-box, Google Maps availability. But also has a tire pressure monitoring system included. Riders can expect a seat height of 810mm but this can be increased to 825mm or lower to 795mm with optional accessories. The 675NK is unmissable, whether in Glacier White or Tundra Gray.

CF-X

CFMOTO raised eyebrows with the introduction of the CF-X electric motocross concept while making a nod to the outstanding design and innovation philosophy conveyed by the ZEEHO brand. The CF-X has been created around the principals of enjoyable, competitive but also safe offroading: ‘experience more together’. The strength of the project filters through the benefits of zero emissions and the performance advantages of instant torque and acceleration and an immediate adrenaline hit. The CF-X can conjure the output of a 450cc ICE equivalent through the motor that also forms part of the handling package. Fabrication of the CF-X ‘ideal’ led to priorities of a high strength but ultra-light frame with a low center of gravity and acute centralization for prime agility. 310mm adjustable WP Suspension will take care of bumps and jumps and the ergonomics is orientated towards competition and limit-pushing from a 960mm seat height. Quality and precision as well as fine engineering is felt through every gram of the 125kg weight and the sturdiness of the high-end race-ready components. Advanced electronics for monitoring, personalization of three riding models and maintenance of the 3-1 400V drive system, propelling the rider to 50kmph in rapid time is also a highlight.

A liquid-cooled radiator mounted to the rear of the layout guarantees flow and optimization. Importantly, the CF-X styling shines a light on CFMOTO’s booming racing pedigree. The work is another excellent expression by the design department, forcing dynamism and efficiency to the forefront of any rider.

MASTER OF SPEED

A gesture, a clue and an intention. MASTER OF SPEED is an artistic celebration of speed and dynamism as well as a spiritual vision of a future CFMOTO high-level sportsbike.

Lines, fluidity and form: the imposing shape and polished surfaces reflect the pursuit of excellence and innovation, while the overall composition inspires a sense of lightness and control, of strength and precision. MASTER OF SPEED is a thought-provoking reminder that moving is being.

V.04

CFMOTO are going big. The announcement of the landmark V.04 engine development will mark a new product phase for the company and increase the scope of the CFMOTO portfolio to other segments of the market; areas where CFMOTO feels it can make an imprint. Details were revealed with the 90-degree V4 configuration, 997cc displacement, 81mm and 48.4 stroke. The projected power output is pegged at a figure over 156kW through 14,500rpm and expected maximum torque 114Nm.

Each component has been forged for uncompromising performance: balance, minimal vibration, linear delivery and smoothness. Finger followers are a notable inclusion for the output and the blend of lightness and strength is achieved with titanium connecting rods, intake and exhaust valves for peak potential but also reliability. The counter-rotating crankshaft is an example of the hardware and learning derived from elite competition like MotoGP. The V.04 is yet another way in which CFMOTO are explicitly ‘tech driven’.

Before the public in Milan were able to touch and see the full spectrum of CFMOTO’s ‘Tech Driven’ offerings, Markus Ferch brought the formalities to a close for media and invited guests. “The models showcased at this year’s EICMA represent not only the results of CFMOTO’s continuous innovation in design, and technological breakthroughs but also reflect the company’s understanding of the trends in the motorcycle market, as well as its profound insights into the future of mobility,” he said. “CFMOTO will continue to lead with technological innovation, more high-performance, high-quality, and high-value products that exceed customer expectations in the global market.”
