Innovation ignites excitement at EICMA 2023

125NK CONCEPT: Next Generation of Cut the edge



The 125NK CONCEPT’s identity is immediate and draws design inspiration from the NK-C22 Concept bike. A single-sided swingarm highlights the carbon fibre cover on the rear wheel, while attention is drawn to the slim tailpiece that flows to the rider’s seat, beside which a sporty exhaust system underlines the sharp silhouette of the bodywork. The muscular shoulders of the tank are enhanced by unique side panels that widen to the front, drawing eyes to the signature CFMOTO LED headlight.


A carbon fibre air duct at the front end screams performance and gives a nod to its larger capacity siblings, with the front mudguard representing the instantly recognisable signature detail of the NK family. These modern aesthetics are enhanced by a vibrant colour scheme that effectively sharpens the design features of this Concept bike. The 125NK CONCEPT stands as one of the most anticipated products in the CFMOTO line up, growing the NK family and set to win the heart of young two-wheel enthusiasts.



The MT-X CONCEPT is a manifesto of the adventures that await. A unique combination of stylish graphics and vibrant colours provide suitable personality to a capable machine like the MT-X Concept: the octanium blue and fluoro accent simultaneously represents the CFMOTO racing spirit, alongside the brand's fun, playful personality.


Lighting the way up front is a full LED headlight, with vertical 8” TFT touchscreen dash that references navigation towers found in the rally world, cementing the MT-X Concept's overall design inspiration drawn from the most capable rally racers. From form to fuction, the 21” front wheel, high ground clearance and vast suspension travel are crucial features to overcome every obstacle that lies ahead. The rear sidepanels, a flat rider seat and a slim tail unit further the off-road DNA that makes up the MT-X Concept.

The adventure style fuel tank sits in a lower position than any MT model that has come before, giving a lower centre of gravity to optmise stability and improving handling - day to day and when the terrain gets treacherous. No boundaries exist that can contain the limitless desire for adventure administered by the ultimate Explorer Machine.



675 Engine: The first three-cylinder engine developed by CFMOTO

The 675cc three-cylinder powerplant is a completely new in-house project with low weight, high durability, rapid acceleration (due to a low inertia crank) and smooth delivery (due to the FCC slipper clutch) that will be the base of exciting new models released in 2024. The engine will deliver a maximum torque of 68 Nm at 8250 rpm, maximum power of over 100 HP and will reach a peak at 12,300 rpm. These impressive numbers will lead our new vehicles to a very respectable 0-100 km/h acceleration in just in three seconds.

The unit has been developed to reach a 10 per cent weight reduction compared to similar motors, weighing in 55kg. Forged aluminum pistons contribute to an eight per cent more strength compared to those that are not forged.

450MT: Off-road Adventuring with a punch


CFMOTO’s proven and successful 449cc parallel twin platform has been tuned for the fun and excitement of adventure riding. The 450MT’s engine delivers 32.5kW at 8,500 rpm and 44 Nm at 6,250 rpm, while dual balance shafts improve the smoothness of the throttle response, drastically reducing the vibrations. With a 270° crankshaft, the distinctive sound of the CFMOTO engine thrills the pilot with every acceleration, in every situation. The rider experience is also made incredibly easy thanks to the 450MT's 175kg dry weight. 

Handling on and off-road is seamless with 200mm travel offered by the KYB suspension, with adjustable preload and 20 levels of damping. Delivered through high handlebars and specially designed footpegs, the ergonomics are finely tuned and developed to provide comfort cruising on the tarmac, while guaranteeing full control on the roughest trails.


The 450MT's off-road soul is expressed through the technical spec, its rally inspired bodywork and styling; 90/90-21” front wheel and 140/70-18” rear, 220mm ground clearance and 820mm seat height (800 mm with optional lower seat).

Allowing customised performance and enhanced off-road capability, the BOSCH dual-channel ABS can be turned off on the rear wheel through a dedicated button on the switchgear. The BOSCH Traction Control System can also be disengaged through the Bluetooth ready, curved 5” TFT colour display.


800NK GP: Ready to hit the track


As the most powerful naked bike of the NK range, the 800NK GP is inspired by and infused with the ambition of CFMOTO’s Moto3™ racing project. The 800NK GP is ready to hit the track with a sporty riding position and elite technical features, from the same suppliers that support the race team.

From tyres to brakes, high-end adjustable suspension, slip-on exhaust, raised footrests, lowered handlebars, CNC machined parts, fork and swingarm protection and a single seat configuration. All of the above delivering proof that everything about the 800NK GP is race focused - not just the special Moto3™ livery it wears so well.



Custom Works: CL-C LOW RIDE and CL-X SPIRIT

Introducing a fresh custom vibe, the new 450CL-C LOW RIDE brings "Cool Life Cruising" to the proven neo-classic family from which it was conceived - the 700CL-X family - and makes its first ever appearance on European soil at EICMA. Innovation, expression and design are at the heart of CFMOTO, passions that combined to create Custom Works.

The CL-C LOW RIDE takes riders to another level of cool. The bobber style rear end is enhanced by the lenticular rim, wrapped in a wide rear tyre, while the sleek single-seat configuration is embellished by contrasting stitching. The aggressive attitude of the LOW RIDE is enhanced by a twin high-level exhaust system, while the engine casings comtinue the monochrome theme, accentuating bike's colour scheme.

EICMA 2023 brings the latest member of the CL-X family to the front of the stage - the CL-X SPIRIT. Custom scrambler style is delivered from every angle: from the twin high-level exhaust mounted alongside a redesigned brown leather seat, to the off-road inspired spoked wheels that roll on dual purpose tyres. The custom vibes continue with a fresh two-tone paint scheme with gold coachlines that pefectly highlight the tubular chassis, while updated suspension and brakes fuse function to its beautiful form.
