Want to know more about the upcoming CFMoto 800MT? Here are all the details down below.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • CFMoto has finally revealed the upcoming adventure tourer bike known as CFMoto 800MT.
  • It will be available with a 799cc twin-cylinder engine that produces 94HP and 77.28Nm.
  • Multiple features such as LED lighting setup and 7.0-inch TFT instrument console are available on the upcoming bike.

In terms of design, it is available with a sleek LED headlight and adjustable wind visor. Do not get confused as the two lights beneath are not the indicators. Instead, they are the auxiliary lights that will enhance visibility while riding at night. Similarly, a sculpted fuel tank, skid-plate and cast aluminium alloy wheels are available as standard. Meanwhile, customers who will opt for the off-road-oriented variant will get spoke wheels.

Feature-wise, CFMoto is expected to offer a 7.0-inch TFT instrument console. For now, it will be available with navigation and multiple ride modes that can be toggled through this display. For safety, the upcoming 800MT will be available with traction control, cornering ABS, disc brakes, ride by wire throttle, etc.

Based on the tubular steel frame, it will be available with a KYB suspension setup and J.Juan brakes, unlike the KTM. To be precise, the 790 Adventure uses Bremo brakes and a WP suspension setup that is also known to be the best in class.

The engine that powers the all-new CFMoto 800MT is a KTM sourced LC8c 799cc twin-cylinder unit. To be precise, it is the same engine that powers KTM 790 Adventure as well. Talking in numbers, it is tuned to produce 94HP and 77.28Nm which is lesser than what we see on the 790 Adventure.

Details regarding its price have not been revealed by the bike manufacturer yet. However, CFMoto is expected to reveal the price and other updates on the day of its launch itself.

Alternatives

When launched in India, CFMoto 800MT will go head-on against the likes of Triumph Tiger 850 Sport and Ducati Multistrada 950. Want to know more about its rival? Take a look at the all-new Triumph Tiger 850 Sport.
