CFMOTO Australia has released the updated 2026 450SR-S with increased power, improved comfort features and enhanced build quality, while maintaining its sub-$10k ride-away price.
The popular LAMS-approved sports bike receives meaningful performance gains, with the 449cc parallel-twin engine now producing 38kW and 40Nm.
CFMOTO has focused on rider comfort and refinement for the update. A redesigned windscreen reduces wind pressure on the rider by 76 per cent, while throttle response has been improved through a variable-radius cable reel system that provides smoother initial inputs and more precise low-speed control. The quickshifter has received updated calibration for cleaner shifts.
The 2026 model carries over its Brembo braking hardware, 37mm upside-down forks with adjustable damping, and a single-sided swingarm. The bike continues to feature aerodynamic winglets and a five-inch full-colour TFT display with smartphone connectivity.
Material quality has been improved, with more durable and scratch-resistant seat material and enhanced textured body panels. Modern convenience features include a standard USB Type-C charging port and animated LED indicator sequences on startup and shutdown.
The 2026 450SR-S is available in two new colour options: Gem Black and Nebula White, both featuring CFMOTO’s signature teal accents.
The 449cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin features a 270-degree crankshaft configuration. The bike has a kerb weight of 171kg, seat height of 795mm and 14-litre fuel capacity.
The 2026 CFMOTO 450SR-S is available now from $9590 rideaway. CFMOTO’s three-year warranty program applies.
