CFMOTO has today revealed that its all-new 800MT-X middleweight adventure bike will hit Australian showrooms in February with an introductory price of $14,990 rideaway.
The CFMOTO 800MT-X is positioned as an off-road-focussed midsized adventure bike with its rally-style design, long-travel suspension, 21-inch front wheel and one-piece seat.
The bike is motivated by a familiar KTM-derived 799cc parallel-twin engine, generating 70kW and 87Nm. This translates to a 10Nm boost in torque compared to the platform-sharing 800MT stablemate.
A strong electronics suits sees a six-axis IMU to offer lean-angle-sensitive ABS and traction control, while the bike is also equipped with an up/down quickshifter, tyre-pressure monitoring, a power-assisted slipper clutch and a 7-inch portrait TFT dash.
The suspension package sees 48mm upside-down forks and a rear monoshock providing 230mm of travel at both ends.
Also bolstering its off-road credentials are 21- and 18-inch wire-spoked wheels wrapped in block-pattern dual-sport tyres.
The bike tips the scales at 220 kilograms with the 22.5-litre fuel tank filled.
Other notable feature include an adjustable windscreen, steering damper, LED lighting, and cruise control.
The bike offers an affordable entry into the popular segment occupied by heavy hitters like the Yamaha Tenere 700, Aprilia Tuareg 660 and KTM 890 Adventure.
The CFMOTO 800MT-X will be available from $14,990 rideaway in February, before rising to $15,990 in July when the introductory launch offer ends.
Two colours are available, Zephyr Blue and Nebula Black. Customers who purchase an 800MT-X before March 31 will receive a complimentary CFMOTO helmet valued at $299.
