On January 10, CFMOTO officially announced the launch of the 450MT 2026 in the Chinese market. The new model is offered in two versions: the Standard Edition priced at RMB 30,580, and the Three-Box Edition priced at RMB 32,580. As a key model in CFMOTO’s mid-displacement ADV lineup, the 450MT 2026 builds upon an already proven product foundation and strong market reputation, while further enhancing its performance, handling, and overall practicality.

Powered by the CF449cc Super Platform, Delivering Proven and Reliable Performance

The 450MT 2026 is built on CFMOTO’s mature CF449cc super platform and is powered by a liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine with a 270-degree crankshaft. Featuring a DOHC valvetrain and dual balance shafts, the engine delivers quick throttle response and a smooth, refined running character. With a compression ratio of 11.5:1, the engine produces a maximum output of 32.5 kW at 8,500 rpm and a peak torque of 44 N·m at 6,250 rpm, ensuring strong and versatile performance across a wide range of riding conditions.

Rugged Suspension and Wheel Setup for Challenging Terrain

In terms of off-road and adventure capability, the 450MT 2026 continues with a purpose-built, rugged configuration. The chassis is equipped with fully adjustable KYB inverted front forks and a KYB rear shock absorber with rebound adjustment, offering 200 mm of suspension travel at both the front and rear. This setup provides ample damping and ground clearance for demanding terrain. The wheel combination consists of a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear, paired with CST custom off-road tires, balancing traction and durability to maintain stable performance across various surfaces.

Comprehensive Safety Features with Rider-Controlled Electronics

For safety and control, the 450MT 2026 is fitted with Bosch traction control (TC) and rear-wheel ABS, both of which can be switched off with a single command to suit different riding scenarios. The braking system is supplied by J.Juan, featuring a 320 mm front disc with a radial-mounted four-piston caliper and a 240 mm rear floating disc. This configuration delivers consistent and controllable braking performance, even in complex terrain or emergency situations.

Rider-Friendly Ergonomics for Both Beginners and Experienced Riders

The 450MT 2026 is designed to accommodate both novice riders and those planning long-distance adventure touring. With a curb weight of 185 kg and a standard slipper clutch, the bike significantly reduces rider fatigue and improves overall controllability. The standard seat height is 820 mm and can be adjusted down to 800 mm, while aftermarket options allow it to be raised to 870 mm, ensuring accessibility for riders of different heights and enabling confident, easy operation straight from delivery.

Key Specifications and Color Options

The motorcycle measures 2,210 × 870 × 1,390 mm, with a wheelbase of 1,505 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 17.5 L, striking a practical balance between riding range and chassis stability. The 450MT 2026 is available in two color options—CFMOTO Blue and Starlight Black—both emphasizing its rugged adventure-oriented character.

With the official launch of the 2026 version, CFMOTO continues to strengthen its mid-displacement ADV portfolio. Thanks to its proven platform, robust hardware specifications, and relatively accessible pricing, the 450MT 2026 is expected to remain highly competitive in China’s mid-displacement adventure motorcycle segment.
