The 2026 CFMOTO 450MT successfully fills the 'lightweight yet capable' gap that adventure enthusiasts have long craved. At its heart lies a 449.5cc parallel-twin engine with a 270-degree crankshaft, delivering V-twin-like torque characteristics essential for off-road traction. Producing 44 hp at 8,500 rpm and 44 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm, this unit features dual counterbalancers to minimize vibrations, significantly enhancing long-distance touring comfort.
The chassis is constructed from high-tensile steel to withstand rigorous off-road use. With 200mm of KYB suspension travel at both ends and a generous 220mm ground clearance, the 450MT is built to conquer technical terrain. The 21-inch front and 18-inch rear tubeless spoked wheel combination meets the gold standard for serious adventure bikes. Braking is handled by J.Juan calipers paired with a Bosch dual-channel ABS system. Crucially, the rear ABS can be deactivated via a dedicated handlebar switch, giving riders total control in dirt conditions.
On the technology front, the bike features a 5-inch curved TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity and OTA (Over-The-Air) update support. Practical features like a one-hand adjustable windshield, folding mirrors, and standard crash bars make the 450MT adventure-ready straight from the showroom. Weighing in at just 175 kg dry, it remains one of the most agile bikes in its class. For the 2026 model year, it continues to impress with new color schemes and optimized electronics, solidifying its position as a top contender in the middleweight segment.
