CFMoto 450 MT is set to shake up the adventure bike segment, and it’s doing it with precision. Lightweight, powerful, and tailored for riders of all sizes—especially shorter ones—this motorcycle is fast becoming one of the most anticipated launches of the year. Here’s everything that makes it a serious game changer.
A Lightweight Body That Boosts Rider Confidence
One of the most talked-about features of the CFMoto 450 MT is its dry weight—just 175 kg. That makes it significantly lighter than most ADVs in its class. For new riders or those transitioning from smaller bikes, this lightweight build means easier handling, better maneuverability in traffic, and less fatigue on long rides.
Adjustable 820 mm Seat Designed for Short Riders
Accessibility is key, and CFMoto 450 MT gets it right with its adjustable seat height. The stock seat is set at 820 mm, but it can be lowered to around 800 mm, making it ideal for riders around 5’5” tall. That small change has a big impact on comfort and confidence, especially during city commutes or when riding in tricky terrain.
Purpose-Built for Adventure
This isn’t just a commuter disguised as an adventure bike. The CFMoto 450 MT comes with long-travel suspension, dual-purpose tires, and high ground clearance—giving it true off-road capability. Whether you’re exploring backroads or planning weekend getaways, this machine is built to take it all on.
Engine That Delivers Real-World Performance
Powering the CFMoto 450 MT is a 449 cc parallel-twin engine, delivering 44 hp and 44 Nm of torque. That translates to smooth city rides, powerful highway cruising, and the ability to handle hills and trails with ease. The six-speed gearbox is paired with a slipper clutch for a smoother ride even in stop-and-go traffic.
Packed with Modern Features
Despite its rugged nature, the bike doesn’t skip on tech. Expect a digital TFT instrument cluster, LED lighting, dual-channel ABS, and possibly Bluetooth connectivity. The design is clean and aggressive, giving it a premium look that stands out on the road.
Will It Be the Best Value Adventure Bike?
With a potential launch price around ₹4 lakh (ex-showroom), the CFMoto 450 MT is expected to undercut rivals like the KTM 390 Adventure and Himalayan 450. If pricing lands right, this could become one of the best all-rounder bikes for those wanting a true ADV experience without the bulk or high seat height.
