At the core of the CFMOTO 450SR S lies highly acclaimed 449.5cc parallel twin engine. The 272MQ engine boasts a 270° crankshaft which CFMOTO says imitates the sound and feel of a 90º V-twin.
In contrast to the 360° and 180° parallel twin variants, the 270° crank provides a striking compromise between rocking couple and inertial forces with better primary balance than the 360° and a lower rocking couple than the 180°.
Key Engine Specifications:
- Max Power: 34.5kW@9250rpm
- Max Torque: 39.3N.m@7750rpm
- Power-to-Weight Ratio of 0.22

The 450SR S is set to hit the market during the first quarter of 2024 in two contemporary liveries – Zircon Black or Tundra Grey for a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $9,290 Ride Away.
