The new CFMOTO 300CL-X is now available in Australia! For $5990 rideaway, the new model looks to provide an affordable entry into motorcycling, check it out below...
CFMOTO‘s single-cylinder roadbike range has been widened with the arrival of the 300CL-X in Australia. The learner-approved 300CL-X adopts the same neo-retro styling as its larger-capacity parallel-twin sibling, the popular 700CL-X Heritage. Check it out!
The unique design not only represents a major point of differentiation from the two other CFMOTO 300cc singles – the 300SR sportsbike and the 300NK street fighter – but it also has an air of individuality compared to its more traditionally styled opposition.

The success of the 700CL-X Heritage since its Australian release two years ago provides an ideal launching pad for the compact 300CL-X, which is powered by a 292cc, fuel-injected, DOHC, single-cylinder engine.
Power and torque are the same as the 300NK: 20.5kW@8750rpm and 25Nm@7000rpm. The 300CL-X also benefits from upgraded engine mounts for less vibration, and has a forged piston to reduce weight and inertia. There’s a light-action slipper clutch for smoother down changes.
The 300CL-X has an upright riding position, CST tyres, ‘X element’ LED lighting, a round LCD dash with built-in T-Box technology to monitor vehicle status alongside the complimentary CFMOTO app. Pillions receive a plush seat, while riders get a low 795mm seat height and 150mm of ground clearance. Fuel capacity is 14.5 litres and the 300CL-X tracks on aluminium-alloy cast wheels and 17-inch rubber.
Colours are Nebula White and Nebula Black, and the retail price is $5990 rideaway! Michael Poynton from CFMOTO Australia is excited to release the model to the Australian public.
“We are rapt with the impending arrival of the 300CL-X,” said Michael Poynton, director of CFMOTO Australia. “We first saw this neo-retro design language in the 700CL-X Heritage, and to extend it into the LAMS domain with the 300CL-X makes perfect sense. There’s really nothing quite like it in the smaller-capacity classes and, with a proven chassis, engine and electronics thanks to all the hard work already done on the existing 300cc models, we are confident the 300CL-X will create a lot of interest.”
The all-new 300CL-X is available now, interested customers are encouraged to contact their local CFMOTO motorcycle dealer for more information or head here…
