The 800NK is powered by a lively KTM-derived 799cc parallel-twin DOHC engine punching out a maximum output of 74kW(100.8hp)@ 9,000rpm with 81Nm@8,000rpm of torque.

Lightweight forged aluminium pistons and chrome ceramic-coated piston pins are employed to reduce piston weight and reduce reciprocating mass, resulting in a faster revving engine. The pistons are connected via forged cracked connecting rods for precision fit and increased service life. The lightweight 75° forged one-piece crankshaft with plain bearings also reduces the rotating masses inside the engine, improving the throttle response when accelerating or decelerating. CFMOTO say the 285° firing order creates a similar power delivery and sound characteristics of a V-twin engine.
CMFOTO say the CF-SC slipper clutch improves downshifts, preventing the rear wheel from sudden blocks and slipping when the vehicle brakes suddenly and decelerates. The 800NK Advanced is equipped with a bi-directional quickshifter.
The 800NK Advanced is equipped with a bi-directional quickshifter, enhancing the riding experience further with effortless gear changes.
While many competitors feature non-adjustable suspension, both 800NK models boast adjustable KYB components. The 43mm inverted forks feature a split function design for compression and rebound damping and adjustable spring preload.
A single rear shock features adjustable spring preload and rebound. The suspension has been tuned for optimal support in spirited sports riding without compromising comfort in normal riding conditions.
A chrome-molybdenum steel frame maintains rigidity balance and is matched with an aluminium swingarm for stability.

CFMOTO engineers strived to deliver a focused front-end feel with tailored flex characteristics to suit various riding conditions and styles. The bike’s lightweight design, tipping the scales at just 186kg (189kg Advanced).
Lightweight aluminium alloy wheels reduce unsprung weight. The Advanced variant is also fitted with a steering damper for enhanced stability.

A cruise control system assists with reducing rider fatigue, improves touring comfort, and is easily set and adjusted via buttons on the left switch block.
CFMOTO’s T-Box system enables smartphone connection via Bluetooth and the smartphone application. Through the CFMOTO RIDE App, the rider can access an array of features, including navigation, ride history and statistics; remote vehicle status, including a fuel indicator; the ability to conduct over-the-air (OTA) software updates; new security features, including movement sensors, vehicle location and even set up a virtual electric fence to alert you of vehicle movement or theft.
The 800NK Sport is equipped with a 5-inch TFT curved display with a wealth of information available at a glance via an easy-to-read layout, including a shift indicator.
The 800NK Advanced employs an 8-inch TFT full-laminated touchscreen display with an automotive-grade MCU, bringing clear visual effects and smooth operation like a tablet. This stunning display can be fully controlled via a voice activation system, external button operation, or glove touch, avoiding riders needing to remove their gloves when stopped. Moreover, the new touchscreen display supports Apple CarPlay projection, multimedia interaction and Bluetooth connectivity.
Another feature unique to the Advanced variant is the keyless start system. When the Bluetooth key is within 2 metres of the motorcycle, the righthand switch block can be used to power the ignition and start the bike.
