CFMOTO’s EICMA presentation celebrated three pillars: the brand’s growth over 35 years, its significant achievements in R&D, and its commitment to pushing the boundaries of powersport technology.
CFMOTO 675NK
CFMOTO unveiled the 675NK, based on the new 675SR-R’s triple-cylinder platform. This variant aims to captivate experienced riders with an evolved naked bike design. With ergonomic refinements, an agile steel tubular frame, and responsive LED lighting, the 675NK balances comfort and aerodynamics for a thrilling yet stable ride. Powered by CFMOTO’s newly developed triple-cylinder DOHC engine that produces 66kW at 11,000rpm with 68Nm of linear torque at 8,250rpm thanks to the 120-degree crankshaft. Accelerating to 100km/h in 3.9 seconds with a maximum speed of 200km/h.
For precise handling, fully adjustable 41mm KYB upside-down front forks and a single rear shock with adjustable preload and rebound are employed to absorb road imperfections with finesse. Paired with four-piston radial calipers, dual 300mm discs up front, and a single-piston caliper and 240mm disc on the rear to take care of braking duties. The 675NK combines high-tech features with performance-driven design. The 5” TFT display offers phone connectivity and a comprehensive interface to access information and adjust settings. Thanks to the T-Box’s 4G modules and 6D sensors, riders enjoy over-the-air (OTA) upgrades and seamless interaction through the CFMOTO RIDE app, enabling further customisation.
Enhanced safety features include dual-channel ABS and an adjustable traction control system, offering confidence at any speed. The 675NK’s versatility shines through its adjustable seat height (810mm std / 830mm high option / 795mm low option) and two striking colour options, Glacier White and Tundra Grey.
CF-X Electric Motocross Concept
CFMOTO also introduced its CF-X concept—a powerful electric motocross bike that offers instant torque and acceleration with output comparable to a conventional 450. Housed in an ultra-light frame optimised for agility and low centre of gravity, the CF-X boasts advanced electronics, allowing for customisation through three riding modes.
At the same time, WP suspension and premium race-ready components ensure high performance on track. A liquid-cooled radiator mounted to the rear of the layout guarantees flow and reliability.
Master of Speed – A Visionary Concept for Future Sportsbikes
Presenting an artistic glimpse into the future, the “Master of Speed” concept embodies CFMOTO’s commitment to the next era of sportsbikes. A bold, streamlined design highlights speed, control, and power. This concept bike signals CFMOTO’s ambitions for the premium supersports segment, combining elegant form with advanced engineering.
CFMOTO V.04 Engine Concept
CFMOTO unveiled the groundbreaking V.04 engine concept, an advancement that opens new segments for the brand. With a 997cc, 90-degree V4 engine (81mm bore x 48.4 stroke), titanium connecting rods and valve train components, and a counter-rotating crankshaft, the V.04 is claimed to produce 156 kW of power at 14,500 rpm and a peak torque of 114Nm at 12,500 rpm. Weighing just 61.5kg dry, the V.04 is exceptionally lightweight, optimising agility for racing applications, and features a counter-rotating crankshaft to enhance cornering performance and anti-wheelie effects for improved track performance.
