CF Moto presents the new 450 MT
The Chinese advance in the world of two wheels seems truly unstoppable. And if in the past the attractive price was at odds with a general construction quality that was almost never capable of reaching sufficiency, now the wind has changed. Of course, renowned brands with centuries-old know-how still have many weapons at their disposal, but it is also true that the the gap that divides them is increasingly thin.
Specifically, the novelty from the Chinese CF Moto, the off-road 450 MT, the product presented to the European public certainly does not disappoint expectations, on the contrary. Let’s immediately talk about the most important factor regarding motorcycles of Chinese origin, namely the price: 5,990 euros ex dealer. The price list is truly competitive, almost the lowest price in the entire segment, as often happens with two-wheelers made in China.
We are talking about a road enduro that is also well suited to light off-road use. The CF 450 MT is powered by a 449 cc parallel twin with 270 degree timing and dual shaft transmission. The power it is capable of releasing is not much, let’s talk about 32.5 kW and 44 Nm of torque, but enough to move the Chinese enduro with agility. The engine, in fact, runs smoothly and to get the right torque and punch you have to tighten its neck a bit at high revs.
