CFMOTO 700CL-X Adventure looming
The third and final instalment in the company’s new 700CL-X twin-cylinder range is Aussie bound, boasting some unique adventure-style attributesIt’s been quite an elongated process, but CFMOTO Australia has announced the 700CL-X Adventure – the third instalment in the marque’s new middleweight full-powered range – will finally go on sale in the final quarter of 2022.
Price is yet to be announced but expect the machine to nestle somewhere around the $10K mark (ride away).
The 700CL-X Adventure shares the same twin-cylinder engine and chassis as its two siblings, the 700CL-X Heritage and 700CL-X Sport, but it then makes a diversion with its spoked wheels, Pirelli Rally STR Scorpion rubber, a higher handlebar, more ground clearance and a taller seat.
The windshield is an addition, while the front mudguard is bigger, beefier and mounted higher to add another layer of adventure readiness.
There’s a single disc front end, mated to a J.Juan caliper.
“We’re extremely excited about the impending arrival of the 700CLX Adventure,” said Michael Poynton, the director of CFMOTO Australia.
“The Heritage and Sport have won over plenty of admirers with their level of performance and extraordinary value proposition, and the Adventure will obviously inherit those attributes as well the ability to dial up the off-road fun.
“The Adventure continues CFMOTO’s expansion into the full-power motorcycle ranks, and that’s just the thin end of the wedge: the next few years are going to be very exciting.”

In terms of overall spec, the Adventure has closer ties to the Heritage – which first went on sale locally in July 2021, followed a few months later by the Sport.
However, the Adventure has a taller seat (830mm versus 800mm) than the Heritage, 10mm more ground clearance and slightly more girth in terms of length, width and height.
The parallel-twin engine in the CL-X range delivers 73hp (55kW) at 8500rpm and 68Nm at 6500rpm, and standard family features include a ride-by-wire throttle, cruise control, dual-channel Continental anti-lock braking, KYB suspension, ‘Sport’ and ‘Economy’ riding modes, full LED lighting, USB charging and an adaptive headlight.
