Boasting enhanced off-road capability, the all-new 2025 CFMOTO 800MT-X is headed for Australian shores very soon.
The bike – which shares its engine and chassis with the KTM 790 Adventure platform – will land Down Under with an introductory price of $14,990 ride away. That puts it on par with the 800MT Touring and $2k cheaper than the up-spec 800MT Explore.
But the 800MT-X is a very different bike to its siblings. For starters, it features a low-slung 22.5L fuel tank in the same style as KTM’s parallel-twin adventure machines.
Also new is the fully adjustable YU’AN fork and shock, which each offer 230mm of travel front and rear, and the 21- and 18-inch wheel combo with CST Ambro A4 rubber.
Braking is handled by J.Juan with dual 320mm front discs and a single 260mm rear disc, and the bike is also fitted with Bosch cornering optimised ABS.
Other tech includes a vertical 7-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity, a 6-axis IMU with switchable ABS and traction control, cruise control a quickshifter, and a power-assist slipper clutch.
The 800MT-X is expected to hit dealer floors from late February. The special introductory price also includes 12 months of registration and a three-year warranty, but pricing will revert to $15,990 ride away from July 1.
CFMOTO is expected to launch the 800MT-X to media soon, so stay tuned for a review on bikesales.com.au.
