CFMOTO began 2025 with full throttle and a clear ambition. The mission to expand further with products that will excite and enthuse the international market continues unabated. The year kicked off with an impressive global launch in Western Europe as the first statement of a busy and promising year.

Hundreds of media, key CFMOTO staff and business contacts gathered for several days at the multi-faceted venue of Portimão in Portugal. The beautiful Algarve International Circuit, the off-road routes around the motorsport complex and the winding roads in the hilly landscape provided the ideal stage to discover and intensively test the latest motorbikes and vehicles.

The event kicked off with a comprehensive presentation by Markus Ferch, Vice President Sales for Europe at CFMOTO. He explained how the company achieved an impressive growth of 21% in 2024 and crossed a profit threshold of US$1.6 billion in the first half of the year. This success is due to a strong global dealer network, a growing customer base and an investment of over US$100 million in product development (nearly 7% of total sales). These investments are spread across four R&D centres in China, the US and Italy. In addition, production capacity has been increased at the six factories in China and Thailand.

Markus also looked back at some major milestones of 2024: the 35th anniversary of CFMOTO, the production of the millionth ORV, winning the rider, team and manufacturer championships in the Moto3 class (part of MotoGP) and a top-five finish in the Quad category of the Dakar Rally.

CFMOTO's 2-wheel Design Director, Carles Solsona, then presented the 675 engine platform: a brand new three-cylinder at the heart of a generation of standout motorbikes in the mid-range segment. The DOHC liquid-cooled 675 combines the low-end torque of a two-cylinder with the smooth power delivery of a four-cylinder, delivering 66kW at 11,000 rpm with maximum torque of 68Nm at 8250 rpm. This internally developed engine is compact and light, over 1 kg lighter than competitors in the same segment thanks to its efficient construction and materials. The engine meets Euro 5+ standards effortlessly, an aspect CFMOTO is proud of and a focal point of product development for 2025.

675SR-R

The highlight of the presentation was undoubtedly the unveiling of the 675SR-R under the bright lights of the Algarve International Circuit. This model is designed to get the adrenaline going both on the street and on the track. Its aerodynamic design, flowing lines and aggressive look impress immediately. The 675cc three-cylinder delivers a top speed of 220 km/h and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds. Thanks to its race-oriented chassis, aluminium swingarm and underlying muffler, the 675SR-R is a thoroughbred sports bike.

The model features the latest technology, including ABS with adjustable traction control, several riding modes and a 5-inch TFT screen. The KYB suspension is fully adjustable, and the 300mm and 240mm brake discs provide impressive stopping power. In addition, the 675SR-R features a quickshifter and a reversible gearbox for track use. With an optional T-Box and the CFMOTO RIDE app, riders can benefit from GPS functionalities and OTA updates. The bike is released in Aerolite Grey, Nebula Black and Nebula White, with a futuristic LED lighting system that includes more than 100 light points.

675NK

The 675NK brings the powerful 675cc engine to CFMOTO's naked bike range. This model combines advanced technology with a sleek and modern design. Weighing 189 kg, the 675NK offers a balanced riding experience with a quickshifter and an optimised power-to-weight ratio for impressive acceleration and control.

The suspension is fully adjustable, with 41mm USD front forks and a monoshock rear suspension for an optimal balance between sportiness and comfort. Dual brake discs (300mm front, 240mm rear) with four-piston calipers provide excellent stopping power. The model features two riding modes, traction control and a dual ABS system for maximum safety. The 675NK has an advanced 5-inch TFT screen with MotoPlay projection and CFMOTO RIDE app integration, giving riders easy access to ride data and navigation. The aerodynamic design has been developed for both style and functionality, with a 15L fuel tank for excellent range and a seat height of 810mm for wide accessibility. Available in Glacier White and Tundra Grey, the 675NK comes standard with LED lighting and TPMS for tyre pressure monitoring.

125NK

With the 125NK, CFMOTO targets the entry-level class. This model combines the DNA of the NK series with a focus on maximum efficiency and riding fun. The 'Fun Machine', as it is called, has an aggressive yet sleek design and is compact and light (142 kg). The 11kW single-cylinder Euro5+ engine delivers 11Nm of torque at 8500 rpm, providing a smooth and playful driving experience.

The model features 41mm USD front forks, an adjustable monoshock and dual disc brakes (292/220mm) with ABS and traction control. LED lighting and modern styling make the 125NK a standout in its segment.

700MT 

Besides the NK models, the new 700MT was also launched in Portugal. The 700MT is an adventure touring motorbike suitable for both commuting and long-distance travel. It is powered by a 693cc parallel-twin, optimised for smooth power and robust pulling power. The 19/17-inch wheel configuration ensures stability on paved and unpaved roads, while the 20L fuel tank provides considerable range.

The 700MT's ergonomics are designed for maximum comfort, with a low seat height of 800mm, wide handlebars and an adjustable windshield for optimal protection from riding wind. The model features fully adjustable 43mm upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock, providing balanced damping and customisable riding experience on different terrains.

The safety system includes switchable ABS and traction control, giving riders extra grip and stability under varying riding conditions. In addition, the 700MT features modern technology such as a TFT dashboard with smartphone connectivity, multiple riding modes and a quickshifter for smooth shifting. Various accessories are available, such as heated grips, aluminium side panniers and crash bars, to further tailor the bike to travel adventures. The bike offers excellent ergonomics with a low seat height of 800mm, adjustable windscreen and various accessories like heated grips and saddles. ABS and traction control are switchable, and the bike is equipped with fully adjustable 43mm suspension and a robust trellis frame construction for maximum stability and comfort.

800MT-X

For riders who want to go further off-road, CFMOTO introduces the 800MT-X.

Designed for rougher work, the 800MT-X offers a 60-40% offroad/onroad balancer. This model has 10Nm more torque (87Nm) than the 800MT Explore and improved balancer shaft technology for less vibration. The 48mm fully adjustable suspension, increased ground clearance (240mm) and longer suspension travel (230mm) make the 800MT-X perfect for adventure.

With 21/18-inch spoked wheels, a 22.5L tank, switchable ABS and Bosch traction control, this machine is ready for challenging terrain. The 7-inch TFT screen, quickshifter, cruise control and a steering damper provide extra control and riding pleasure.

The future begins now

After the presentations, guests had the chance to test the bikes extensively. The Algarve International Circuit and surrounding trails provided the perfect environment to push the latest CFMOTO models to their limits. The models unveiled in Portugal will soon be found in European showrooms, ready for riders looking for innovation, performance and adventure.

From 16 to 19 February 2024, the iconic Autódromo Internacional do Algarve will host the CFMOTO Global Media Launch & Distributors Conference, ushering in an exciting new chapter for the brand.

This event brings together key distributors, industry experts and international media to showcase the unrivalled performance, precision and advanced designs of CFMOTO's latest models that we have already showcased during EICMA 2024, such as the CFMOTO 675SR-R, 675NK, 800MT-X and many others, up close.

In line with our mission to make the world more inviting, accessible and fun to explore, this event will also provide a platform to showcase CFMOTO's bold vision and forward-thinking spirit. The conference will be an inspiring celebration of technological innovation, with live demonstrations, exclusive previews and networking opportunities that will shape the future of powersports.

Stay tuned for live updates via our social media channels and get ready to witness the evolution of the motor industry.

The countdown to February has begun- experience more together!

The company built a large and attractive exhibition stand to showcase more than 30 new products and concepts, as well as its ZEEHO and GOES sub-brands. The Hangzhou, China-based company 'kicked off the bikes' at EICMA with two press conferences in front of a packed and eclectic group of media, dealers and other guests, before the gates opened to the public.

CFMOTO promoted its 'Tech Driven' mantra at EICMA, with the unveiling of new motorbikes and a motorbike concept, as well as four-wheeled vehicles for 2025, with which CFMOTO hopes to build on its position and reputation as an industry leader. The presentations were given by Markus Ferch (CFMOTO VP Europe), Carles Solsona (CFMOTO Design Director) and Alexei Mikhailov (Designer CFP DIG), but there was also a special guest of honour: the brilliant record-breaking Moto3 World Champion, David Alonso, who appeared with his CFMOTO Aspar Team for the final Grand Prix of an exceptional season in MotoGP in Barcelona, Spain. CFMOTO conquered the Moto3 class in their third season at the highest level.

EICMA was a celebration of three important pillars for CFMOTO. First, the company's growth and rise in 35 years of history. Second, the successes achieved in R&D and engineering and the growing portfolio of premium motorbikes and ATVs, such as the production of the millionth ORV and the Moto3 title. Third, the declaration of full commitment to the future, with fresh ideas and the imagination to inspire a wider, new audience of mobile users.

675SR-R

The first covers removed at EICMA revealed the stunning 675SR-R. The design clearly exudes sporty DNA with aggressive lines and lighting, and the bike has the performance to be a rocket on the road and a toy for the track.

The three-cylinder 4-stroke liquid-cooled DOHC engine delivers addictive linear torque thanks to the 120-degree crankshaft, reaching 68Nm at 8250rpm. 0-100km/h is achieved in just 3.6 seconds and top speed is 220km/h. Power peaks at an impressive 66kW at 11,000rpm. The 675SR-R is tuned to surprise, while optimisation of the engine package erases almost all vibration and provides excitement when the rider shifts gears via the Quickshifter. The engine is wrapped in a high-performance chrome-molybdenum frame (with an integrated cast-steel base) to achieve the best balance between lightweight and maximum manoeuvrability.

The ergonomics are purposeful and 'race-oriented', but also finely tuned for comfort and practicality for everyday riding. Absorption of bumpy road bumps is delicately controlled by fully adjustable KYB 41 mm upside-down front forks and a rear damper. The 300 mm and 240 mm disc brakes provide stable and efficient stopping power, while the dual-compound sports tyres are the 'glue' for various street surfaces.

The 675SR-R may look like a single-purpose performance tool, but the bike also has a high-tech intelligent edge. Check out the 5" TFT screen with MotoPlay, gear shift indicators and a comprehensive interface to manage information and settings from the 'T-box' 4G modules and 6D sensors. OTA updates for the bike's electronics and status are easily possible via the CFMOTO RIDE app, where more personalisation is possible.

675NK

The 675NK uses the same engine platform as the 675SR-R and is the second generation of CFMOTO's exceptional naked bike family, aimed at more mature riders and customers expecting a more advanced product in this booming segment.

Refinements to the bodywork design allow the rider to move freely for both comfort and wind resistance, and the ergonomics are closely matched to the lightweight steel-tube frame for excellent manoeuvrability and a sense of fun without losing stability and certainty when cornering. The LED lighting design is not only aesthetic, but also reacts to rider reactions to better inform other road users (faster flashes).

Safety is highlighted by dual-channel ABS and standard 2-level adjustable traction control. The 675NK has a more moderate top speed of 200 km/h and 11,000 rpm compared to its sporty counterpart, although the 0-100 km/h time is similar: 3.9 seconds.

The 5-inch TFT screen includes the same range of features and interactivity as the 675SR-R: synergy with the CFMOTO RIDE app, OTA updates, T-box, Google Maps availability. A tyre pressure monitoring system is also included. Riders can expect a seat height of 810 mm, which can be increased to 825 mm or lowered to 795 mm with optional accessories. The 675NK is not to be missed, whether in Glacier White or Tundra Gray.

CF-X

CFMOTO surprised with the introduction of the CF-X electric motocross concept, while paying tribute to the ZEEHO brand's outstanding design and innovation philosophy. The CF-X was created around the principles of fun, competitive but also safe offroading: 'more experience together'. Its strength comes in the benefits of zero emissions and the performance advantages of instant torque and acceleration, providing an instant adrenaline boost. The CF-X can deliver the power of a 450cc ICE equivalent through the engine, which is also part of the handling package. Manufacturing the 'ideal' CF-X led to priorities such as a frame with high strength but extremely low weight, a low centre of gravity and sharp centralisation for optimum manoeuvrability.

The 310 mm adjustable WP suspensions ensure a smooth ride over bumps and jumps, and the ergonomics are geared towards competition and frontier use, with a seat height of 960 mm. Quality and precision can be felt in every gram of the 125 kg weight and solidity of the high-quality race-ready components. Advanced electronics for monitoring, personalising three riding modes and servicing the 3-1 400V drive system, which quickly propels the rider to 50 km/h, is also a highlight.

MASTER OF SPEED

A gesture, a clue and an intention. MASTER OF SPEED is an artistic celebration of speed and dynamism, as well as a spiritual vision of a future CFMOTO sports bike.

Lines, fluidity and form: the imposing shape and polished surfaces reflect the quest for excellence and innovation, while the overall composition inspires a sense of lightness and control, strength and precision. MASTER OF SPEED is a profound reminder that movement equals existence.

V.04

CFMOTO is going big. The announcement of the ground-breaking V.04 engine development marks a new product era for the company and extends the scope of the CFMOTO range to other segments of the market; areas where CFMOTO believes it can make an impact. Details were revealed with the 90-degree V4 configuration, displacement of 997cc, 81 mm and stroke of 48.4 mm. Expected power is above 156 kW at 14,500 rpm, with maximum torque of 114 Nm.

Every component is designed for uncompromising performance: balance, minimal vibration, linear power delivery and smoothness. Finger taps are a striking addition to the output and the combination of lightness and power is achieved with titanium connecting rods, intake and exhaust valves for maximum potential but also reliability. The counter-rotation crankshaft exemplifies the hardware and knowledge gained from elite competitions such as MotoGP. The V.04 is another way CFMOTO explicitly shows itself as 'tech-driven'.

CFMOTO celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2024. The company has grown and now has more than 3,000 foreign dealers across more than 100 countries. CFMOTO has at least four R&D innovation centres worldwide and nearly 1,000 employees, with a similar number of active engineering and design patents. CFMOTO has built a world-class supply chain, with sustainable, long-term partnerships with other leading companies in the industry.

Before the Milan audience had a chance to see and touch the full spectrum of CFMOTO's 'Tech Driven' offering, Markus Ferch closed the formal presentations to the media and invited guests. "The models presented at this year's EICMA not only represent the results of CFMOTO's continuous innovation in design and technological breakthroughs, but also reflect the company's understanding of trends in the motorbike and ORV markets, as well as its deep insights into the future of mobility," he said. "CFMOTO will continue to lead with technological innovation, more high performance, high quality and high value products that exceed customer expectations in the global market."

Production milestone

CFMOTO toasted both 35 years of history and the 1,000,000th ATV to roll off the production line at its Hangzhou production plant, with a large company party attended by senior management and an elaborate gathering.

October 9, 2024 will be marked in the annals of CFMOTO's rapid rise and storied history. More than 100 guests, including senior management, department heads, distributors, dealers and staff from various factories, gathered at the off-road vehicle production facility to watch the millionth ATV roll off the assembly line. 2024 represents CFMOTO's 35th anniversary, and the millionth ATV - the flagship Z10 - marked the important milestone of the number of units manufactured and refined at the plant.

In a relatively short time, CFMOTO has gained popularity and set standards in the global ATV market. Their technical expertise has led to a presence in more than 100 markets and through more than 4,000 active dealers. CFMOTO is the market leader in ATVs in more than 30 different countries and is the largest and most prominent exporter from China.

CFMOTO's diversification as a manufacturer is largely due to their innovation and achievements in off-road vehicle engineering. The company was founded in 1989 as a manufacturer of motorbike parts, but within eight years they had produced their first liquid-cooled motorbike, and in 2000 they entered the motorsport market with the first CFMOTO scooter.

CFMOTO's spectacular achievements in innovation and design, as well as their keen understanding of the needs and demands of the two- and four-wheeled mobility market, have brought the company to this unique milestone. 1,000,000 ATVs in 20 years is an indication of the energy and passion within the company. The growth will continue, and the second million will not be far in the future.

As mentioned earlier, we visited CFMOTO headquarters in Hangzhou, China, together with a select group of journalists and dealers. The aim was to get an idea of how people work in China and who CFMOTO really is and what they stand for. Besides the visits to CFMOTO headquarters and factories, we were also allowed to experience CFMOTO Day, a day at the Zhejiang Circuit entirely dedicated to CFMOTO. You could already read Ed from Motorfreaks' report on the visit to CFMOTO HQ but now you can also join Ed on the CFMOTO Day. Part of his experiences below and on the website of MotorFreaks the complete article can be read.

The fifth CFMOTO DAY at the Zhejiang International Circuit in Zhejiang province grew in size, significance and speed with a 'race' theme. CFMOTO fans gathered at the popular motorsport venue to not only participate in a series of activities on and around the track and greet the winning Moto3 CFMOTO Aspar Team, but also to witness the unveiling of three new models... read HERE further.

It was an eagerly awaited event that is already part of the good habits of any self-respecting motorcyclist.

Retrieved from Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 August DG Sport is organising the second edition of the Bikers' Festival. The whole motorbike world will then be back at the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps, and you hopefully too.
