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.

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.
