CFMoto 800MT-X Adventure Bike Ready For Production: To Be Revealed Soon

CFMoto MT-X ADV concept was first shown at last year’s EICMA show. Now, the brand is ready to unveil this adventure motorcycle soon. Leaked documents confirm that its production version is ready for international markets.

The 800MT-X is based on the 800MT adventure tourer but is designed for more extreme off-road use. It features high ground clearance, rally-inspired bodywork, a flat seat, and a slim tail end for better off-road performance. 

Furthermore, this upcoming CFMoto bike has a vertical 8-inch TFT screen mounted on a rally-style navigation tower. Also, the fuel tank is placed lower to improve balance and the riding experience.

CFMoto 800MT-X Adventure Bike: Specifications 

CFMoto 800MT-X is built for adventure, using a powerful 799 cc LC8c twin-cylinder engine. This engine, designed by KTM, is made in China and is also used in several other bikes like the KTM 790 Duke/Adventure, Husqvarna Svartpilen 801, and CFMoto 800NK and Ibex.

Furthermore, it has a 21-inch front wheel and an 18-inch rear wheel, which are better for off-road riding compared to the 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels of the standard 800MT models. Apart from this, this upcoming CFMoto adventure bike is expected to have a long-travel suspension from KYB. The size and shape are more similar to the high-end KTM 890 Adventure R than to the standard 800MT models.

Changes from Concept to Production

The final production model of the 800MT-X has some differences from the concept version shown at the EICMA motorcycle show:

• Brakes: Instead of the four-piston Brembo front brakes, it uses J.Juan callipers, similar to those on KTM bikes.
• Disc Covers: The production model doesn't have the extra plastic protection around the brake discs that the concept had.
• Passenger Footrests: The production bike includes footrests for passengers, which the concept bike did not have.
• Exhaust: The Akrapovič exhaust from the concept is replaced with a CFMOTO-designed exhaust for road use.

The bike is likely to be named 800MT-X to match CFMoto’s existing 800MT model. In the U.S. will carry Ibex branding, like the Ibex 800 S and Ibex 800 T. The 800MT-X will bring a wild, rally-inspired, adventurous option to the market.
