Design
The CFMOTO 800MT Explore Edition comes in Starry White (with catchy gold-colored wheel rims) and Gem Black and the whole aspect of the bike – from the crash bar protection, luggage rack as standard, wide and roomy saddle, handguards, aggressive front section and comprehensive LED lighting, ‘stubby’ exhaust muffler, minimal bodywork, compact skidplate as well as purposeful frame construction – highlight the ‘touring-ready’ status of this MT range flagship model. CFMOTO want to transport travelers to their destination in the most enjoyable and safest way possible but also with a touch of class and a sensation of pride.
Ergonomics
Whether in the cruise of the road or ready for any unexpected dips in the trail, the CFMOTO 800MT Explorer places the rider in an upright, poised and fully prepared stance for full control and optimum stability thanks to the model-specific steel chassis and aluminum swingarm. The individual is central and submerged into the CFMOTO 800MT Explore experience with the 825mm saddle, 190mm ground clearance and the inclusive shape of the trim 19-liter fuel tank form.
Handling
The CFMOTO 800MT Explore transmits a feeling of light, nimble and precise handling thanks to the 35-degree steering angle and 25-degree top rake. The lithe frame is suspended by upside down telescopic KYB forks and a singular KYB shock, both units from the industry-renowned brand come with adjustable damping. The irrepressible torque of the CFMOTO 800MT Explore’s engine can be willed to a stop by J.Juan brakes with a double disc and a radial caliper front system and a single disc set-up for the rear. On the latest edition of the bike CFMOTO have applied the excellent standard of Michelin tires to enhance the glide of the ride.
Engine
The bike is equipped with a sturdy and lively DOHC liquid-cooled 799cc twin-cylinder engine with a maximum of 91hp/67kw @ 9250min 75NM/8000. The quiet motor boasts a high-efficiency intake and exhaust systems, lightweight forged pistons and friction reduction technology for optimum performance and durability. The CF-SC slipper clutch helps enlarge the power buffering and enhance the smoothness of shifting, thereby reducing the engine braking impact during downshifts, improving safety and riding comfort. Expect a maximum speed up to 190km/h and with SPORT, RAIN, ALL TERRAIN and OFF-ROAD ride modes to gauge the correct amount of traction control, rear wheel slip and throttle response.
