Pros and Cons in comparison
CFMOTO 450MT 2026
The CFmoto 450MT is a compelling choice as a lightweight and comfortable bike for adventure touring enthusiasts seeking a good balance between size and weight. It offers satisfactory engine performance for off-road use. On the road, the twin-cylinder engine needs plenty of revs to get going, yet performs with confidence. The build quality and appearance are impressive, and the engine’s power delivery is linear and easy to control, apart from the load-change reactions. Minor criticisms concern the suspension, which reaches its limits under heavy use. Overall, the CFmoto 450MT offers good value for money and is an attractive choice for riders looking for a reliable and well-equipped enduro bike.
KTM 390 Adventure R 2026
The KTM 390 Adventure R is the more uncompromising choice for riders who prioritise off-road riding. Its low weight, long travel and modern electronics ensure plenty of control and ample reserves both on and off tarmac. The 399-cm³ single-cylinder engine feels lively and revvy, but requires more gear changes and higher revs for brisk riding than the CFMOTO’s twin cylinder engine. On journeys of length, the KTM feels significantly more rugged, with its narrow seat, stronger vibrations and modest wind protection. In return, it offers a more precise and playful overall package on technical terrain. Anyone looking for as much genuine enduro bike capability as possible in the A2 class – and who is willing to accept compromises on comfort – will find the 390 Adventure R to be one of the most exciting bikes in its class.
