CFMOTO 450MT 2026

The CFmoto 450MT impresses as a light and comfortable bike for enduro travellers looking for a good balance between size and weight. It offers satisfactory engine performance for off-road use. On-road, the two-cylinder engine needs plenty of revs to get going, yet it still performs confidently. The workmanship and appearance are convincing, and the engine's power delivery is linear and easy to control, apart from the load change reactions. Minor points of criticism concern the suspension, which reaches its limits under intensive 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.
