CFMOTO 700MT 2026

The CFMOTO 700MT impresses as an affordable adventure touring bike with comfortable ergonomics, good riding performance and solid features. The engine offers linear power delivery, but requires revs. The suspension is comfortably setup and masters bumps with ease, while the high weight hardly disturbs during the ride. Weaknesses are evident in the brakes and at higher speeds due to increased vibrations. If you are looking for an uncomplicated, classic bike with good features at an attractive price, this is an interesting option.
