CFMOTO 450MT 2024

CFMOTO 450MT 2024

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.

For me, the Africa Twin is a touring enduro as a touring enduro should be. This was already true of the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because the latter remained manageable at 102 hp, and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it remained versatile, functioning just as well on the motorway as off-road. The chassis absorbs almost all bumps, the engine remains sovereign in every situation, ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A motorbike for all days as well as for the big trip - wherever that may be.

High-torque engine
