CFMOTO 1000MT-X 2026

CFMOTO 1000MT-X 2026

With the 1000 MT-X, CFMOTO proves that a fully equipped adventure bike doesn't have to be expensive. The hardware installed is top-notch, and the handling hardly needs to shy away from comparison, both on and off the paved roads. However, the setup of the assistance systems is still lagging behind, and the traction control in particular is in urgent need of an update, which the manufacturer has promised. If you get this under control, you get a premium bike at an affordable price.

fully adjustable KYB suspension

harmonious, powerful engine

very good ergonomics

Apple Car Play works wirelessly

no need to go to the dealer for updates

good Brembo brakes

high payload possible
