CFMOTO 1000MT-X 2026

CFMOTO 1000MT-X 2026

The CFMOTO 1000MT-X 2026 is a remarkably well-equipped adventure bike for budget-conscious touring riders. Its smooth-running in-line twin-cylinder engine, relaxed riding position, effective wind protection and enormous payload make long stages a breeze. It remains good-natured and predictable even on winding roads and simple gravel tracks. Yet, the affordable price is noticeable: the suspension provides less refined feedback, the ergonomics feel passive when riding sportily, and, above all, the traction control is rather coarse. Occasional quickshifter glitches and intense engine heat on the lower legs detract from the overall experience. However, for riders who prefer to cruise rather than ride at the limit, this is still an exceptional value for money.

BMW F 900 GS Adventure 2026

BMW F 900 GS Adventure 2026

The small Adventure looks really big even next to an R 1300 GS. The bike offers a high level of riding comfort combined with accessible handling. However, due to the huge tank and the ponderous front end, it loses a significant advantage of the F 900 GS - it is not a lighter-footed alternative to a large Adventure.

Practical features

pleasantly controllable engine

great electronics package

great riding comfort

Off-road and when manoeuvring, the bike feels tiring and heavy

the bike looks cumbersome and clumsy
