Pros and Cons in comparison

CFMOTO 800MT-X 2026

The CFMOTO 800 MT-X impresses with a refined engine, excellent suspension control and handling that, thanks to its low centre of gravity, feels far lighter than the specifications would suggest. In practice, it rides in a balanced, confidence-inspiring manner and offers exceptional features for the money. Minor shortcomings in the electronics, the quality of the controls and a dip in torque in the mid-range remain, but these do little to detract from the strong overall impression. All in all, it is an honest, versatile adventure bike that doesn’t quite reach premium level, but represents a genuine and serious alternative in terms of both price and riding dynamics.

Excellent value for money

Fully adjustable suspension

Refined LC8c twin cylinder with revvy character

Surprisingly agile handling thanks to the low-slung fuel tank and centre of gravity

Modern features as standard, which you’d normally have to pay extra for with premium brands: quickshifter, tyre pressure sensors, Motion Alert, Find-My function

very attractive price

excellent riding position

Rough engine running at low revs

Noticeable torque dip between 5000–7000 rpm

Switch quality and feel fall short of premium standards

cruise control cannot be deactivated by easing off the accelerator

navigation integration via the app is cumbersome

mediocre wind protection
