CFMOTO 450MT: specifications, pros and cons, compatible accessories

Light enduro · from 2024

The lightweight 21-inch twin that reopened the A2 segment

A lightweight 449 cc twin-cylinder bike with 21- and 18-inch wheels and a low weight: the 450MT brings a true adventure enduro to the A2-licence category. The catalog is still limited but covers the parts that are most likely to break off-road: hands, stand, tank, and dashboard.

Who it's recommended for

It's the right bike if

  • You have an A2 license and want a true enduro bike with a 21-inch wheel
  • You are looking for a lightweight bike to learn off-road riding
  • You want a smoother twin-cylinder engine than a single-cylinder enduro bike
  • You travel alone with light luggage
  • You are interested in the price-to-equipment ratio

Look elsewhere if

  • You often travel with a passenger or on the highway: 44 horsepower is noticeable
  • You need dedicated hard panniers: there are currently no racks
  • You want dedicated crash bars: they are not currently in the catalog
  • You are looking for an accessory catalog that is already complete
  • You already have an A license and want more engine

In a nutshell: this is the A2-licence adventure enduro that was missing. If you want a European alternative with a more extensive catalog, the KTM 390 Adventure is the direct rival; if you have an A license, the CFMOTO 800MT-X is the next step.
