CFMOTO 800MT-X: specifications, pros and cons, compatible accessories
The CFMOTO for true off-road riding, with a 21-inch wheel and its own part numbers
The same KTM-derived 799 cc parallel twin as the 800MT, but with a frame, 21- and 18-inch wheels, and bodywork designed for off-road riding. For those equipping it, the rule is simple: almost nothing from the 800MT carries over, and the dedicated catalog is still young but already covers luggage and ergonomics.
- In summaryDedicated racks and cases, 20 mm risers, and center stand plate.
- Do this right awayPannier racks, cases, and center stand plate.
- Good to knowCrash bars and films are not currently in the catalog.
- Don't confuse themThe road-focused 800MT part numbers do not fit this motorcycle.

Who it's recommended for
It's the right motorcycle if
- You want a mid-size off-road bike with a 21-inch wheel at an affordable price
- You trust a KTM-derived engine, already proven on roads and off-road
- You travel loaded off-road: dedicated racks and cases are available
- You often ride standing up and want taller handlebars without replacing them
- You like the idea of a new and still uncommon motorcycle
Look elsewhere if
- You want a complete accessories catalog: crash bars and films are currently unavailable
- You mainly ride on asphalt: the road-focused 800MT is more suitable
- You are looking for a widespread service network
- You are interested in an established used value
- You have an 800MT and are thinking of reusing the accessories: the part numbers are different
In a nutshell: this is the CFMOTO for those who really ride off-road. If you want the same type of motorcycle with a much broader catalog, the KTM 890 Adventure R and Husqvarna Norden 901 have dedicated crash bars, auxiliary lights, and luggage.

For carrying gear, you can also find the 18-liter ALPS motorcycle bag, the magnetic tank bags with a mounting ring, the folding mirrors, and the motorcycle cover.

Brands with dedicated accessories
LOBOOLuggage and ergonomicsFrequently asked questions
Do the 800MT accessories fit the 800MT-X?
Generally no: the frame, wheels, and bodywork are different, and the pannier frames and panniers have their own codes. The CHS603 aluminum handguards are specified for the road-going 800MT: on the X, it’s best to check before ordering.
Do you have a crash bar for the CFMOTO 800MT-X?
Not today. The dedicated catalog covers luggage and ergonomics; to protect the bike off-road, write to us and we’ll let you know if new codes become available.
Does the kickstand plate also fit the 1000MT-X?
Yes, the CJC603 is specified for the 800MT-X and 1000MT-X, and it can be installed without removing the original kickstand.
Can I mount the panniers without the frames?
No to aluminum panniers: they require dedicated frames. The Wanderer soft panniers attach with straps and are the lighter alternative.
