450 MT

The CFMOTO 450MT is a lightweight adventure motorcycle for riders who want to combine asphalt, gravel and unpaved roads without managing a heavy travel enduro. Its 449cc parallel twin with a 270-degree crank officially produces 32.5 kW and 44 Nm. A 21-inch front wheel, 18-inch rear wheel, wire spokes, 200 mm suspension travel and 220 mm ground clearance make the MT materially more dirt-focused than a road adventure bike with a 19-inch front wheel.

The 450MT is A2 compliant as standard and remains approachable with a 17.5-litre tank and an 820 mm standard seat height; its low setting is 800 mm. Those are settings and accessories, not separate model generations. On a used bike, spoke wheels, skid plate, chain and tyres matter more than mileage alone. Also test the switchable rear ABS and traction control before treating it as a gravel motorcycle.
