CFMOTO joins Fowlers line-up

Fast-growing motorcycle brand brings variety and value to Bristol bikers.

CFMOTO is joining the line-up at Fowlers, offering bikers in Bristol and beyond an unrivalled choice of new machines.

A relatively new brand in the UK, CFMOTO is rapidly gaining in popularity, due to the impressive variety of bikes in the range and accessible OTR prices. It will sit alongside 15 other manufacturers currently represented in Fowlers’ central Bristol showrooms.

The growing CFMOTO line-up has something for riders of all tastes. The neo-retro 300CL-X and 700CL-X Heritage, priced at £3,599 and £5,999 respectively, are sure to be a hit with fans of modern classics.

At just £4,499 the super-sharp 649cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected parallel-twin 650NK offers an effortless and engaging naked bike experience, perfect for newer riders looking to step-up.

For those who want to really broaden their horizons, the range-topping 800MT Touring dual sport feels equally at home on a mountain trail as it does on the motorway. Its impressive spec includes a DOHC liquid-cooled 799cc twin-cylinder engine, KYB suspension and Cornering ABS; all this and more available at an OTR price of only £9,199.

A rapidly growing brand, CFMOTO was founded in 1989 and currently employs around 5000 people. The firm sold 127,000 new bikes worldwide in 2021.

It was also the first new manufacturer to enter the Isle of Man TT for over 50 years. In 2016 a WK650i – ridden by TT legend Gary Johnson – finished fourth in the Lightweight class, missing out on a podium by just 2 seconds.

Alongside the choice of new machines for sale, CFMOTO owners can benefit from routine servicing and maintenance in Fowlers’ fully-equipped on-site workshops, with comprehensive spares back-up from Fowlers Parts, the largest stockist of genuine motorcycle parts in the UK.

A huge selection of clothing and accessories are also available, as is the option to refuel and relax in Harry’s Café on the mezzanine above the showroom floor.

Introducing the CFMOTO 450NK – the entry-level addition to CFMOTO’s NK series

For 2024, the NK series has undergone a complete overhaul, and with it comes the brand-new CFMOTO 450NK.

Complete with a powerful 449cc parallel-twin engine platform, updated exterior design, and enhanced functionality, it brings new riding experiences to all who climb aboard. This provides the ideal stepping-stone for everyone enjoying a sports focused yet comfortable naked bike, with easy handling, comfort and playful engine performance.

Ergonomics and Handling
Tipping the scales at only 165 kg, the CFMOTO 450NK boasts one the best curb weights in its class. This makes for extremely nimble handling, while the 795 mm seat height offers accessibility to riders looking for a lower, more comfortable riding position.

The wide front, narrow rear seat cushion design enhances rider comfort, aided by the positioning of the foot pegs and handlebars to create a comfortable and neutral position that encourages riders to increase saddle time.

Engine
With a 449 cc parallel twin-cylinder engine – developed and built by CFMOTO – and producing 34,5 kW/10000 rpm and 39,3 Nm/7750 rpm, the CFMOTO 450NK delivers ample performance along a linear power curve. This power output also ensures a very respectable acceleration of 0 to 100km/h (circa 62 mph) in 4.9 seconds, and a top speed of 178 km/h (circa 110 mph).

A new 270° crankshaft delivers output characteristics similar to that found in V-twin engines, producing a throaty engine note and impressive throttle response, while a double-balance shaft arrangement reduces engine vibration for a more comfortable ride. A 14 litre fuel tank allows for longer ride time between refills and makes the CFMOTO 450NK an ideal choice for commuters and recreational riders alike.

Chassis, Brakes, and Suspension
In terms of handling, the CFMOTO 450NK draws on a selection of premium components designed to ensure optimum handling and ease of use. Upfront, a 37 mm upside-down fork provides sure-footed stability and control with a sporty feel, with the rear centre-aligned shock absorber ensuring maximum traction under acceleration and comfort when things get a little rough.

The front 110/70 R17 and rear 150/60 R17 wheel and tyre combination further enhance the 450NK’s handling prowess, with optimised CST AS5 high-performance tyres as standard fitment to provide exceptional grip in all road riding scenarios. Braking is taken care of by a J.JUAN 320 mm disc up front and a 220 mm HANGTE disc on the rear, supported by a ABS, to provide optimum and controlled braking performance at all times.

Rider Aids
Beneath its sleek yet aggressive aesthetics, the CFMOTO 450NK features an advanced traction control system for improved safety. This works by limiting rear-wheel slip in low traction situations. A slipper clutch is standard equipment and allows riders to use the gearbox more effectively when slowing down, eliminating any concern of the rear wheel locking up.

Connectivity and Riding Experience
Up front, an intuitive 5-inch TFT curved display supports simple navigation projection and a built-in shift light to show riders the optimum time to change gear. An optional T-box also allows for easy smartphone connectivity, providing over-the-air updates, anti-theft and tracking capability, as well as real-time viewing of the vehicle information through the CFMOTO RIDE app. A Reserve Type C/Type-A charging port can also be added to conveniently service any smartphone charging needs.

Pricing and Availability
The CFMOTO 450NK will be available in Nebula White and Zephyr Blue for £4,990 OTR. Availability to be confirmed.

All New CFMOTO NK800 Hits The UK

Boasting a sleek design, powerful two-cylinder engine performance, pin-sharp handling, and cutting-edge technology, the all-new 800NK lineup has entered the European markets, offering a “standard” and soon a high-spec 800NK ADVANCED version. 

Introducing the new 800NK line-up
Having first appeared late last year as the NK-C22 concept bike, the production model CFMOTO 800NK has arrived, flanking the small and mid-displacement NK series, with a large displacement product offering to satisfy the needs of riders looking for maximum thrills.

Sporting aggressive naked-bike styling and an impressive list of standard equipment, the CFMOTO 800NK cuts an imposing shape into the highly competitive naked motorcycle market with its striking, arrow-shaped headlight, short tail, and sharp lines.

Ergonomics
Designed to be both imposing to look at and comfortable to ride, the CFMOTO 800NK provides riders with an upright riding position, setting the ideal balance between sportiness and aggression, with a 795 mm seat height to create sure-footed confidence for all riding levels.
Note: CFMOTO offers an optional 820 mm seat for riders needing a higher riding position.

Engine
Providing the punch comes courtesy of a 70 kW (95 hp), 799 cc parallel-twin DOHC engine, delivering 79 Nm at 8,000 rpm of linear thrust throughout the rev range. However, due to its weighing in at only 186 kg, the CFMOTO 800NK SPORT (and a 189 kg ADVANCED version) is no one-round-only heavyweight brawler.

Chassis, Brakes, and Suspension
Thanks to a 43 mm fully adjustable KYB (Kayaba) upside-down fork and rear shock absorber paired with a lightweight chromoly-steel-tube frame, aluminum-alloy wheels, and MAXXIS high-performance tires, the CFMOTO 800NK provides fleet-footed handling and agility when the gloves come off. ABS-assisted J.Juan radial-mount, four-piston front brake calipers with 320 mm discs are at hand to provide ample stopping power.

Rider Aids
Both 800NK versions come with a slipper clutch, cruise control, and three riding modes – Sport, Street, and Rain – all features as standard. Additionally, the ADVANCED version comes with a Quickshifter and a larger dashboard with more connectivity features.

How does the 800NK SPORT differ from the 800NK ADVANCED?
The 800NK ADVANCED offers advanced connectivity due to its 8-inch TFT display with Apple CarPlay functionality. Due to its larger dashboard, the 800NK ADVANCED is equipped with a different handlebar. Additionally, it comes standard with a Quickshifter and a steering damper. The overall weight difference is 3 kg.

Accessories
The new 800NK lineup comes with a range of high quality accessories to further enhance the ride and sporty aesthetics of the bikes. Accessories that will soon be available include a Rear Seat Cover, Ergo Rider’s Seat, Handlebar End Mirrors, Adjustable Brake and Clutch Levers, Drop Bar, Axles, Crash Bung Kit, Adjustable Footpeg System, and Front Spoiler. These accessories will provide riders with the option to personalise their 800NK, both in terms of style and functionality, to suit their preferences and enhance their overall riding experience.

Pricing, Logistics, and Availability
The CFMOTO 800NK (SPORT) will be available at authorized CFMOTO dealers in the UK in July 2023 priced at £6,999 with 3.9% PP/4.9% PCP finance deals currently available for customers. Availability and pricing details for the ADVANCED version will soon be announced through a separate press release.
