CFMoto 450MT has launched in Nepal.

Rishi Trade Center, the authorized distributor of CFMoto in Nepal, has launched the CFMoto 450MT for the Nepali market.

450MT is a lightweight, midsized, and off-road capable adventure machine that has made waves internationally. 

Being an amazing offering, CFMoto 450MT has established itself as a major contender in a segment dominated by the KTM 390 Adventure, Himalayan 450, and Triumph Scrambler 400X.

While the price of the 450MT seems steep, considering what it offers and its international acclaim among adventure enthusiasts, it’s well worth the investment.

Now, let’s take a quick look at the specifications of the CFMoto 450MT in Nepal for 2024.

CFMoto Overview

Design

Starting with the front design, the CFMoto 450MT sets itself apart from other adventure tourers with a distinct, rugged, and robust appearance.

The Dual-stack LED Headlights feature both low and high beams, complemented by LED DRLs nestled between them for enhanced visibility.

Above these headlights, you’ll find an Adjustable Flyscreen that provides protection and adds to the bike’s aerodynamic profile.

Moving down, the front section reveals an open belly, showcasing the massive radiator screen partially covered by the front fender.

Twin pipes highlight the bike’s powerful twin-engine setup, while a skid plate offers essential protection during off-road adventures.

The handlebars are wide, and equipped with hand guards and foldable mirrors, making them particularly useful for rough terrains.

As you shift your focus to the side, the bike’s long wheelbase immediately catches the eye, exuding a true adventure-tourer vibe. The front fairing features subtle graphics that add a touch of style to the rugged design.

The compact engine compartment is further complemented by an Aluminum Swingarm and an Upswept Exhaust.

The bike’s large sprocket hints at an adequately torquey engine and foldable pedals on either side ensure durability, reducing the risk of damage in the event of a drop or crash.

From the rear, the taillight is neatly positioned between the fender and mounting rails, offering excellent visibility. The double outlet silencers and chunky tires contribute to a bold, aggressive stance that completes the bike’s adventurous persona.

The 450MT is equipped with a 5-inch CurvedTFT screen, a feature common across CFMoto bikes with CFMoto Ride App Connectivity.

Additionally, the handlebar-mounted controls are straightforward, ensuring easy navigation through various functions while on the move.

Additionally, CFMoto 450MT comes in Zephyr Blue and Tundra Grey colors.

Performance

CFMoto 450MT is powered by a 449.5cc Twin-cylinder, Liquid-cooled, 4-Valve, DOHC, 270 Degree Crank, Fuel-Injected engine. It can generate a max power of 44.2 PS at 8500rpm and 44Nm at 6250rpm.

Additionally, it also comes with a massive 17.5-liter fuel tank.

One intriguing feature of the 450 MT is its 270-degree crankshaft twin inline engine.

In this setup, the crank pins are spaced 270 degrees apart, meaning when one piston fires, the crankshaft rotates 270 degrees before the other piston fires.

This configuration offers the advantage of compact engine size and provides a balanced performance along with an amazing engine sound.

However, the 450 MT lacks a Ride-by-Wire throttle, and although the Traction Control and ABS can be switched off for the rear, they cannot be toggled for the front.

But, the 450MT offers a well-rounded performance package that not only meets but often exceeds the expectations for both an adventure-tourer and an off-road bike.

Additional Details

KYB Adjustable Upside Down Forks at the front and Multi-link setup at the rear handle the suspension duties.

The dimensions are 2210 mm in length, 870 mm in width, and 1380 mm in height. Moreover, the wheelbase is 1505 mm.

450MT gets a ground clearance of 220 mm. And, the kerb weight sits at 175 Kg.

CFMoto 450MT goes head-on with the KTM 390 Adventure and Royal Enfield Himalayan 450.

From a price perspective, the 390 Adventure is surprisingly more affordable at Rs. 10 Lakhs, which is unusual for KTM to be cheaper than its competitors in this segment.

While the 390 Adventure has a smaller engine that falls short of the 450MT in torque, it holds its own in terms of power.

Additionally, the 390 Adventure makes a strong case with its advanced electronics, offering features like Ride-By-Wire, Cornering ABS, Off-Road ABS, and a Quickshifter—features notably absent from the 450MT.

Though the 450 MT does include a decent range of electronic features, the addition of Ride-By-Wire technology would have made it a more complete package.

However, the 450MT’s 2-cylinder engine with a 270-degree crankshaft setup is likely to provide a more balanced and smoother riding experience compared to the 390 Adventure.

The advent of new adventure-class motorbikes in Nepal is exciting and seems to be getting more and more options.
