Irrespective of the variant (alloy wheel or wire-spoke wheel), the new CFMoto 800MT will use a 19-inch front wheel with 110/80 R19 tyre and a 17-inch rear wheel with 150/70 R17 tyre. The kerb weight of both the variants remains the same at 231 kg for the base model and 248 kg for the loaded version fitted with panniers and top box.
CFMoto has also filed new documents with the Chinese authorities that reveal the technical details of the 800MT. Now, it is confirmed that the 799cc parallel-twin engine (borrowed from the KTM 790 Adventure) of the new motorcycle will produce 95 hp of maximum power. This mill should help the 800MT achieve a top speed of 190 km/h.
