CFMOTO 450MT — NZ’s Most Popular Adventure Bike

The best-selling mid-capacity adventure bike in New Zealand for 2025 — and for good reason. The 450MT hits the sweet spot Kiwi riders have been waiting for: real off-road capability, highway comfort, and unbeatable value in one tough, lightweight package.

Whether you're riding gravel backroads, exploring forestry trails, commuting daily, or loading up for a South Island mission — the 450MT is built to do it all.

WHY THE 450MT IS NZ’S FAVOURITE ADVENTURE BIKE

449cc Parallel Twin with 270° Crank
Strong, usable torque down low with smooth highway performance. The 270° crank gives that V-twin style traction feel riders love on loose terrain.

True Adventure Wheel Setup (21” / 18”)
Spoked, tubeless wheels with proper ADV geometry — not a road bike pretending to be an adventure bike.

KYB Long-Travel Suspension
200mm front and rear travel delivers control on rough tracks while staying planted on the open road.

Lightweight, Confidence-Inspiring Chassis
Slim, well-balanced, and easy to manage off-road — ideal for both experienced riders and those stepping into ADV riding.

Adventure Tech That Actually Matters
Bosch ABS (rear switchable for dirt), slipper clutch, full-colour 5” TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, and USB charging.

Comfort for Long Days in the Saddle
Upright ergonomics, wide bars, great wind protection, and a 17.5L fuel tank for serious range between stops.

HOW IT STACKS UP

Compared with bikes like the KTM 390 Adventure, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, and Honda CB500X, the 450MT offers:

• Better off-road wheel and suspension setup
• Lighter, more agile handling in dirt
• Strong twin-cylinder performance
• More features for the money
• Outstanding real-world value

This is why it’s become NZ’s go-to midweight adventure bike.
