OUTSTANDING ENGINE

Developed through the technical partnership between CFMOTO and KTM. The 799cc parallel-twin engine’s tune has been revised for optimised torque delivery.

285° firing order

Creates a similar power delivery and sound characteristics of a V-twin engine.

Forged aluminium pistons

Feature three piston rings, and a chrome ceramic coated piston pin for reduced piston weight and therefore reduced reciprocating mass, resulting in a faster revving engine.

Cracked connecting rods

Forged and ‘cracked’ design for precision fit and increased service life

Power Assisted Slipper Clutch (PASC)

Provides a lighter clutch lever pull with a broad engagement range for greater confidence and comfort. The ‘slipper’ function aids in keeping the motorcycle steady during sharp downshifts by reducing back torque, keeping the rear tyre from hopping, and locking up.

Bi-directional quickshifter

Makes shifting through gears effortless for an enhanced riding experience.

NEXT LEVEL DISPLAY

A new 8-inch Multi-Media Interface (MMI) display adorns the rider cockpit, featuring Apple CarPlay. Moreover, the new touchscreen display supports multimedia interaction, Bluetooth connectivity, voice control and provides navigation directions.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

800MT Explore riders can choose between six different Ride Modes, each offering a unique combination of torque output and traction control (TC) intervention to suit varying road conditions, abilities, and preferred riding styles.

SPORT: provides the sharpest throttle response and maximum torque output with a low level of TC intervention. Perfect for experienced riders out for a spirited ride on the tarmac.

OFF ROAD: provides a softer throttle response than SPORT with the lowest level of TC intervention.

OFF ROAD+: provides a softer throttle response than SPORT with the lowest level of TC intervention. The rear wheel ABS is also deactivated.

ALL TERRIAN: provides a softer throttle response than OFF-ROAD with no TC intervention. The rear wheel ABS is also deactivated.

ALL TERRIAN+: provides a softer throttle response than OFF-ROAD with no TC intervention. The front and rear wheel ABS are deactivated.

RAIN: provides the softest throttle response and the gentlest power curve with the lowest maximum output and the highest level of TC intervention best suited for wet and slippery conditions.

GUARDIAN ANGEL

The 800MT Explore is also the first CFMOTO motorcycle to feature rearward-facing radar technology with the Behind Radar System (BRS) introduction, encompassing several monitoring and warning functions.

Blind Spot Detection (BSD) monitors the blind areas within the rider’s field of vision and provides a warning signal when another vehicle is identified in the blind area.

Lane Change Assist (LCA) monitors other road users from both sides and the motorcycle’s rear at a broader range than BSB. A warning signal appears when changing lanes presents a risk to the rider. When triggered, a first-level warning is communicated via the sides of the MMI screen flashing yellow. If the rider indicates to turn (indicator on) when a vehicle is detected, the rider is notified by flashing red alerts on both sides and the bottom of the MMI screen.

Rear Collision Warning (RCW) monitors the distance between the nearest vehicle behind the motorcycle and provides a warning signal in the event of a potential collision. Similarly, the MMI will flash yellow when a vehicle is detected in close proximity from behind, changing to red when extremely close.
