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 lifePower 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.
OPTIMISED CHASSIS
The high-strength, lightweight chromium-molybdenum alloy steel frame and subframe weigh only 16kg and are paired with an aluminium swingarm for optimised rigidity and stability.43mm KYB inverted front forks
Provide a compliant and controlled ride with a generous 160mm of travel and damping characteristics tailored specifically for adventure riding. Both compression and rebound damping can be adjusted, along with spring preload.
KYB rear shock
Features 150mm of travel with adjustable spring preload and rebound damping.
Michelin Anakee tyres
Upgraded tyres for an enhanced riding experience, mainly when off-road.
HAPPINESS IS IN THE CORNER
J.Juan 4-piston radial-mount calipers are matched with dual 320mm floating discs for exemplary stopping power. The rear brake system employs a twin-piston J.Juan caliper paired with a single 260mm disc.The brilliant braking package is supported by a lightweight, one-piece BOSCH 9.1 MP Cornering Antilock Brake System (ABS). Superior to standard systems, the package utilises input from a 6D sensor (IMU) which allows the braking force to be optimised based on the bike’s speed and inclination to aid in maintaining the rider’s intended line through corners.
LUXURY IN MOTION
When on the move, the heated seat and heated grips each offer three levels of warmth and are easily adjustable on the fly.Cruise control assists with reducing rider fatigue, improves touring comfort and is easily set and adjusted via buttons on the left switchblock.
Convenient USB ports and a 12v socket are included for charging devices, including smartphones.
STAY CONNECTED WITH T-BOX
Lastly, the innovative T-box system has a built-in 4G module and 6D sensor which can check vehicle status, positioning, and mileage, all in real-time through the CFMOTO RIDE smartphone application.2 YEAR WARRANTY
