Although not originally planned to arrive on British shores, the £7349 CFMoto 700CL-X Adventure will now land in UK showrooms in March 2023 sitting alongside the pre-existing Sport and Heritage nakeds as a no nonsense, easy to ride dual purpose scrambler. Built in China in CFMoto’s Hangzhou factory, the bikes across the range are now being distributed in the UK by KTM’s parent company Pierer Mobility in a partnership that began in 2013, CFMoto will now also produce the 790 Adventure range for the Austrian brand in China. The new CL-X might say adventure in the brochure, but it’s unlikely to be your pick for serious all-terrain riding, Instead it’s a comfortable, mild-mannered, almost retro looking twin that would likely raise a smile on a dusty gravel trail but run out of ground clearance on anything more serious. Tested on the challenging spaghetti like ribbons of tarmac draped across the mountains of southern Spain, the CL-X showcased its skills as being one of those bikes you can hop on with instant familiarity. Every control is where you’d naturally expect it to be and there’s an easy reach to the ground, thanks to an 830mm seat height. Simple and easy are the two best words I can use to best describe the handling of the CFMoto 700CL-X Adventure, Push on the wide bars and it turns without fuss like if Ronseal did chassis geometry. It’s not lazy steering or too abrupt, but a gentle, predictable peel into the bend and a solid composure throughout. I weigh in the region of 10 stone and while the adjustable 41mm upside down forks and single shock are on the soft side for me it doesn’t tie itself in knots or dive heavily under braking. Heavier riders may think differently, however the full adjustability at the front and the preload and rebound changes available at the rear end should help to counteract this. Instead that additional squidge of the springs works in tandem with the comfortable seat to absorb any energy from ruts and bumps in the tarmac leaving you to get on with the important job of having fun. And should you want to let your hair down and stretch the bike’s legs, there is plenty of ground clearance on either side from the wide, flat pegs meaning no nasty scrapes as you explore the lean angle potential. This is helped further by the inclusion of Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres which give the illusion of being a blocky, off road centric adventure option but grip just as well as any road only rubber available in this segment of the market, They are seriously good.
