2024 CFMOTO 450MT - Lets Go On An Off-Road Adventure

Just a guy and his borrowed CFMOTO 450MT going on a real off-road adventure in Rotorua New Zealand.
Check out my full review of the CFMOTO 450MT at www.thedirt.co.nz
Here is a little teaser from the article.
"The transformation was like night and day. All of a sudden, a bike that felt cumbersome, sluggish and heavy off-road, turned into a bike I was much more comfortable to throw around and safer to power slide and attack the track with added rider confidence. At least, as much confidence as you are going to get from a bike that weighs 175kgs dry. It really did change my initial opinion on this bike right away and it was time to go bush properly to see how the 450MT handled some real adventure.
I started off by hitting the grass paddock in a somewhat controlled situation, getting used to how the bike felt with the back wheel locked up, and how much I could push the front brakes before the ABS system kicked in. I found I could brake really hard on the front - right to the point where the ABS might kick in - and ride that very fine line, giving me ample braking on the dirt. Once the ABS kicked in then it would take off a bit - which in some situations is not ideal. I suggest all ADV riders practice riding that fine line regularly. It’s a god-send that you can turn the ABS and traction control off on the fly. So no more stopping, finding neutral and making the change. Brilliant!"

This is satisfying to watch. Clear audio quality, no bullshit bgm, no talk, just off-road adventure fun +exhaust sound

[@salesrider691]

A great bike. A great rider. Full stop. Well done 👏

[@AR9ify]

What a great showcase of both talent and bike 👍👌

[@tabbycat4929]

That looks like so much fun. I'm looking into a 450 MT aswell

[@Paramecio_Z]

Un bellezón de moto.

[@jhuffman52]

You are definitely a very skilled off road rider 👏👏

[@motoscreenzllc4433]

Nice Riding! Appreciate seeing some of what the bike is capable of. Well done!

[@sbsb4995]

Absolute perfection.

[@Tubed-i5n]

Finally someone who rides it like they stole it. How it's supposed to be ridden. Good to see not just the handle bar view. CF Moto should give you a tip 🤑Also just the bike sound no silly music, good one. 😎👍

[@RichardS-qh8mi]

Love it! - it’s in its element in that environment, looks wicked on knobblies and covered in mud. The other thing is it’s got enough genuine grunt and speed to actually be bloody quick off road too. What’s not to like.😃👍

[@Tomdogful]

Very well put together. Great sound track too 👌

[@chrispnz]

Cheers.

[@stevencarter7031]

Dude, I wish I could ride my transalp like that...bloody unreal..👍👍

[@WeekendVikingLVG]

Impressive riding.

[@mech5504]

Finally someone put knobby tyres on it! Looks amazing! What tyre size did you put on the back? Because 140/70 knobbies are hard to find. Love the video and the sound too by the way!

[@zaphyrfpv6671]

in EU is omologated with /70 or /80

[@chrispnz]

Metzeler MC360 - 140/80-18.

[@mech5504]

@@chrispnz thank you for the reply! So this extra height of 1.4cm on the back wheel doesn't affect the geometry of the bike?

[@chrispnz]

@@mech5504 not that I can tell. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@FuelledByMuffins]

Stupid question but with the knobby tyres are they still tubeless? 😅

Vídeo TOP, companheiro 👌 Muito bem captado e editado 👏👏👏 Um grande abraço 🤙

Thank you 🤗

[@droidrage7880]

No crash guards, no problem. Awesome riding. Any water or rust issues happening? People are starting to post some.

[@KevinDaken]

The hype is real, It's the new ADV Cult Bike for the masses. A DR650/KLR650 for the Modern ERA. I've owned both, and are now waiting for delivery of my 450MT. 😄😄😄 Is the bike running the STD 14T front sprocket ?

[@chrispnz]

Standard sprockets. 🙂

[@mustang6991]

Thanks for the good video, can you write what tires are front and rear, and what is the tire pressure?

[@36000adam]

Super vidéo et bon son

[@tony94000]

wouaa excellent bike with low price

[@carlossheppard1745]

The sound of the fuel pump tells the whole story. The big whining hiss means it won’t last as long an others made with superior parts that have a low whine to them.

[@chrispnz]

Never knew a strong fuel pump sound relates to reliability issues 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@DirtFlyer]

Sounds like you are quite the expert in whining.

[@gregstretton8584]

If I could ride half as good as you mate, I would go out and buy one of those, But I can't, so I won't 🙂

[@erikherdian5443]

was that a standard exhaust? nice sound

[@chrispnz]

Yes the stock exhaust. Sounds very nice.

[@spotthedogg]

Why are you blipping the throttle and interrupting the computer’s warm up procedure?

[@chrispnz]

It was well warm by that time thanks to the magic of video editing..

[@tombura68]

Muy buen video, la moto se siente agil ? es comoda?, veo que cambiastes las cubiertas, las que trae dirias que para el off no son suficientes, saludos desde Argentina.

[@chrispnz]

Feels as agile as a 180+kg bike can feel. Seat is too low for me but otherwise its pretty good.

[@igorivanov7078]

[@kaotic2007]

looks like a fun bike. this one or a old (new) DR 650 SE?

[@chrispnz]

I would probably go the CFMOTO. I think it looks cooler in my opinion and I want to be riding something I think looks cool.

[@dalegrover7633]

​@@chrispnz & the fact you can't buy a DR650 new now. I'm in Nelson& have had my 450MT for a week now, will be changing the tyres once the run in period is over.

[@robinmendozagomez8647]

Hello my friend what tyres did you put in the CF moto 450

[@Vito9124]

How does it feel weight wise compared to Crf300 Rally or similar bikes?

[@chrispnz]

Heavier of course. And not as nimble as my 300 Rally. But still manageable enough with some skill.

[@Vito9124]

@@chrispnz Gotcha, would you choose this over the CRF as a do it all bike?

[@chrispnz]

@@Vito9124 I think purely on the weight factor, for me I would choose the CRF as it will go places that are more difficult. Just wish the Honda has a little bit more power.

[@Vito9124]

@@chrispnz Hopefully Honda will come along with a 450 version of the Rally, just as smooth as the V-Twin CFmoto but lighter, and with longer service intervals.

You are doing yourself a disservice if you write this bike off just because it is Chinese.
