Following the remarkable debut of the 800MT adventure-touring range, CFMOTO has raised the bar further for 2023 by introducing a fourth variant to the rapidly expanding range with its new flagship model, the 800MT Explore.
An evolution of the existing Touring model, the new 800MT Explore features a compilation of technical updates set to maximise long-distance comfort whilst taking the overall ownership experience to new heights, thanks to the introduction of an advanced traction control system, rear radar technology, an 8-inch Multi-Media Interface (MMI) display, several new ride modes, switchable ABS front and rear, and new Michelin tyres.
NEW FEATURES
Retuned 799cc parallel-twin engine
8-inch Multi-Media Interface display
Apple Car Play & Bluetooth connectivity
Traction Control Systems (TC)
Behind Radar System (BRS)
Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
Lane Change Assist (LCA)
Rear Collision Warning (RCW)
Choice between six riding modes
Switchable ABS front and rear
Michelin ANAKEE Adventure tyres
Developed through the technical partnership between CFMOTO and KTM. The 799cc parallel-twin engines 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.
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.
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 TERRAIN:provides a softer throttle response than OFF-ROAD with no TC intervention. The rear wheel ABS is also 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.
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 riders 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 motorcycles 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.
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.\
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-pieceBOSCH 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 bikes speed and inclination to aid in maintaining the riders intended line through corners.
When on the move, theheated seatandheated gripseach offer three levels of warmth and are easily adjustable on the fly.
Cruise controlassists with reducing rider fatigue, improves touring comfort and is easily set and adjusted via buttons on the left switchblock.
ConvenientUSB portsand a12v socket are included for charging devices, including smartphones.
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.
CFMOTO Motorcycles continue to impress customers around the world and we have that much confidence in our quality, that all models are backed by a 2 Year Warranty.
