CFMOTO CL450 C

The CFMOTO CL450 C is a modern neo-retro motorcycle that brings fresh competition to the accessible mid-displacement segment. Built on CFMOTO’s proven 450 platform shared with the 450NK and 450SR, this scrambler-inspired machine combines classic aesthetics with thoroughly modern technology—TFT display, ride-by-wire throttle, and contemporary electronics wrapped in vintage-inspired bodywork. It represents a genuine alternative for riders seeking character and capability at a competitive price point.

At the heart sits a 449cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine producing approximately 45 horsepower at 9,500 rpm and 39 Newton-meters of torque at 7,000 rpm. This is a rev-happy engine that rewards engagement, delivering smooth power through a broad rev range with the linear character suited to both urban commuting and weekend exploration. The modern engine management ensures clean, consistent fueling in all conditions.

The steel trellis frame provides a rigid, lightweight platform paired with USD forks and a rear monoshock for composed handling. At approximately 185 kilograms with an 800mm seat height, the CL450 C sits nimble and accessible. The 17-inch alloy wheels front and rear maintain agile urban proportions, while the overall chassis geometry balances everyday maneuverability with genuine stability at higher speeds. Modern braking and dual-channel ABS complete a capable package.

The CL450 C’s neo-retro character and exposed mechanicals benefit directly from dedicated protection. Vroom Vroom Accessories offers crafted crash bars that shield the engine during urban riding, while engine guards protect critical components from road hazards. Luggage racks and frames add practical touring capability, and frame protection preserves the machine’s finish. Every accessory is designed to integrate with the CL450 C’s scrambler-inspired aesthetic while enhancing its functionality for daily use.
