the CFMoto 1000 MT-X aims high (and cheap)

CFMoto is very clear about the path to follow in the coming years to obtain its place within the world of motorcycles, and the recently leaked 1000 MT-X It is a good proof of this.

Because one thing is almost indisputable in these times: Brands, in order to be relevant in this competitive sector, require an increasingly wider range of models and in this the Chinese are the ones. “number one”.

CFMoto 1000 MT-X 2026: What we know

Until now we had seen how CFMoto was gradually climbing steps in each of the categories where it has a presence. Motorcycles that are increasingly more elaborate and equipped, with more powerful engines and performance in line with the latter. All this without giving up top-level equipment, as well as a tight final rate that is difficult to beat.

The new 675NK and 750SR‑S are clear examples of what we are talking about. However, currently, the ADV segment is probably the most in demand and that is why the Chinese brand is preparing its entry through the front door to the “queen category” of it. Everything indicates that its new 1000 MT-X will be the first to be incorporated, although different versions of the model will probably arrive later based on different types of configuration and equipment.

In any case, the latest rumors around the brand and the upcoming EICMA 2025 speak precisely of the possible official presentation of this 1000 MT-X, a model with a clear hard-core focus that, according to the first leaked information, would be equipped with a new three-cylinder engine capable of offering in the first instance 111 HP of power at 8,500 rpm and 105 Nm of maximum torque at 6,250 revolutions. All this for an estimated weight in running order (guiding us to the figures declared by its younger sister, the 800 MT-X), of about 235 kilograms in running order.

What stands out is its country configuration with 21″ and 18″ wheels, front and rear respectively, both shod with Offroad tires. Likewise, within the standard equipment it is expected to offer a wide technological compendium which would include Full-LED lighting, disconnectable ABS and traction control signed by Bosch, as well as a large, state-of-the-art full-color TFT screen.

Other features that could be part of the original configuration of the 1000 MT-X would be the inclusion of heated grips and seat, full Brembo braking or a quick shift system. If to all of the above we add the fact that CFMoto will most likely launch its new model on the market with a truly striking official price (around 10/12 thousand euros), we would be, almost without a doubt, in front of one of the most interesting options in the segment.

In any case, based on the data offered so far, it will not be until a few weeks, coinciding with EICMA 2025, when we will be able to clear up any doubts. Especially those that allude to the availability of the model in our market, something that you may already be aware of. Marivent Jetsofficial distributor of the brand in our country since last May.
