CFMoto has launched a slew of new bikes in the Chinese market. One of them is the 450 NK. The naked reet bike is based on the 450 SR.
CFMoto 450 NK : More Details
In terms of design, the naked street bike sports a modern theme. It comes with sharp design elements, a slim profile and is overall pleasing on the eye. Thanks to the missing fairings, the CFMoto 450 NK is even lighter than the 450 SR, which itself is a light motorcycle. Coming in at 175 kgs, the 450 NK is one of the lightest twin cylinder motorcycles out there.
CFMoto offers some pretty good tech on the 450 NK. This includes an all-LED set-up, colour TFT display for the driver and an aluminium swingarm. The display is compatible with smartphones and offers Bluetooth and navigation support to the rider.
In terms of hardware, the CFMoto 450 NK gets KYB upside-down front forks and a rear KYB monoshock. Brakes are sourced from J.Juan, a Brembo sub-brand. Dual-channel ABS is offered as well. Apart from these, the fuel injection unit is procured for Bosch.
Powertrain of the CFMoto 450 NK
The most unique aspect of the 450 NK is its engine. Unlike the competition, CFMoto has equipped the bike with a 449cc, parallel-twin engine. This engine gets liquid cooling and fuel injection technologies as well. Further, thanks to the 270-degree crankshaft, the engine has an exhaust note that is similar to V-twins.
The same engine on the 450 SR offers 50 HP @ 10,000 rpm. CFMoto is likely to offer the same tuning on the 450 NK as well.
