KATHMANDU: CFMOTO Nepal is set to introduce two new middleweight motorcycles in the local market. The company will soon launch the CFMOTO 450 CLC and the 450 CLC Bobber across Nepal.
Both models expand CFMOTO’s 450 lineup. They are aimed at young riders, daily commuters, and lifestyle users. The focus is on performance, design, and everyday usability.
The CFMOTO 450 CLC features a sporty and modern design. It offers upright ergonomics and agile handling. The motorcycle is positioned for city riding and short touring use.
The 450 CLC Bobber adopts a classic bobber-style look. It has a low stance and minimalist bodywork. The model targets riders who prefer retro design with modern performance.
Powering both motorcycles is a 449.5cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine. It uses a DOHC setup and a 270-degree crankshaft. Power output is around 30 kW (about 40 hp) with torque close to 42 Nm, depending on market specification.
The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. A CF-SC slipper clutch is standard. Several variants also feature a Gates belt drive, which reduces maintenance and improves ride smoothness.
Suspension duties are handled by inverted front forks and a rear mono-shock with preload adjustment. Braking comes from J. Juan disc brakes with ABS. Wheel sizes are 16 inches, fitted with wide tires.
The motorcycles have a 12-liter fuel tank and a low seat height, ranging between 690 mm and 715 mm. Curb weight is around 177 to 181 kg, depending on the model.
CFMOTO Nepal says the motorcycles will be available soon through authorized dealerships nationwide. Pricing and launch event details will be announced in the coming weeks.
CFMOTO motorcycles in Nepal are distributed by Rishi Trade Centre.
