Rumour has it the 2025 CFMoto 700MT adventure-touring motorcycle is set to debut in Malaysia, perhaps as soon as March. According to information received, the 700MT is set to be more affordably priced at around RM34,000.
Although the 700MT might be seen as competing with CFMoto’s other adventure-touring machines, the 800MT, 800MT Explore and 800MT-X, the 700MT is actually based on the CFMoto 650MT. With a liquid-cooled parallel-twin displacing 693 cc, the 700MT gets 74 hp at 6,500 rpm with 68 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm.
A slip and assist clutch equipped six-speed gearbox and chain final drive sends power to the rear wheel, while no ride modes are provided. A TFT-LCD screen displays the necessary information and there are two USB charging sockets located at the side of the panel.
The 700MT gets spoked aluminium wheels, sized 19-inches in front and 17-inches in the rear, wearing 110/80 and 150/70 rubber. Suspension is done with adjustable 43 mm diameter upside-down forks while the back end is held up with a monoshock adjustable for preload and rebound.
Twin brake discs handle stopping duties while two-channel ABS is standard equipment, though no word if it can be switched off for off-road riding. Traction control is also standard, switchable for off-road.
Seat height is set at 800 mm, with a tall seat available as an option. The fuel tank holds 20-litres, making the 700 MT suitable for long distance touring ride, while weight is listed at 218 kg.
Other riding conveniences include a manually adjustable windshield, hand guards, bash plate under the engine, tyre pressure monitoring and radiator guard. There is also the CFMOTO 700MT Adventure, featuring different styling and headlights, closer in looks to the Honda Africa Twin, though there was no information as to this model variant coming into Malaysia.
Funny the pictures used was the existing 700mt(which we didn’t get) instead of the all new 2025 700mt.
Unless we will only get the old model which just upgraded the engine but with the old 650mt body.
