Meet the CFMoto 250 Dual: CFMoto’s New Entry-Level Adventure Motorcycle

Meet the CFMoto 250 Dual, a new 249cc entry-level adventure motorcycle with 24hp, riding on 21/18-inch spoke wheels, dual-channel ABS and off-road-ready ground clearance.

What is the CFMoto 250 Dual?

CFMoto 250 Dual is an entry-level dual-sport motorcycle from the Chinese motorcycle maker. It is intended for riders who need a motorcycle for urban commuting, poor roads, and trail use.

As for its name, the “250” refers to the motorcycle’s 249cc engine capacity, while “Dual” highlights its dual-purpose role.

How does the CFMoto 250 Dual look?

The CFMoto 250 Dual features a proper, purposeful dual-sport silhouette, with its raised front mudguard, flat seat, upright handlebar, slim side panels, high-mounted exhaust and a compact tail section.

The motorcycle is offered in Tundra Grey, Polar White and Lime Green.

What engine does it use?

The CFMoto 250 Dual uses a 249cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke, liquid-cooled engine with electronic fuel injection. This 249cc single-cylinder makes about 24hp at 8,000rpm, along with 22.5Nm of peak torque at 7,000rpm.

That output places the motorcycle firmly in the practical entry-level class. It is not intended to deliver the forceful acceleration or effortless cruising ability of larger middleweight capacity models.

What type of electronics does the CFMoto 250 Dual get?

CFMoto has taken a much more conservative approach to electronics. It still features a modest list of modern technology, such as a digital instrument display, LED headlights, LED taillights, a USB Type-A charging port, a side-stand safety switch, and dual-channel ABS.

What chassis and suspension does the CFMoto 250 Dual use?

The CFMoto 250 Dual uses a steel-tube frame, engineered to work across varied road conditions. A dual-purpose motorcycle needs a chassis that can handle multiple kinds of stress.

The motorcycle rides on a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked-wheel combination. As for its suspension, the dual sport 250 is fitted with upside-down telescopic forks at the front with 160mm of suspension travel and a rear monoshock.

What braking setup does the CFMoto 250 Dual get?

The CFMoto 250 Dual uses disc brakes at both ends, with a 265mm front disc and a 220mm rear disc. The front brake uses a two-piston calliper, while the rear is operated by a single-piston calliper.

Where has the CFMoto 250 Dual been launched, and what are its global prospects?

The CFMoto 250 Dual has been officially launched in Malaysia, where it is available through authorised CFMoto dealerships for RM 9,888. While an official update on global availability isn’t available, considering the strong demand for this model in the South Asian markets and select European markets, expect CFMoto to make it available in those markets.
