HERITAGE

The full-powered revolution at CFMOTO has begun with a neo-retro bang – CFMOTO 700CL-X Heritage

Style oozes from every angle in this light-weight breakout, and the 693cc parallel twin engine has all the performance answers for city riding and weekend escapes.

And it’s in a package bursting with goodness, including an electronic throttle, anti-lock braking, multiple riding modes, cruise control, full LED lighting, USB charging and an adaptive headlight.

THE NEXT STEP: POWER TO THE MAX

No trimming the performances edges this time: the 700CL-X is the start of CFMOTO’s entry into the full-powered middleweight ranks! With 73hp (55kW) and 68Nm of linear grunt to play with from the extensively updated powerplant, you won’t be left wanting in any situation – even if there’s a pillion perched on the back.

SLIPPER CLUTCH TAKES CARE OF ANY SURPRISES

With an increase in performance the excitement can build, but the 700CL-X Heritage helps to smooth the edges with a slipper clutch – designed to ward off any over engine revs and rear wheel hopping on aggressive down changes.

A TOUCH OF CLASS

The ‘Heritage’ moniker has real meaning: the 700CL-X Heritage has beautiful aesthetics and lovely retro touches such as the round headlight. And the aluminium tank-wrapping side plates complete a watershed styling package.

STRESS-FREE ONE-TOUCH CRUISE CONTROL

Leave the irritating speed differentials to someone else: with one-touch cruise control – a new addition to the CFMOTO electronic arsenal – just set your speed and let the 700CL-X Heritage do the rest. Cruise control is a rarity in the middleweight road bike ranks, so you’re ahead of the pack straight away.

SELF-ADJUSTING HEADLIGHT


The ‘smarts’ in headlights these days has gone to another level and, as well as delivering a great field and depth of vision in low- and high-beam, the 700CL-X has an adaptive headlight that automatically adjusts to ambient brightness. Riding through a dark city tunnel? Let the Heritage look after you.

TRIANGLE DELIVERS A GREAT TUNE

Getting the riding ‘triangle’ – the relationship between the handlebars, seat and footpegs – just right is one of motorcycling’s biggest head scratches, but CFMOTO’s engineers have nailed the 700CL-X Heritage equation. The seat height is a low 800mm and, with its high handlebar, the machine promotes a relaxed, upright riding position.

LIGHT AND HUNGRY


Weight is just 196kg with a full tank of fuel, thanks to features such as the aluminium-alloy swingarm. Light equates to host of advantages, including the ability to turn on a dime and hit those apexes with millimetre precision!

SUSPENDED MOTION

Adjustable KYB suspension delivers a comfortable ride in the city, and when the pace – and pressure – builds the finesse and refinement continues. The limits are endless!
