What happens next is pure entertainment. Even if you ride it for practical reasons, the only thing that can overtake you are your happy thoughts.Features may include:When you start with a clean sheet of paper and the best intentions this is what you get. With its cafe-racer style and outstanding performance, the 700 CL-X Sport gives you something few motorcycles can--the confidence to show up wherever you want. The ABS, electronic throttle, slipper clutch, and cruise control make this your top pick whether you're new to the saddle or highly experienced.Ride Modes, Cruise Control, Auto-Canceling Turn SignalsThe 700 CL-X Sport is fitted with two on-the-fly riding modes: Sport and Eco. Sport mode utilizes full engine power and sharp throttle response, while Eco allows for softer throttle inputs and increased fuel efficiency. For those long, open stretches of road, one-touch cruise control lets you rest your throttle hand. Auto-canceling turn signals take your mind off your controls and focus your concentration back on the road.CF Slipper ClutchThe slipper clutch is the best way to enjoy the ups and downshifts of riding. When downshifting from higher engine speeds, the slipper clutch reduces engine braking force. The clutch slips--just enough--until the engine speed matches the motorcycle's speed. Transmission is in sync with engine. Engine is in sync with rider.Brembo BrakesThese brakes are for race day and every day. The front wheel sports dual Brembo Stylema 320mm discs and a beefy 4-piston caliper. The rear disc, sporting a 2-pistion caliper, is a 260mm Brembo Stylema. If these massive brakes don't instill total confidence, the Continental dual-channel ABS certainly will.SuspensionIf the way it looks impresses you, putting it through its paces will blow your happy mind. Full chromoly steel frame construction creates the rigidity of a performance motorcycle on the hunt for S-curves. The top-of-the-line KYB 41mm, fully adjustable, upside-down fork paired with a KYB link-mounted rear shock create a mean, leaning machine.Lightweight FrameThe full chromoly steel frame construction is complemented with a lightweight gravity cast aluminum swingarm. Less weight equals more performance.Wheels and TiresYou can lean on these tires with utmost confidence. Behold the Maxxis MA-ST2. A.K.A. Supermaxx ST. Superb grip. Reliable in wet conditions. Great road feel. Now about those rims. Gorgeous. Need we say more?LightingLighting is one of the most important safety features of your motorcycle. Full LED lighting with signature DRL (daytime running light) and taillight includes an automatic headlight and turn signal system. You're not just lighting the way. You're a beaming presence for everyone to see.Retro StyleIn the spirit of cafe racer tradition, the Sport version of the CL-X gets clip-on handlebars with bar-end mirrors. The tail section features an optional rider pillion.EngineWith the flick of your wrist, Bosch(R) EFI delivers the precise amount of fuel to the 693cc, liquid-cooled, parallel twin unleashing 74 exhilarating horsepower at 8500 rpm. Multiple power modes give you the choice of engine power delivery to suit riding conditions or preferred riding style. ETC (electronic throttle control), a drive-by-wire fuel delivery system, enlists a sensor to read throttle input which is transmitted to the ECU (electronic control unit) for lightning-fast engine response. The 2023 CFMOTO 700 CL-X Sport distinguishes itself with a compact, liquid-cooled twin that revs cleanly to 8500 RPM and makes a defined, responsive torque of 50.227836 Ft Lbs. This two-cylinder inline, 4-stroke, DOHC powerplant sits in a steel frame and is paired with a six-speed manual transmission with a CF-SC slipper clutch for precise, confident shifts. The chassis rides on aluminum wheels sized 17 x 3.5 inches at the front and 17 x 4.5 inches at the rear, with tubeless Maxxis SuperMaxx ST tires that keep grip from the asphalt to the edge of the track. From the ride to the ride quality, every element speaks to precision and control. The front suspension uses a 41 mm inverted KYB fork with front adjustable fork preload and front adjustable rebound damping, while the rear features a KYB link-mounted single shock with progressive rate, preload, and rebound adjustment. Braking is strong and confident with Brembo Stylema hydraulic front and rear discs, 260 mm front rotors, and ABS brakes that help manage temperature and fade on spirited rides. The geometry is grounded by a wheelbase of 1435.1 mm and a seat height of 800.1 mm, delivering a balanced stance for both rider and passenger on long cruises or tight switchbacks. A 12.9 liter fuel tank and a vinyl seat accommodate two for extended adventures, with a digital instrumentation suite that includes a clock, tachometer, speedometer, and trip odometer. The build emphasizes durability and everyday practicality, combining a robust steel frame with plastic body components and exterior guards that resist the rigors of street riding. The rear suspension is a single, rear adjustable shock with spring preload and rebound damping, designed to keep handling composed as fuel levels change and suspension loads vary. Whether you're carving corners or cruising for miles, the 700 CL-X Sport is engineered to deliver confidence with every turn. View the CFMOTO 700 CL-X Sport at Vallely Sport & Marine.
