2023 CFMOTO 700CL-X Base

2023 CFMoto 700CL-X

The 700CL-X is not just a motorcycle, it’s a statement. To some it says classic design. To others it says modern technology. To you, its intended rider, it’ll say so much more. That story will become evident when you ignite the 693cc powerplant and experience this street-smart example of engineering wizardry firsthand. If riding is your thing, we’re betting this thing of beauty has already won you over.

Features may include:

The 700CL-X isn’t just a dream bike. It’s a real bike at an unreal price—built to deliver a riding experience without compromise. Every part of it is as good as it looks. The engine is as good as it sounds. The brakes are as good as they grip. The suspension is as good as it responds. It’s the whole package. And as you can see, it is quite remarkable.

• Ride Modes, Cruise Control, Auto-Canceling Turn Signals

The round, classic-style LCD gauge provides clear riding information. The on-board computer brings you two, on-the-fly riding modes: Sport and Economy. For those long, open stretches, one-touch cruise control takes a load off your wrist while auto-canceling turn signals take a load off your mind.

• Design

Enjoy a fresh take on a classic style with the 700CL-X’s eye-catching angles and retro styling. The bike features a café racer headlight, fuel tank aluminum side panels, a leather seat, spoke-like alloy wheels, and high-performance Pirelli tires.

• LED Lights

Lighting is one of the most important safety features of your motorcycle. Full LED lighting with a signature DRL (daytime running light) & taillight includes an automatic headlight and turn signal system. You’re not just lighting the way. You’re a beacon on the road for others to see.

• Ergonomics

You’ll enjoy a comfortable and relaxed riding experience thanks to a 31.5” seat height and upright handlebars. The low center of gravity makes it remarkably easy to handle, even after a full day in the saddle.

• Lightweight

The newly designed split frame and aluminum swingarm bring the curb weight of the 700CL-X down to 432 lbs., resulting in a high power-to-weight ratio and more responsive handling.

• Slipper Clutch

When downshifting from higher engine speeds, the slipper clutch reduces engine braking force. The clutch is allowed to partially slip until the engine speed matches the motorcycle’s speed. Engine braking is a pleasure, especially during aggressive downshifting.

• Suspension

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.

• Engine

With the flick of your wrist, Bosch® 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.

• Safety Protection

Safety melds with performance as evidenced by the J.Juan dual disc brakes featuring 4-piston calipers and Continental dual channel ABS. Part of the Brembo family of brands, J.Juan is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of motorcycle braking systems. The CL-X also features multiple protection systems including ignition protection, limp mode, rollover sensor, and more.
