CFMoto has unveiled a sportier and more aggressive version of its 800MT adventure tourer. Called the CFMoto 800MT Sport R, the bike features some chassis and ergonomics updates to make it sharper handling, on the road, or on track. The standard MT800’s J. Juan brakes have been replaced by Brembo units and come with braided steel lines.
While it was built as a potent adventure bike, CFMOTO decided to give it a twist during a special unveiling at EICMA, last week. As a result, the 800MT Sport R features some changes to its chassis and ergonomics to make it sharper on the road or track.
The new version comes with smaller 17-inch front wheel, and the wheels also get much sportier and track-focussed Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres. The front fork is expected to be a revised KYB unit, with the rebound and compression tweaked, and the shock now is from Ohlins. The bike also gets a lighter SC Project exhaust, so the 800MT Sport R should be slightly lighter than the 231 kg 800MT.
CFMOTO also upgraded its stock J.Juan brake callipers to a high performance Brembo brakes. Other notable features include CFMOTO Pruestel GP Moto3 team inspired colourway.
Unfortunately, no words from CFMOTO whether the 800MT Sport R will be going into production anytime soon. If it does, expect some tweak than the concept shown in Milan.
