CFMoto 450MT India launch delayed: Here’s why
As per the online reports, the 450MT adventure bike was going to be the first product launch of CFMoto in India. The brand had even conducted media rides earlier this year. However, the launch plan has been pushed due to the non-compliance with the E20 fuel.
450MT engine is not compatible with the E20 fuel, which the company has started working on to make it compliant. However, it will take some time, which has led to the launch delay. Earlier, the brand was targeting a scheduled timeline for the launch by Diwali 2025.
Speaking of the 450MT, it is an adventure-tourer bike that is already on sale in multiple global markets. It is widely popular due to its capabilities and smooth performance. It is also loaded with the latest features like TFT console, ride modes, Bluetooth compatibility, and more.
With that said, the exact launch timeline is yet to be revealed by the company. We suspect that the 450MT will launch in the first quarter of 2026. Since the new GST rates have made bikes above 350cc costly, it’ll be positioned around the Rs 3.75 lakh mark.
