POWER TO CONQUER EVERY UNCHARTED PATH

It blends rugged off-road capability, long-distance comfort, and advanced electronics – delivering flagship performance and features without the flagship price.

Key Specs:

ENGINEERED FOR NEW ZEALAND ADVENTURE INSANITY

The 1000MT-X is a beast forged for real Kiwi adventure, capable, unbreakable, and primed to devour anything from brutal corrugations to endless sand rivers.

Built on KTM’s legendary LC8c DNA (Duke 990 R, 990 RC R), CFMOTO’s 946.2cc parallel-twin delivers world-shattering torque—over 90% from 5,500–8,000 rpm—with Bosch MSE 9.0 EFI throttle response so razor-sharp it feels telepathic. This 56kg featherweight monster survived 100,000km of endurance hell, with forged camshafts, alloy crankcase, and a slick vertically-stacked 6-speed gearbox built to laugh at abuse.

DESIGN AND ERGONOMICS
