CFMOTO Australia has confirmed the 2026 1000MT-X will arrive in late May 2026, marking the brand’s first genuine entry into the large-capacity adventure motorcycle segment at $18,990 rideaway.
First shown at EICMA 2025, the 1000MT-X is built around a 946cc parallel-twin producing 83kW and 105Nm. CFMOTO says the engine is tuned for real-world adventure use, with over 90 per cent of peak torque available between 5500 and 8000rpm.
Suspension duties are handled by fully adjustable KYB 48mm USD forks with 230mm of travel, paired to a fully adjustable KYB rear monoshock with remote preload adjustment. A low-suspension variant, the 1000MT-X LS, reduces travel to 190mm at both ends and drops seat height from 870mm to 830mm. Both models roll on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke rims wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres.
Braking is handled by Brembo, with dual 320mm floating front discs and four-piston radial calipers, backed by a Bosch six-axis IMU that enables cornering ABS and three-stage traction control.
The IMU also supports five ride modes: Standard, Off Road, Rain, All Terrain, and a customisable Master mode. Wheelie control, cruise control, an up/down quickshifter, and a power-assisted slipper clutch are all standard.
The 1000MT-X carries a 22.5-litre fuel tank, which CFMOTO says delivers more than 500km of range under mixed riding conditions. An 8.0-inch vertical TFT touchscreen handles navigation and vehicle data, with Type-A and Type-C USB-C charging, Bluetooth connectivity via the CFMOTO RIDE app, heated grips, and a heated seat also included.
An adjustable windscreen, LED lighting, and tyre pressure monitoring system round out the feature set. Skid plate, handguards, and chain guard come fitted as standard.
To mark the launch, CFMOTO is offering buyers a choice of two introductory accessory packs, available until 30 June 2026. The Adventure Pack, valued at $1989, includes a tall windshield, alloy luggage kit, top case backrest, and side case bracket.
The Rally Pack, valued at $1859, comprises a dual-stage foam air filter, upper crash bars, alloy skid plate, headlight guard, wrap-around handguards, billet rally pegs, and a shortened billet clutch lever.
The standard 1000MT-X is available in Tactical Green or Aerolite Grey. The LS variant is offered in Aerolite Grey only.
