CFMoto has expanded its adventure touring lineup with the introduction of the new 800MT-ES variant. Set to arrive as a 2026 model, the 800MT-ES brings electronically adjustable semi-active suspension to the range, developed in collaboration with suspension specialist KYB.
The headline upgrade is the semi-active setup, which offers real-time damping adjustment at both ends. The upside-down front forks and rear monoshock automatically adapt to road conditions, rider input, load, and riding style, promising improved comfort on highways and better control when the terrain gets rough. It’s a significant step up for riders who want a more versatile and tech-forward middleweight ADV.
Backing up the suspension is a strong electronics package. The 800MT-ES is equipped with Bosch stability control, traction control, and cornering ABS, adding an extra layer of confidence during spirited riding or tricky conditions. An eight-inch TFT display sits at the centre of the cockpit, handling ride information and connectivity duties, while full LED lighting comes standard.
Powering the new variant is CFMoto’s familiar 799cc parallel-twin engine. The liquid-cooled motor delivers 90 bhp and 67 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed gearbox and a slip-and-assist clutch. The engine is known for its strong mid-range, making it well-suited for both long-distance touring and off-road exploration.
