The CFMoto 250 CL-X is a retro-style derivative of the firm’s 250NK
CFMoto has taken its sweet time to reveal the 250 CL-X, but here it is in all its retro-style glory and, lo and behold, it looks like the smaller version of the 700 CL-X!
The new quarter litre motorcycle from the Chinese manufacturer uses the underpinnings of the 250NK naked bike. But, looks-wise, both the motorcycles could not be further apart.
While the 250NK is a modern naked machine, the 250 CL-X has retro styling through and through. Up front the motorcycle has a circular headlamp, a short fender, and a raised handlebar.
Along the sides, the bike’s shapely tank, radiator shrouds, frame, stepped seat, underbelly exhaust and short tail can be seen and at the back, the 250 CL-X uses the same tail light design as the bigger CL-X.
While the lighting units are all LEDs, the retro-style quarter litre machine also comes with a digital dash. It is powered by a 249cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder motor tuned to produce 28 HP and 22 Nm.
Riding on alloy wheels, the CFMoto 250 CL-X comes equipped with inverted front forks, a rear monoshock and a disc brake on each wheel with ABS assist.
It is not known if the 250 CL-X will ever make it to India. After all, the Chinese brand did not fancy bringing the 700 CL-X to the subcontinent. Nonetheless, we’ll keep our fingers crossed.
