CFMOTO 450CL-C ‘Bobber’
CFMOTO have revealed a new addition to their cruiser line, with the current 450CL-C now joined by a Bobber edition on their popular 450 cc twin-cylinder platform.
CFMOTO reckon the Bobber brings a sportier and more aggressive edge to the 450CL-C range, blending British-inspired design with modern engineering, including a sleek tank, round headlights, and dual exhausts.
The extended wheelbase, distinctive rider triangle, and sculpted lines ensure the Bobber will stand out alongside that floating soft-tail solo seat constructed from one-piece die-cast aluminium alloy, complete with a brushed aluminium finish.
Plus, there’s pinstripe retro textured leather, a tail nameplate and stitching to add more appeal. That perch is 25 mm further from terra firma than the CL-C, 715 mm compared to the standard CL-C at 690 mm.
The heart of the 450CL-C Bobber is the now pretty well-proven 270° crankshaft 449 cc parallel-twin. In this iteration it makes 30 kW at 8000 rpm, and 42 Nm at 6250 rpm. A dual-balance shaft quells the vibes you don’t want.
A Gates Belt Drive is sure to keep owners who don’t want to muck around with lubing a chain happy.
The bike’s extended rear fender, stamped from durable sheet metal and measuring 760 mm (20 cm longer than the standard 450CL-C), is claimed to offer superior protection against water and mud.
The 450CL-C Bobber rides on a 1485 mm wheelbase and tips the scales at 177kg wet.
The handlebars extend 20 mm further forward, and footrests 80 mm backward, compared to the CL-C, for a more low-slung posture.
The bike runs 37 mm upside-down front forks while braking duties taken care are of by a 320 mm single front disc with a J.Juan four-piston radial caliper. ABS and a traction control systems are standard.
The MY24 CFMOTO 450CL-C Bobber is now available in Nebula Black and will retail for a manufacturer’s suggested price of $8,990 Ride Away. The model is backed by CFMOTO’s 3-Year Factory Warranty program.
