CFMOTO 550MT and 550MT-X: two new adventure models

Meet the CFMOTO 550MT and 550MT-X, unveiled at EICMA 2026. The 550MT is designed for long-distance touring, with a 23-litre tank and cruise control. The 550MT-X pairs long-travel suspension with a 21-inch front wheel and three riding modes for off-road riding.

Both models use our new 526cc parallel-twin engine, which delivers 40 kW (54 hp) at 8,500 rpm and 52 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Both feature a bi-directional quickshifter for upshifts and downshifts.

Irish prices and arrival dates are TBC. Specifications shown are development-phase data and may change for production.

550MT: equipment for the journey

The 550MT pairs its 526cc parallel twin with a 23-litre fuel tank and an 800 mm seat height, adjustable to 820 mm. Fully adjustable KYB suspension is fitted at both ends.

An inertial measurement unit (IMU) supports the Bosch cornering ABS. The 550MT also comes with traction control, cruise control and a rear detection system (RDS).

An 8-inch MMI 2.0 display with CarPlay sits at the centre of the cockpit. The smart key supports Bluetooth auto-sensing and NFC. Alongside the bi-directional quickshifter, the 550MT line-up includes an optional electronic-clutch version.

550MT-X: built for adventure

CFMOTO Global Brand Ambassador Mario Román joined us on stage at EICMA for the unveiling of the 550MT-X. Designed for off-road riding, the X has a narrow waist and a rally-inspired front end.

Fully adjustable KYB suspension provides 230 mm of travel at the front and 220 mm at the rear. Ground clearance is 250 mm. The 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels wear CST tyres, with J.Juan brakes and 320 mm front and 240 mm rear discs.

At 172 kg dry, the 550MT-X weighs 3 kg less than the 450MT and produces around 30% more power. It has a 16-litre fuel tank and an 850 mm seat height, adjustable to 830 mm.

The 550MT-X features a ride-by-wire throttle, three riding modes and a bi-directional quickshifter. ABS and traction control are switchable, and the vertical 6.2-inch display supports Motoplay connectivity.

550MT or 550MT-X: which suits your next ride?

For longer road journeys, the 550MT offers a 23-litre fuel tank, cruise control and a seat that can be set as low as 800 mm. Its 8-inch display supports CarPlay.

For rougher terrain, the 550MT-X combines a 21-inch front wheel with long-travel suspension and 250 mm of ground clearance. You can choose between three riding modes and switch off ABS and traction control.
