Gone are the days of Chinese motorcycle manufacturers focusing solely on small-displacement, appliance-like two-wheelers designed simply for shuttling folks from point A to B. Recent years have ushered in new performance-oriented models that challenge those of more established European, American, and Japanese brands. A big chunk of these new models undoubtedly come from CFMoto, and they show no signs of slowing down.
At EICMA 2023, CFMoto didn’t hesitate to assert its dominance by showcasing its most performance-oriented engine to date, an all-new three-cylinder engine. According to CFMoto, the new 675cc engine is a completely new in-house project by the brand. However, from its displacement alone, one can’t help but draw a few similarities from the Triumph 675cc engine, undoubtedly one of the most iconic triples of the modern era. Nevertheless, whether or not CFMoto used the Triumph engine as a blueprint doesn’t take away from its impressive specs, at least on paper.
