China’s small-capacity sportbike segment has a new contender in CFMoto’s 450SR. The new supersport boasts the power of a 500cc bike while weighing in closer to the 250cc class. The advantageous power-to-weight ratio isn’t the only thing the 450SR has going for it, though, with CFMoto’s aggressive, race-inspired styling setting it apart from its closest competition.
The Chinese firm introduced the SR-C21 concept back at EICMA 2021. CFMoto continued to build the hype with updates on the 450SR production model in January and March, 2022. After months of anticipation, the brand finally unveils the road-ready 450SR supersport. While the SR-C21 concept bike ditched street-legal components such as mirrors, turn signals, headlamps, and brake lights, the 450SR integrates the road-worthy equipment without ruining the original design.
