CFMoto Pulls The Covers Off The New 250 CL-X Neo-Retro Roadster

The 250 CL-X is a new 250cc neo-retro roadster from Chinese manufacturer CFMoto. This new motorcycle is essentially based on the CFMoto 250 NK, a stylish, small-displacement naked bike. The majority of the underpinnings have been retained, while the NK's sharp modern bodywork has been replaced with more rounded neo-retro forms. It serves as the entry-level option to the company’s CL-X range, fronted by the 700 CL-X series.

The 250 CL-X has made its debut in the Indian market. Predominantly, it takes the form of its bigger siblings thanks to similar styling cues. For starters, there's a classic round headlamp surrounded by a distinctive X-shaped DRL. The fuel tank and tail portion are well-matched, and the stepped seat gives it a sporty aesthetic. Like the 250 NK, it is powered by a 249cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 28hp and 16 ft-lbs of torque. It features on-the-fly riding modes, as well as a slipper clutch for added convenience on city rides.
