CFMOTO has announced its full 2026 model lineup. We’ve already released news about the new 675NK, a naked version of the 675SS. The rest of the 2026 CFMOTO lineup includes a new youth electric dirtbike, three updated models, and numerous returning models.
In other CFMOTO news, the brand has released a statement regarding the online rumors about a subscription model for its app features. CFMOTO says this subscription model is not applicable to U.S. customers. The RideSync app, which is free to all CFMOTO USA customers, does not require a subscription, and CFMOTO has no plans to add a subscription. The subscription is only relevant to customers in Europe and other parts of the world who use the CFMOTO Global Ride App. Now on to the model lineup…
2026 CFMOTO CFX-5E | New
Other than the 675NK, the only new model in the 2026 lineup is for the kids: the CFX-5E, a youth electric dirtbike that’s the big brother of the existing CFX-2E. It’s powered by a 4-kW electric motor with a swappable 44-volt battery (five-hour charge time from 0-100%), netting a claimed 62 miles of range. Four speed modes allow tuning speeds based on the rider’s experience or comfort level and include Stage 1 (15 mph), Stage 2 (34 mph), Stage 3 (43 mph), and Reverse (1 mph).
Compared to the smaller CFX-2E, the 5E gets longer suspension travel and larger wheels. Suspension includes a telescopic fork and central monoshock, and the wheels are made of aluminum alloy and measure 14 inches in front and 12 inches in the rear. Seat height is 26.7 inches, and curb weight is 145 lb. The bike also comes with a magnetic safety tether.
The 2026 CFMOTO CFX-5E will be available in Zephyr Blue with an MSRP of $2,599.
2026 CFMOTO 450SS | Updated
The 450SS sportbike is one of three updated models for 2026. The announcement doesn’t dive deep into the updates but does show a change in some figures on the spec chart. Notably, the liquid-cooled 449cc parallel-Twin shows a slight increase in power and torque, from 50 hp to 51 hp at 9,500 rpm and from 28.8 lb-ft of torque at 7,600 rpm to 29.5 lb-ft at 7,750 rpm.
The announcement doesn’t specify where this small increase in power and torque figures comes from, but it does reveal a 5-lb weight gain from the 2025 model, from 370 lb to 375 lb. It also gets a new curved 5-inch TFT screen, tire pressure monitoring, and a USB-C port.

2026 CFMOTO 450CL-C | Updated
The only update to the CFMOTO 450CL-C cruiser seem to be a new color option. Replacing the previous Bordeaux Red is a new Teal Green. Everything else remains the same.
The 450CL-C is powered by a liquid-cooled 449cc parallel-Twin with DOHC, a 270-degree crank, and dual counterbalancers mated to a 6-speed transmission, a slip/assist clutch, and a Gates belt final drive. Braking is provided by J.Juan, and ABS and traction control are standard. The 450CL-C rides on a 58.5-inch wheelbase and has a 27-inch seat height and a 399-lb curb weight.
