2025 CFMOTO 450SS Zircon Black
The 450SS roars onto the tarmac with a 270° crank that mimics a V-twin’s heart-pounding torque without sacrificing parallel twin horsepower. Clamp down on the Brembo M40 brakes, where a massive 320mm rotor and 4-piston caliper obliterate speed. Feel every shift engage with lethal precision, the slipper clutch handling downshifts like a samurai. In the corners you’re on the attack. The advanced multi-link rear suspension transforms every input into a masterclass in motion. There’s even a reverse shifter option for track days. So, where does this leave the competition? Who?
449cc DOHC Engine with Bosch® EFIHere’s a 50 hp wake-up call to every 500-class sport bike. This in-house-developed, compact, 449cc, parallel-twin, DOHC engine is built to take the lead. The all-new design is characterized by a 270° crankshaft angle. Precision-engineered double balance shafts effectively counteract the inherent vibrations of a parallel-twin engine, ensuring smooth operation across the rev band. Here are the stats: 50 hp @ 9500 rpm. 28.8 lb-ft torque @ 7600 rpm. Bosch® EFI. |
Brembo® Front Disc Brakes with ABSContinental ABS continuously adjusts braking pressure to each wheel individually, allowing for precise and effective deceleration while avoiding wheel lock-up. Up front a 4-piston Brembo® caliper bites down on a 320mm, single floating disc. The floating design allows the disc to expand and contract, reducing the risk of warping or deformation. The rear brake features a 220mm single disc with a single piston caliper. |
SuspensionA sport-oriented front and rear suspension system provides exceptional stability and control. The rear swing arm and rear suspension are connected by a multi-link structure inspired by professional superbikes. This distributes forces and reduces rear-end squat and suspension compression, improving stability and control especially when pushing the limits. |
Reverse ShiftingAchieved by repositioning the connecting rod, reverse shifting is a feature in professional racing bikes. In this configuration, upshifts are done by pushing the lever down, and downshifts by pulling up. This allows for faster, seamless gear changes, especially when accelerating out of corners. |
DesignEvery curve and contour exude quality and sophistication. Aerodynamic winglets generate 1.6 times more downforce at higher speeds, improving traction and enhancing the bike's overall stability. The signature split front face line cowling design features enlarged grooves, strategically placed to minimize drag. A pair of flowing LED headlights with exclusive lighting animation, create an intense and captivating gaze. |
