Positioned in CCM's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2009 CCM FT35s features a 398 cc (24.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 42 HP (30.7 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 105.5 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the FT35s measures 126 kg (278 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.33 HP/kg (3 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
