Built around CCM's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2008 CCM R35 features a 398 cc (24.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 40 HP (29.2 kW). With a specific output of 100.5 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 R35 measures 128 kg (282 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.31 HP/kg (3.2 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Within MotoLibrary's CCM archive, this model family spans 6 indexed model years from 2007 to 2013, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
