2023 CF Moto 450SS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in CF Moto's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2023 CF Moto 450SS utilizes a 450 cc (27.5 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 50 HP (36.5 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 39.1 Nm (28.8 lb-ft) at 7,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 111.1 HP per liter and a 1,900 rpm working window between peak torque (7,600 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), 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 450SS measures 168 kg (370 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.3 HP/kg (3.36 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,365 mm (53.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 139 km/h (86 mph).
