CFMoto’ 450SS is powered by a 449cc DOHC parallel-twin engine, delivering a claimed 50 hp and 28.8 lb-ft of torque at 9,500 rpm and 7,600 rpm, respectively. Designed with a 270-degree crankshaft, it emulates V-twin torque characteristics, combining low-end power with smooth operation across the rev range thanks to dual balance shafts. The slipper clutch enables precise downshifts, ideal for aggressive cornering and confident handling. Thinking of trackdays? The reverse shifter option allows for optimizing upshifts, making gear transitions even quicker and more intuitive under acceleration.
Brembo brakes handle stopping power, featuring a 320mm front disc with a four-piston caliper and Continental ABS that adjusts pressure independently to prevent lockups. This setup delivers exceptional braking control, especially under high-performance conditions, while a 220mm rear disc complements the front brakes for balanced deceleration. Paired with advanced multi-link rear suspension inspired by superbike engineering, the 450SS offers outstanding stability, translating every corner and maneuver into precise motion with minimized rear-end squat.
In terms of design, the 450SS is built for aerodynamic efficiency and visual appeal. Winglets increase downforce by 1.6 times at high speeds, enhancing traction and stability. The split front cowl is styled to reduce drag, while LED headlights with animated lighting add an intense, signature look. This bike combines sharp design with racing-inspired functionality, positioning the 450SS as a serious competitor in the 500cc sport class.
The 2025 CFMoto 450SS is priced at $5,699 and is available in Nebula White and Zircon Black.
