CFMOTO has shared some images on its Facebook page that show the CLX 700 concept looking remarkably close to production spec.
We first saw the CLX 700 at EICMA in 2019 at the firm’s swanky launch event in Milan. Back then this model was a speculative glance at how future models from the brand could look. Now though, with CFMoto’s UK PR team sharing images of the bike on Facebook, it might be a little closer than first thought.

The bike is a nailed on MT-07 rival, featuring a 692cc, parallel twin-cylinder engine that is claimed to make 74bhp and 49lb-ft of torque. The bike weighs in at 183kg, includes a 14l fuel tank, and comes equipped with a slipper clutch and solid-looking J.Juan calipers and discs.
As with the MT-07 is will be gunning for, the CLX 700 isn’t just a one bike range. The bike is available in three distinctly different flavours, all three of which were on show at EICMA last year. There is a rugged scrambler version, featuring knobbly tyres and saddlebags, and also a slick-shod super naked, complete with angular bodywork and bright graphics.
Until we receive any official confirmation regarding the model, further details around price and availability are unknown – as is any confirmation that this is anything more than just a concept. You do have to wonder though, why else would the CFMoto team be sharing these images on social media?
