The flagship adventure model in the MT series, the 1000MT-X takes capability to the next level. It’s been developed to deliver outstanding off-road performance while preserving the long-distance touring comfort and confidence the MT range is known for.
Positioned above the proven 800MT-X, the 1000MT-X targets riders who want maximum capability, pedigree componentry, and modern tech in a package that remains confidence-inspiring and manageable on Australian terrain. With an excellent range from its 22.5 L twin-tank system and rider-first ergonomics, the 1000MT-X is engineered for everything from weekday commuting to remote outback routes and multi-day expeditions.
Positioned for riders who demand premium componentry, advanced technology, and exceptional versatility, the 1000MT-X offers a refined balance of power, control, and endurance for Australia’s toughest terrain.
Built around a 946.2 cc LC8c-based parallel twin and equipped with premium KYB suspension, Brembo brakes, Bosch 6-axis IMU, and 21”/18” wheels, the 1000MT-X elevates the MT platform into true litre class territory. It blends rugged off-road capability, long-distance comfort, and advanced electronics – delivering flagship performance and features without the flagship price.

DESIGN AND ERGONOMICS
The CFMOTO 1000MT-X equips riders for boundless long haul adventures with cutting-edge technology and advanced rider aids that deliver confidence across every mile.
MT-X family design with an aggressive, rally-inspired front beak, high fender, and muscular tank forms
Narrow upper body and 2-1 seat design improve rider feel and control – seated on road or standing off road
Adjustable windscreen and position-adjustable handlebars enable fine-tuning for rider height and conditions
Full aluminium skid plate & chain guard for durability; robust handguards for brush & weather protection
Twin side-mounted fuel tanks lower the centre of gravity, improve balance, and preserve knee room for stand-up riding
ENGINEERED FOR AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURE INSANITY
The 1000MT-X is a beast forged for real Australian outback mayhem, capable, unbreakable, and primed to devour anything from brutal corrugations to endless sand rivers.
Built on KTM’s legendary LC8c DNA (Duke 990 R, 990 RC R), CFMOTO’s 946.2cc parallel-twin delivers world-shattering torque—over 90% from 5,500–8,000 rpm—with Bosch MSE 9.0 EFI throttle response so razor-sharp it feels telepathic. This 56kg featherweight monster survived 100,000km of endurance hell, with forged camshafts, alloy crankcase, and a slick vertically-stacked 6-speed gearbox built to laugh at abuse.
CHASSIS, HANDLING & BRAKING
Chrome molybdenum steel trellis frame uses the engine as a stressed member: light, compact, and rigid where it counts.
Aluminium double swingarm boosts lateral rigidity for precise cornering – on bitumen or gravel
KYB suspension front and rear, fully adjustable:
48mm USD forks with 230mm travel (190mm on 1000MT-X LS)
Rear shock with remote preload adjuster for quick load changes
Steering damper (20-level adjustable) aids composure at speed or on steep descents
Brembo braking system delivers powerful, linear stopping performance; cornering ABS (rear switchable) supports off-road riding
COMFORT, TOURING & RANGE
Long range touring capability from a 22.5L tank system; targeted 500km+ between refills (riding style & conditions dependent)
Cruise control, wind protection, and easy reach to controls reduce fatigue
Ergonomics designed for transitions – sit to stand moves feel natural on trails and corrugations
Standard expedition protection (skid plate, handguards, chain guide) means ready to ride from delivery
ELECTRONICS & RIDER AIDS
Bosch 6-axis IMU powering cornering ABS and stability logic
Ride by wire, Bosch MSE 9.0 EFI, and professional calibration for precise, lag-free response
Bi-directional quickshifter and slipper clutch for smooth up/down shifts and added stability
Five ride modes: Standard, Off Road, Rain, All Terrain, Master
Dynamic traction control (3-stage adjustable)
Wheelie control system
8” vertical full colour touchscreen TFT with intuitive layout
Heated grips & heated seat, TPMS, and USB A/C 18 W charging
