CFMOTO 1000MT-X First Ride – Did They Just Disrupt the Adventure Class Again?

The all-new CFMOTO 1000MT-X is here — and I flew out to China to be the first one test ride it only three months after its global reveal. With the massive success of the 450MT and the already impressive 800MT-X, CFMOTO is clearly aiming big in the adventure segment. But the real question is — does the 1000MT-X truly raise the bar, or is it just a bigger number on paper? In this first ride review, I break down everything you need to know: 00:00 Went To China 01:27 Build quality and finish 02:24 Tech package and rider aids 03:32 Suspension, brakes and tyres 05:22 Engine feel and throttle response 06:33 Weight and handling impressions 09:37 Pricing and market positioning Powered by a 946cc parallel twin making around 111hp and 105Nm of torque, loaded with an 8-inch vertical TFT touchscreen, Bosch IMU, cruise control, quickshifter, heated grips and seat — this bike is clearly targeting serious competition like the Yamaha Ténéré 700 and KTM 890 Adventure. Is this the next value king in the middleweight adventure class? Or is there a catch? Watch till the end for my honest verdict and expected Australian pricing.
