THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF ADVENTURE, NOW WITH A LOWER SEAT

Introducing the CFMOTO 1000MT‑X LS – the same flagship adventure machine as the 1000MT‑X, now with a lower 830mm seat height (down from 870 mm) for improved confidence and control.

Designed for riders who prefer a more accessible stance without sacrificing performance, the 1000MT‑X LS delivers the same powerful engine, premium componentry, and advanced technology as the standard model.

With its 22.5L twin‑tank system and rider‑focused ergonomics, it’s ready for everything from daily commutes to rugged outback routes. The 1000MT‑X LS combines flagship capability with a lower, more sure‑footed feel — perfect for riders who want top‑tier adventure performance in a better‑fitting package.

DIFFERENCES FROM STANDARD MODEL

While the core specifications and off-road performance of the 1000MT-X LS remain identical to the standard 1000MT-X, the LS model features a lower seat height to improve accessibility and confidence for a broader range of riders.

Here’s what sets the LS model apart:

Lowered Seat Height: Reduced from 870mm (standard) to 830mm for enhanced rider reach and stability when stopped or paddling through rough terrain.

Revised Suspension Setup: The suspension has been carefully tuned with a lower ride height (reduced travel from 230mm to 190mm) while maintaining balanced off-road capability and comfort.

Same Adventure-Ready Equipment: Despite the lower stance, the LS retains all premium components including fully adjustable suspension, J.Juan brakes, a steel trellis frame, aluminium subframe, off-road wheels, and the full suite of electronics.

ENGINEERED FOR AUSTRALIAN ADVENTURE INSANITY

The 1000MT-X LSis 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.

DESIGN AND ERGONOMICS

The CFMOTO 1000MT-X LS 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 positionadjustable 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.

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 190mm travel
- 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.
