Meet the 2026 CFMOTO 450SS in —a sharp-looking sport machine with everyday manners and just enough attitude to make the long way home feel mandatory. Its compact proportions and low height give it an easy, confidence-building presence at a stop, while the purposeful stance hints that it’s happiest when the road starts to bend.
Twist the throttle and the liquid-cooled 449cc parallel-twin comes alive with a smooth, eager pull. With 51 bhp at 9,500 rpm and 29.5 ft-lb of torque at 7,750 rpm, it’s tuned to feel energetic without being intimidating—perfect for riders who want real performance they can actually use. Bosch fuel injection keeps response crisp, and the 6-speed manual makes it easy to stay in the sweet spot whether you’re carving through traffic or chasing open pavement. It runs on regular gas, so fun doesn’t come with a premium-only habit.
Handling is where the 450SS really starts to grin back. The inverted fork up front and twin sided swing arm with adjustable rear spring pre-load help it stay composed when the pace picks up, while the aluminum wheels and tubeless setup keep things modern and practical. The 110/70 R17 front and 150/60 R17 rear tires give it a planted feel, and with a 53.8-inch wheelbase and 24.5° rake, it’s built to turn in willingly and hold a line with confidence.
When it’s time to rein things in, Brembo® braking delivers—up front, a 320 mm hydraulic disc with a 4-piston caliper, backed by a 220 mm rear disc. Add bright LED lighting for visibility and a two-up friendly two-piece vinyl seat, and you’ve got a bike that’s ready for weekday commutes, weekend sprints, and the occasional passenger cameo.
And because modern rides should feel connected, it brings Bluetooth® audio plus mobile app instrumentation, all controlled right from the handlebar. The result: a 450SS that looks fast standing still—and feels even better once it’s rolling.
