Keep in mind when we caught wind that CFMoto was engaged on a three-cylinder engine again in March?
If CFMoto succeeds at chucking this 675cc coronary heart into that incubating 675SR Phil West talked about (through MCN), we’ll be working with the lightest three-cylinder engine obtainable in its class – and in a supersport just like the 675SR, the bundle may render an addicting combo.
For the reason that engine just isn’t but out in our market, right here’s what we all know concerning the factor (and what to anticipate as CFMoto strikes nearer to the debut date).
- CFMoto made this engine themselves; it’s NOT a KTM engine that’s been used with permissions, as some circulating rumors have been led to imagine (through Youtube).
- Weight is rated at a scant 50kg (~121lbs); that’s 10% lighter than the closest competitors, with intelligent componentry like 8% stiffer cast aluminum pistons and a full-aluminum cylinder block to save lots of poundage.
- Building design makes use of stretch-bolt connecting rods and a low-inertia crankshaft, with additional (+15%) sturdiness marked due to the usage of cobalt alloy valves.
- Bore X Stroke just isn’t but confirmed.
- Specs embody a peak energy of ‘over 100bhp’ @ 12,300rpm and 50ft.lb of torque @ 8250rpm.
- Acceleration is a purported 0-60mph in “simply 3 seconds.”
- Based mostly on the multi-use of the model’s 799cc, 450cc, and 299cc platforms, we’re anticipating a couple of motorbike from this platform.
Are you excited to see CFMoto’s 675SR?
