2025 CFMOTO 675SS – First Look
450SS and 300SS receive updates for 2025
CFMOTO announced updates to its sportbike lineup, including a new line-topping model powered by a liquid-cooled Inline-Three. Priced at $7,999, the new 675SS joins the 450SS and 300SS, which are both returning for 2025 with updates.
Naturally, you can’t introduce a 675cc three-cylinder sportbike without drawing immediate comparisons to the Triumph Daytona 675 or the MV Agusta F3 675. The CFMOTO’s engine is new, with a 72 mm bore and 55.2 mm stroke, for a 674.2 cc displacement. The engine actually has more in common with the 450SS, with the same bore and stroke, just with an extra cylinder. CFMOTO claims a peak output of 95 hp at 11,000 rpm and 51.6 lb-ft. at 8,250 rpm.
The engine is matched with a six-speed transmission and a wet multi-plate slipper clutch. The 675SS comes with a quickshifter, but only for upshifts; you’ll still need to downshift the old-fashioned way. The transmission comes standard ready to be converted for reverse race-style shifting.
The electronics package is pretty straight forward, at this price point, with an adjustable traction control system and dual-channel ABS as standard. No fancy ride modes here, but you do get a 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity.
CFMOTO designed a Chromoly steel frame with tubular main spars and cast rear sections, claiming a balance of strength and flexibility. The swingarm is a one-piece cast aluminum high-arch design compared to the straight swingarms on CFMOTO’s smaller models. CFMOTO claims the swingarm is robust yet lightweight, and the boomerang shape does help open up more space for the belly-mounted exhaust.
KYB supplies the fully adjustable inverted fork and a preload and rebound adjustable multi-link rear suspension. The dual compound tires are from CST, with a 120/70 R17 for the front wheel, and a 180/55 R17 for the rear
The brakes are from J.Juan, with dual radial-mount four-piston calipers and 300mm discs up front, and a single-piston caliper and 240mm disc at the rear. That was a curious choice, considering the 450SS uses a Brembo M40 caliper (albeit just a single one with a 320mm rotor) for the front wheel. J.Juan is on the more budget end of the Brembo family, so the price point may have been a factor here, but you also get front brake air ducts to keep the calipers cooler under hard braking.
Speaking of airflow, the CFMOTO 675SS has an aerodynamic fairing with a layered winglet design. Combined with more wings on the tail, CFMOTO claims the aerodynamics improve high speed stability and cornering capability.
Other highlights include full-LED lighting, a 31.9-inch seat height, and a claimed curb weight of 408 pounds.
Moving down CFMOTO’s sportbike lineup, the 450SS and 300SS both receive some notable updates for 2025. The CFMOTO 450SS receives Bosch’s 10th generation ABS and traction control, plus a sharper throttle response, a retuned exhaust note, and a revised high-beam. Pricing remains at $5,699.
The 300SS receives an updated engine with a longer stroke, pushing its Single to 298cc from the previous 292 cc. CFMOTO claims pushing its output to a claimed 29.5 hp at 9,500 rpm and 19.9 lb-ft. at 6,500 rpm, compared to the 2024 model’s claimed 27 hp at 9,500 rpm and 18.4 lb-ft. at 7,000 rpm. The 300SS also gets a larger master cylinder reservoir. Pricing sees a modest $100 price increase, bringing it to $4,599.

I was really hoping the 450 would get the single sided swing arm from overseas. 😕Oh well, looking forward to the review of the 675. Glad it has a 4 gallon tank at least
Hard pass on Chinese junk. If you do some research on owner reviews you will quickly find out that CFMoto bikes have a littany of quality issues once you start riding them. These bikes may look pretty, and even have some nice thing on them, but no lunch is free. Cuts were made you just dont see them until you own the bike and start riding it.
