CFMoto 250NK Spied In India

  • The CFMoto 250 NK gets features like a TFT screen, hydraulic clutch, two riding modes and dual-channel ABS. 
  • It is powered by a 249.2cc single-cylinder engine.
  • If it comes to India, it will be brought in via the CKD route.

Quarter-litre motorcycles seem to be all the rage these days, with Austrian, Japanese, Koreans as well as Italian manufacturers vying for your attention. Although the KTM 250 Duke rules the roost, there are plenty of other options, including the Yamaha Fazer 25 and FZ25, the ageing Honda CB250R, the Hyosung GT250R as well the recently-launched FB Mondial Hipster. Now, it seems like there’ll be a new contender soon in the form of the 250NK from CFMoto. If you haven’t heard of CFMoto yet, head here for a brief history lesson. The 250NK has been spotted testing in the country and it seems like the Chinese manufacturer is now gearing up to launch the naked street bike here soon. So, let’s take a closer look at it, shall we?

The 250NK seems a lot like the 250 Duke, doesn’t it? Well, you’ll be surprised to know that the Chinese motorcycle has been designed by Kiska, the same firm that’s responsible for the Duke’s aggressive lines. The 250NK is powered by a 249.2cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine that churns out 26.5PS of power at 9000rpm and 22Nm of torque at 7500rpm. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox and CFMoto claims that the 250NK has a claimed top speed of 128kmph. The 250 Duke, its chief rival, produces a tad more power and torque (the numbers stand at 30PS and 24Nm).

The Chinese naked bike features USD forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear. Braking hardware consists of disc brakes at both ends. The CFMoto 250NK tips the scale at 150kg, which is 3kg less than the 250 Duke. The 250cc motorcycle is equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels shod with 110/70 and 140/60-section front and rear tyres, respectively.

In terms of features, it gets a hydraulic clutch, a TFT display, two riding modes (Rain and Sport), dual-channel ABS and LED DRLs. Currently, the CFMoto 250NK gets an introductory price of AUD $ $3,990 (around Rs 2.02 lakh) in Australia. If it comes to India, it will be brought in via the CKD route to keep costs in check.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

  It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

Royal Enfield Classic 350 ABS Launched At Rs 161 lakh

Rumours of an ABS-equipped Royal Enfield have been doing rounds for quite some time with many stating that the entire range would get only single-channel ABS, barring the Royal Enfield Himalayan, the upcoming Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 . However, all those rumours have been slammed by the heritage classic bike manufacturer. As exclusively reported by us earlier , Royal Enfield has launched its highest selling model, the Classic 350 , with dual-channel ABS in India today at Rs 1.61 lakh (ex-showroom Pune). The new variant is called the Classic Signals 350 and is inspired by the Indian Army Corps of Signals, which is a division that oversees military communications. Apart from the safety net and the 240mm rear disc, the company is also offering this variant in two new colour schemes - Airborne Blue and Stormrider Sand. The instrument cluster now features a low fuel light and an ABS light instead of the ammeter that's offered on the standard Classic 350. The serial...

Honda HNess CB350 Same Price Other Options

  Watch Video Review     Honda has finally entered the retro segment dominated by Royal Enfield with its very own offering, the H’Ness CB350 . Expected to be priced at approximately Rs 1.90 lakh, the roadster has a lot going for it and is already creating waves in the two-wheeler industry. But if you still feel the CB350 isn’t the bike for you, you could have a look at the following options around the same price bracket.    Royal Enfield Classic 350 Stealth Black: Rs 1,86,319 Royal Enfield enthusiasts could stick to the bike that has pretty much been the backbone for the brand. Sure, the Classic 350 isn’t as powerful as the CB350, or as feature-rich, or as err… reliable, but it still has the thump -- if that’s what you’re looking for. Also, without all the fancy gizmos it’s as pure as pure can get -- a classic retro motorcycle!    Husqvarna Svartpilen, Vitpilen 250: Rs 1,84,768 The Swedes, on the other hand, have a different take on “neo-...
