It does not appear to matter what badge your bike wears or what area of interest it is in, CFMoto is coming for it. This time, the 2026 CFMoto 800MT ES is coming for each upper-middleweight journey touring bike on the market. We already know the outgoing 800MT can dangle with one of the best fashions on this class, however now, CFMoto is including one thing to the combination that only a few bikes on this area of interest have—electronically adjustable suspension.
There’s already an 800MT Touring mannequin, which is equally specked out to the ES, however as a substitute of the common USD KYB entrance forks, the ES comes with semi-active forks, developed in partnership with KYB. Identical to on the Touring variant, the entrance suspension gives 160mm of journey, whereas the rear monoshock is sweet for 150mm. Not like the Touring model, the ES mannequin adapts to the street irregularities, load, and using model in actual time.
The concept is that, when the street forward permits for it, and you’re feeling like twisting the wrist a bit extra, the suspension will agency up and supply a sportier trip. However, must you come throughout some poorly maintained sections of street unexpectedly, the suspension shall be extra forgiving and supply a smoother trip—just like the system on the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS.
The 800MT ES additionally comes with 4 using modes, Bosch stability management, and a six-axis IMU. Like the remainder of the 800MT variants, the ES is powered by a 799cc liquid-cooled twin, producing 89.9 HP at 9,250rpm together with 49.4 lb-ft of torque at 8,000rpm. The braking system stays the identical and makes use of dual 320mm discs which might be gripped by J.Juan radial-mounted four-piston calipers, and a Bosch cornering ABS steps in for assist when wanted.
There is no worth on the time of using for the 800MT ES, however the query I put to you is, if this mannequin is priced like the remainder of CFMoto’s vary—savagely undercutting the competitors—wouldn’t it make it on to your imaginative and prescient board for 2026?
