CFM-029796 2024 CFMOTO 450SS: Lightweight Supersport Performance with Everyday Practicality The 2024 CFMOTO 450SS represents a new generation of lightweight sport motorcycles designed to deliver real supersport performance in an approachable package. Blending aggressive styling, modern technology, and a lively parallel-twin engine, the 450SS offers riders a machine that feels equally comfortable carving through twisty backroads or commuting through city traffic. With sharp aerodynamics inspired by larger race-bred sport bikes, the 450SS provides the visual excitement of a middleweight supersport while maintaining the agility and usability that make smaller displacement motorcycles so enjoyable. At the heart of the 450SS is a compact yet powerful 449cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine engineered for responsive acceleration and high-revving performance. The engine features dual overhead camshafts and fuel injection to deliver smooth power across the rev range while still producing the kind of top-end excitement riders expect from a sport bike. A 270-degree crankshaft design gives the engine a distinctive exhaust note and improved traction characteristics similar to a V-twin. CFMOTO paired this engine with a lightweight chassis that keeps the motorcycle nimble and confidence-inspiring. The steel trellis frame and aluminum swingarm combination provides rigidity for aggressive riding while maintaining predictable handling. Whether navigating tight corners or accelerating out of sweeping turns, the 450SS feels planted and responsive. Technology also plays a major role in the 450SS experience. A full-color TFT display presents essential information clearly while offering smartphone connectivity through CFMOTO’s RideSync system. Riders can monitor speed, RPM, gear position, fuel level, and trip data in a clean, modern interface. LED lighting throughout the bike enhances both visibility and style, contributing to the futuristic look of the machine. Safety and braking performance are addressed with premium components uncommon in this displacement category. A large front disc paired with a radial-mounted caliper provides strong stopping power, while Bosch dual-channel ABS helps maintain control during emergency braking situations. Suspension duties are handled by a fully adjustable front fork and rear monoshock designed to balance comfort with sport-focused handling. Despite its aggressive design and sporty performance, the 450SS remains comfortable and practical for everyday use. The riding position strikes a balance between a track-inspired posture and real-world comfort, making it suitable for longer rides while still allowing the rider to feel connected to the machine. The lightweight design also makes the bike approachable for newer riders who want supersport styling without the intimidation of a larger engine. With its blend of style, technology, and performance, the 2024 CFMOTO 450SS proves that a lightweight sport bike can deliver serious thrills while remaining accessible and affordable. It stands as a compelling option for riders seeking an entry into the supersport world or experienced riders who simply appreciate the precision and excitement that comes with a well-designed lightweight machine. 2024 CFMOTO 450SS Specifications Engine Engine Type: 449cc liquid-cooled DOHC parallel twinBore x Stroke: 72.0 mm x 55.2 mmCompression Ratio: 11.5:1Fuel System: Electronic fuel injectionMaximum Horsepower: Approximately 50 hpMaximum Torque: Approximately 28 lb-ftStarter: Electric Transmission Transmission: 6-speed manualFinal Drive: ChainSlipper Clutch: Yes Chassis Frame: Steel trellis frameFront Suspension: Inverted telescopic fork (adjustable)Rear Suspension: Monoshock (adjustable preload) Brakes Front Brake: Single 320 mm disc with radial-mounted caliperRear Brake: Single discABS: Bosch dual-channel ABS Dimensions Wheelbase: 53.9 inSeat Height: 31.5 inGround Clearance: 5.5 inFuel Capacity: 3.7 gallonsCurb Weight: Approximately 370 lbs Wheels and Tires Front Tire: 110/70-17Rear Tire: 150/60-17Wheel Type: Cast aluminum Electronics and Features Full-color TFT displayCFMOTO RideSync smartphone connectivityLED headlights, taillights, and turn signalsTraction-focused 270-degree crank engine designSport-inspired aerodynamic bodywork The 2024 CFMOTO 450SS delivers an impressive combination of lightweight agility, modern technology, and aggressive supersport styling.
