800NK SPORT 2023

The CFMOTO 800NK SPORT will leave the city behind and devour open roads as the company’s largest and clearest expression of naked bike fun. Blending the agility and functionality of its smaller brothers, the 800NK also brings considerably more power to the asphalt and special handling character thanks to the 799cc twin cylinder motor that oozes torque and performance and sets the bar for power-to-weight in the midweight segment of the market. The light steel frame, KYB suspension and J.Juan brakes focus the rider at the heart of everything that is raw and unfiltered about the 800NK SPORT.

DESIGN
The naked bike theme of minimalism but instantly identifiable style runs through the CFMOTO NK range and the 800NK SPORT sits at the top of the pile with the aggressive plastics, angles, livery, ‘stubby’ exhaust silencer, compact rear end and comprehensive LEDs for the headlight, indicators and rear section. The modern profile sits acutely in place with the ergonomics. The 800NK SPORT can be whipped into corners, blasted along country lanes with stability and panache but also turn heads while parked outside the café.

ERGONOMICS
See everything and be the master of machine and the road with the 800NK SPORT chassis, motor and ergonomic combination. The rider’s position is high but centralized and focused for front-end feel and comfort. The ergonomics derive from a steel frame that has been developed with the purpose of stiffness and durability. It has been designed by industry specialists to achieve the perfect balance of rigidity and flex, suiting everyday rideability with a generous but also sporty geometry. Comfort comes from the roomy seat, one-piece aluminum handlebar and stance that provides contact with the motorcycle when most needed but space to maneuver freely without affecting the central handling.

HANDLING
The essence of a strong naked bike means it can feel like a safe and capable city roadster but instantly turn into a machine to attack any open road. The 186kg (dry weight) 800NK SPORT harnesses much of this spirit through the power-to-weight and focus on the core traits of a gutsy and exciting motorcycle. Stability and confidence filter through the KYB suspension; the 800NK SPORT comes with hardware from the renowned company and with adjustable damping on the front fork and shock with 130mm of travel.

ENGINE
Tuned for torque. The 800NK SPORT is nothing less than a memorable power experience. The bike is equipped with a sturdy and lively DOHC liquid-cooled 799cc twin-cylinder engine with a maximum of 95hp/70kW @9250rpm output with 79Nm of torque at 8000rpm. The quiet motor boasts high-efficiency intake and exhaust systems, lightweight forged pistons and friction reduction technology for optimum performance and durability. The CF-SC slipper clutch helps enlarge the power buffering and enhances the smoothness of shifting, thereby reducing the engine braking impact during downshifts, improving safety and riding comfort.

BRAKES
Go the full distance with a generous 15-liter fuel capacity and with the principal tank shape at the that place the rider at the ergonomic center of the 800NK SPORT experience. When it eventually comes to the moment to stop then the potent J.Juan brakes (320mm dual disc and radial caliper system on the front wheel and 260mm single disc on the rear) provide more than enough performance and reassurance, particularly with BOSCH ABS system administering the right amount of stopping power. The 800NK SPORT will stick to any variation of road tarmac or conditions with the precision and reliability of the R17 MAXXIS tires.

TFT DISPLAY
The 800NK SPORT thrives on a modern but simplistic and fulfilling riding sensation but that’s not to say the bike is far from well-equipped for the 2020s user. The wide 5” TFT is bright and responsive (backlit and ambient light sensitive) and resistant to the conditions while providing an outlet for key information on the bike at a moment’s glance.
