THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF ADVENTURE
The flagship adventure model in the MT series, the 1000MT-X, takes capability to the next level. It’s been developed to deliver outstanding off-road performance while preserving the long-distance touring comfort and confidence the MT range is known for.
Positioned above the proven 800MT-X, the 1000MT-X targets riders who want maximum capability, pedigree componentry, and modern tech in a package that remains confidence-inspiring and manageable on Kiwi terrain. With an excellent range from its 22.5 L twin-tank system and rider-first ergonomics, the 1000MT-X is engineered for everything from weekday commuting to remote outback routes and multi-day expeditions.
Positioned for riders who demand premium componentry, advanced technology, and exceptional versatility, the 1000MT-X offers a refined balance of power, control, and endurance for New Zealand's toughest terrain.
POWER TO CONQUER EVERY UNCHARTED PATH
Built around a 946.2 cc LC8c-based parallel twin and equipped with premium KYB suspension, Brembo brakes, Bosch 6-axis IMU, and 21”/18” wheels, the 1000MT-X elevates the MT platform into true litre class territory. It blends rugged off-road capability, long-distance comfort, and advanced electronics – delivering flagship performance and features without the flagship price.
KEY SPECS:
• 946.2 cc parallel-twin
• 83 kW (111 hp) @ 8,500 rpm
• 105 Nm @ 6,250 rpm
• 13.5:1 compression ratio
ENGINEERED FOR NEW ZEALAND ADVENTURE INSANITY
The 1000MT-X is a beast forged for real Kiwi adventure, capable, unbreakable, and primed to devour anything from brutal corrugations to endless sand rivers.
Built on KTM’s legendary LC8c DNA (Duke 990 R, 990 RC R), CFMOTO’s 946.2cc parallel-twin delivers world-shattering torque—over 90% from 5,500–8,000 rpm—with Bosch MSE 9.0 EFI throttle response so razor-sharp it feels telepathic. This 56kg featherweight monster survived 100,000km of endurance hell, with forged camshafts, alloy crankcase, and a slick vertically-stacked 6-speed gearbox built to laugh at abuse.
