THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF ADVENTURE, NOW WITH A LOWER SEAT
Introducing the CFMOTO 1000MT‑X LS – the same flagship adventure machine as the 1000MT‑X, now with a lower 830mm seat height (down from 870 mm) for improved confidence and control.
Designed for riders who prefer a more accessible stance without sacrificing performance, the 1000MT‑X LS delivers the same powerful engine, premium componentry, and advanced technology as the standard model.
With its 22.5L twin‑tank system and rider‑focused ergonomics, it’s ready for everything from daily commutes to rugged outback routes. The 1000MT‑X LS combines flagship capability with a lower, more sure‑footed feel — perfect for riders who want top‑tier adventure performance in a better‑fitting package.

WHAT SETS THE LS APART FROM THE STANDARD MODEL?
Lowered Seat Height: Reduced from 870mm (standard) to 830mm for enhanced rider reach and stability when stopped or paddling through rough terrain.
Revised Suspension Setup: The suspension has been carefully tuned with a lower ride height (reduced travel from 230mm to 190mm) while maintaining balanced off-road capability and comfort.
Same Adventure-Ready Equipment: Despite the lower stance, the LS retains all premium components including fully adjustable KYB suspension, Brembo brakes, a steel trellis frame, aluminium subframe, off-road wheels, and the full suite of electronics.
ENGINEERED FOR NEW ZEALAND ADVENTURE INSANITY
The 1000MT-X LS 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.
