Malaysia’s quarter-litre motorcycle class sees the
introduction of the 2019 CFMoto 250 NK which comes in two versions – the
standard model at RM 12,800 and the 250 NK SE with is priced at RM 13,800 and
adds ABS and a TFT-LCD screen. All prices exclude road tax, registration and
insurance with styling for the 250 NK done by Kiska Design.
Powered by a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine
displacing 250 cc, the 250 NK puts out 22 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm and while
no power figures were provided, a figure of 20 hp would not be out of the
question. Fed by EFI, the 250 NK gets power to the ground via a six-speed
gearbox and chain final drive with electric starting.
A steel tube trellis frame ties everything together,
with non-adjustable upside-down forks in front and a pre-load adjustable
monoshock in the rear. Rolling on 17-inch wheels with 110/70 and 140/60 tyres
front and rear respectively, the 250 NK uses single brake discs on each wheel
for stopping, with a two-piston hydraulic calliper on the front and two-channel
ABS for the SE model.
Also differentiating the 250 NK SE is a colour
TFT-LCD screen inside the cockpit, switchable between two displays while the
base model gets a monochrome LCD screen. LED lighting is found throughout the
250 NK, along with LED daytime running lights.
Wheelbase is 1,360 mm between wheel hubs, making the
250 NK a fairly compact motorcycle and seat height is a rider friendly 795 mm.
Fuel carried in a 12.5-litre tank and the 250 NK weighs in at 151 kg. There are two colour options for
the 2019 CFMoto 250 NK – Electro Silver and Nebula Black and availability at
authorised CFMoto dealers is from January for the standard model, while the 250
NK SE ABS will be in dealer showrooms in February. Every 250 NK comes with a
two-year or 20,000 km manufacturing warranty while the engine is covered under
a two-year unlimited mileage warranty.
