CFMOTO Australia has confirmed the arrival of the MY26 450CL-C, bringing a series of detail updates aimed at improving comfort, usability and visual presence while retaining the cruiser’s accessible LAMS-friendly platform and competitive pricing.
The 450CL-C continues to be powered by CFMOTO’s 449cc parallel-twin engine with a 270-degree crankshaft, producing a claimed 30kW at 8000rpm and 42Nm at 6250rpm. Fuel injection is handled by Bosch EFI, with drive delivered through a six-speed transmission fitted with CFMOTO’s CF-SC slipper clutch.
Comfort and Ergonomic Updates
For 2026, the most noticeable update is a revised seat design. The new seat features a deeper cushion with 55mm thickness and an additional 20mm of width on each side, aimed at improving long-distance comfort, reducing fatigue and providing better rider support on extended rides.
A revised gear lever has also been introduced, now featuring a heel-toe shifter. CFMOTO says the slimmer profile improves comfort and usability, while the shoe-friendly design helps prevent snags and excessive wear.
Subtle Styling Revisions
Visually, the MY26 450CL-C gains widened rear fender side panels, extending 30mm to give the bike a broader, more planted stance. The change also improves splash protection and airflow around the rear wheel, while adding to the cruiser’s muscular appearance.
The updated model is available in two colour options: Nebula White and Galaxy Grey.
Chassis and Equipment
The 450CL-C continues with a low 705mm seat height, making it accessible to a wide range of riders. Suspension consists of a 37mm upside-down fork with 130mm of travel up front, matched to a centrally mounted rear shock offering 96mm of travel.
Braking is supplied by J.Juan, with a four-piston radial front caliper acting on a 320mm disc, backed by a single-piston rear caliper and 220mm disc. Dual-channel ABS is standard.
Sixteen-inch wheels front and rear are shod with CST cruiser-spec tyres, while fuel capacity is 12L and claimed curb weight is 181kg.
Pricing and Availability
The MY26 CFMOTO 450CL-C is available now in Australia, priced from $8990 ride away, including 12 months registration.
The bike is covered by CFMOTO’s three-year warranty program, comprising a standard two-year warranty with the option of a third year when serviced exclusively through authorised dealers.
