WIND IN THE P48 CFMOTO Delivers 675SS, 675NK For 2026 C FMOTO will debut the 675SS sportbike and 675NK na- ked bike for $7999 and $7499, respectively, for 2026. At both bikes' core is a new liquid-cooled, three-cylinder DOHC engine that produces 95 horsepower at 11,000 rpm and 51 lb-ft of torque at 8250 rpm, with claimed curb weight coming in at 417 pounds for the 675NK and 429 pounds for the 675SS. The aluminum twin-spar chas - sis on both includes a fully ad- justable KYB fork up front, with a preload- and rebound-adjustable KYB shock at the rear. Braking is handled by J.Juan 300mm front discs and radially mounted four-piston calipers, while a slipper clutch and up- only quickshifter complement the six-speed gearbox. CFMOTO has laden both the SS and NK with some decent tech for the price. You get a five-inch color TFT dash with Bluetooth and CFMOTO's RideSync connectiv - ity, full LED lighting, dual-channel ABS, multi-level traction control, a USB-C port, and tire-pressure monitoring, although no Inertial Measurement Unit, which helps keep costs down. Both bikes, especially the SS, come at an interesting time in the sportbike market, given the supersport category has long moved on from the 675cc engine format for bikes like the Triumph Daytona and Street Triple and the MV Agusta F3 range. The CFMOTO will thus go up against the new crop of twin- cylinder machines such as the Suzuki GSX-8R, Yamaha YZF-R7 and Aprilia RS660. As for the CFMOTO 675NK naked-bike version, it will see competition against machines like the Suzuki GSX-8S, Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory, Yamaha MT- 07 and Honda CB750. CN In 675NK naked-bike guise, specs are almost identical to the SS. The 657SS is here for 2025 and will go head-to- head with the current crop of twin-cylinder machines, even though it's a triple.
