CFMoto 250 NK

The CF Moto 250 NK follows the latest tradition of styling even the smallest motorcycles with sharpness. The sharp styling of the 250 NK makes it look quite big for a bike of its class, with the motorcycle packing in modern features.

The most striking element of the CF Moto 250 NK’s design has to be the unique looking LED headlamp. The full LED headlight with daytime running LED gives the CF Moto 250 NK a very striking and futuristic looking face. The long full LED turn indicators are mounted at the top of the headlamp’s corners, along with a very small tinted visor.

The symphony of the headlamp, as well as the long and edgy looking fuel tank, looks very much similar to that of the KTM Duke 390. However, the fuel tank on the 250 NK has its own set of contours to make it look different from the former. The side cowls stacked below the fuel tank along with the exposed frame makes the side profile of the bike look beefy. The alloy wheels do look distinctive with their star-like pattern.

The tail piece of the CF Moto 250 NK is lifted upwards with split seat design, which goes well with the sporty theme of the motorcycle. The LED tail lamp as well as turn indicators end up tail piece. The 250 NK misses out on the conventional tail piece mounted rear fender, and instead one does get the number plate mounted on the rear tyre hugger.

Another interesting and eye catching thing which needs a special mention is the full TFT rectangular instrument console, which is the first in the quarter litre segment. Packed with all the necessary information like that of speedometer, odometer, trip meters, tachometer, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, clock, gear indicator and more, and packs in two display layout modes – Rain and Sport. This console, along with edgy looking rear view mirrors and single piece handlebar with backlit switchgear, complete the rider’s field of view.

The CF Moto is fitted with retractable type upside down hydraulic telescopic forks at the front and cantilever type with monoshock at the rear. With a kerb weight of 150kg, the CF Moto 250 NK is decently weighted with a good power to weight ratio, which makes the overall performance quite sprightly in nature. The ride quality is on a stiffer side, which does make longer trips a bit uncomfortable.

The CF Moto 250 NK has been equipped with a four-stroke, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, 249.2cc in house developed motor, which is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox. This engine rides on a high compression ratio, and develops a maximum power output of 26.2 PS, while the peak torque output is rated at 22 Nm.

The engine of the CF Moto 250 NK feels tractable, with a good amount of power available in the mid-range. This makes it a very good motorcycle for both urban commutes as well as highway touring. 

The CF Moto 250 NK is not so rich when it comes to safety features, with the motorcycle being positioned in the entry-level segment catering to a budget-oriented buyer category. However, the disc brakes on both the ends as well as ABS make the 250 NK a decent motorcycle in terms of safety.

With the CF Moto 250 NK, one does get a sharp-looking motorcycle that is feature-rich and looks quite big for its segment. This makes it a viable option for those who want the visual appeal of a big bike, with the performance and handling being more than adequate for its segment.
