CF Moto 450SR India Launch: Price, Mileage, First Look
I’ve been following the buzz around the CF Moto 450SR India Launch closely, and I want to share a clear, practical update you can use today. If you’re thinking about buying a mid‑capacity sports bike, you’ve probably seen conflicting posts about when the 450SR will arrive in India, what it will cost, and how it will perform. In this article I’ll walk you through the latest status as of December 4, 2025, estimated prices, likely mileage, key specs, and what to watch next.
Current launch status — what we know (and what we don’t)
First, let me be direct: CF Moto has not officially launched the 450SR in India. Multiple industry outlets list the 450SR among models expected during CFMoto’s planned re‑entry to India, but there’s no official press release with a confirmed India launch date or price. Some reports suggested a mid‑2025 arrival, while others pushed timelines into late 2026. That means all India launch dates you read today are estimates, not confirmations.
Why this matters: if you want to buy a 450SR in India, you should wait for the brand’s official statement. Dealers and portals may post speculative prices and delivery timelines that later change.
Estimated India price — wide ranges, treat as provisional
Multiple Indian websites have posted price guesses. Here’s the simple take:
- Some portals estimate a low‑to‑mid range of roughly ₹2.00–2.49 lakh (ex‑showroom).
- Other listings give higher figures — I’ve seen a trade listing near ₹4.30 lakh.
- Because figures diverge a lot, the safest assumption is: wait for official pricing.
To make this easier to read, I put the typical public estimates and technical guesses into the table below.
| Item | Typical Estimate / Spec | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| India launch status | Not officially launched (as of Dec 4, 2025) | Reports: re‑entry planned; no confirmed date |
| Price (ex‑showroom) | ₹2.00–2.49 lakh (many portals) / up to ₹4.30 lakh (trade listings) | Wide variance — unofficial estimates only |
| Estimated mileage | ~25 km/l (range 25–30 km/l often quoted) | Based on global specs; India testing needed |
| Engine | ~449 cc parallel‑twin, liquid‑cooled | Power commonly quoted ~47 PS (varies 46–52 PS) |
| Kerb weight / tank | ~179 kg / ~14 L | Global spec estimates |
Fuel economy and real‑world mileage expectations
I get asked about mileage a lot. Based on the international spec and similar bikes, Indian sources often estimate around 25 km/l. Some reports broaden that to a 25–30 km/l range. That estimate comes from the bike’s engine size, weight, and typical riding conditions for this class.
Examples from related bikes help: a 400–500 cc sport bike ridden in mixed city/highway conditions commonly returns 20–30 km/l depending on riding style. If you ride hard, you’ll see the lower end. If you ride steady on highways, you can approach the higher end. So, expect about 25 km/l on average unless CFMoto India publishes a tested figure.
Key specs and first‑look highlights (global model basis)
Let me summarize the most repeated global specs and first‑look points from previews and show coverage. These reflect the international 450SR or closely related models, not a confirmed India‑spec variant.
- Engine: ~449–449.5 cc parallel‑twin, liquid‑cooled. Power commonly quoted around 46–52 PS (many sources list ~47 PS).
- Torque: ~39–40 Nm.
- Weight and tank: kerb weight ~179 kg; fuel tank ~14 L.
- Features: sporty full fairing, slipper clutch, TFT instrument cluster with connectivity on related models, dual‑channel ABS, modern electronics.
- Performance: reported top speeds in the 170–190 km/h band depending on variant and tuning.
From a first‑look perspective, reviewers often praise the 450SR’s aggressive styling and the bang‑for‑buck electronics package. But remember: showroom spec and ride feel can differ between global and India versions, if CFMoto adapts the bike for our market.
Where the 450SR would fit in India and rivals to watch
If the 450SR lands at the lower estimated price (around ₹2–2.5 lakh), it could upset the mid‑capacity segment. It would compete with bikes like the Bajaj Dominar 400 and some KTM RC/DUKE models in the 250–400 cc range. Price will decide its appeal. At higher price points (₹3.5–4.5 lakh), it will sit closer to premium 400–500 cc offerings and must compete on build quality, dealer support, and warranties.
For example, if the 450SR comes in at ₹2.2 lakh ex‑showroom with a claimed 25 km/l, you’d be looking at a strong value play versus a Dominar 400 in similar trims. If the 450SR arrives nearer to ₹4 lakh, buyers may compare it with more established 450–500 cc rivals that already have dealer and service networks.
What to watch next and my recommendation
Here’s what I’m watching and what I recommend you do:
- Wait for an official CFMoto India press release announcing the launch date and ex‑showroom price. That will settle the major uncertainties.
- When official specs arrive, look for India‑specific kerb weight, ABS mapping, and declared mileage — these can differ from global numbers.
- If you’re in the market now, consider test rides of close rivals and compare features versus the published global 450SR spec. Don’t buy based on estimates alone.
If you want, I can monitor official announcements and notify you when CFMoto confirms the India launch and price. Or I can prepare a short comparison that shows how the 450SR’s global specs stack up against likely Indian rivals at different price points. Which would you prefer?
Final Thoughts
To sum up: the CF Moto 450SR India Launch is widely expected but not officially announced as of December 4, 2025. Public price estimates vary a lot — from roughly ₹2.00–2.49 lakh on the low side to listings near ₹4.30 lakh. Mileage is commonly estimated at about 25 km/l, and global specs show a ~449 cc parallel‑twin with modern features like a TFT cluster and dual‑channel ABS.
My clear advice: wait for CFMoto’s official India release before making any buying decision. If you want real‑time updates or a side‑by‑side comparison with likely rivals, tell me which option you prefer and I’ll get started.
