Irrespective of the variant (alloy wheel or wire-spoke wheel), the new CFMoto 800MT will use a 19-inch front wheel with 110/80 R19 tyre and a 17-inch rear wheel with 150/70 R17 tyre. The kerb weight of both the variants remains the same at 231 kg for the base model and 248 kg for the loaded version fitted with panniers and top box.
