In off-road riding as well as city traffic, less weight and manageable power output are often advantageous. This is precisely the niche the CFMoto 250 Dual targets — a compact enduro from the Chinese manufacturer CFMoto. The model is marketed under the CFLite brand name, a sub-brand focused on affordable entry-level motorcycles. Within the A2 license class, which permits up to 48 hp, the 250 Dual stays well below that threshold at around 25 hp, making it one of the most manageable newcomers among the 2026 motorcycle releases.

How Much Does the CFMoto 250 Dual Cost?
The CFMoto 250 Dual is currently priced at 2,990 euros (approximately 3,470 US dollars) in Italy and 2,995 euros (approximately 3,475 US dollars) in Spain. This puts the enduro well below the 3,000-euro mark, making it one of the more affordable offerings in the A2 class. The model is already available in several European countries. When the affordable and lightweight enduro will arrive in Germany remains unknown.
What Engine Powers the CFMoto 250 Dual?
The CFMoto 250 Dual is powered by a water-cooled single-cylinder engine with 249 cc, producing 24.5 hp (18 kW) at 8,000 rpm. Notable for this price bracket is that it is not an older, air-cooled engine but rather a more modern design featuring water cooling, an overhead camshaft, and four valves. The manufacturer states maximum torque at 22.5 Nm (16.6 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, with a compression ratio of 11.3:1. Power is transmitted through a 6-speed gearbox, resulting in a top speed of 120 km/h. Fuel consumption is rated at approximately 3 liters per 100 kilometers.

How Is the CFMoto 250 Dual’s Chassis Designed?
The CFMoto 250 Dual’s chassis is built in a classic, off-road-capable configuration with a steel tube frame, a rear swingarm, and wire-spoke wheels. The front features an upside-down telescopic fork with 160 millimeters of travel, while the rear uses a central shock absorber. Braking is handled by a single disc brake on each wheel — a 265-millimeter disc with a dual-piston floating caliper at the front, and a 220-millimeter disc with a single-piston caliper at the rear. The tires measure 80/100-21 at the front and 120/80-18 at the rear, with an aggressive tread pattern that matches the enduro character. The steering head angle is 26 degrees, and ground clearance measures 245 millimeters.
How Heavy Is the CFMoto 250 Dual and What Is Its Range?
The CFMoto 250 Dual has a curb weight of 154 kilograms (340 pounds) and can cover over 400 kilometers on a single tank. This range results from the generous 13-liter tank volume combined with the low fuel consumption. The manufacturer states a seat height of 840 millimeters. The comparatively low weight is a practical advantage both off-road and in city traffic, as a lighter motorcycle is easier to maneuver and control.

Equipment and Onboard Electronics
Standard equipment on the CFMoto 250 Dual includes LED lighting all around, a digital LCD display, and a USB port in the cockpit. The luggage rack with grab rails at the rear is practical for everyday use and travel. In the European version, ABS is also included as standard. According to the manufacturer, the model is available in three color variants: Tundra Grey, Polar White, and Lime Green.
How Do the Market Versions of the CFMoto 250 Dual Differ?
The CFMoto 250 Dual is offered in different versions depending on the market, primarily differing in fuel delivery, emission standards, and weight. For the European market, CFMoto uses a variant with electronic fuel injection that complies with the Euro-5+ emission standard and comes with ABS as standard. This version has a curb weight of 154 kilograms. In other markets, particularly parts of Asia, a carburetor version is also available that does not need to meet the stricter European emission requirements and weighs slightly less at 150 kilograms (331 pounds). Anyone comparing technical data from different sources should therefore pay attention to which market version the specifications refer to.

When Will the CFMoto 250 Dual Arrive in Germany?
A specific market launch date for the CFMoto 250 Dual in Germany is not yet known. The model is already being sold in several European countries, including Italy and Spain. Whether and when the enduro will also be offered in Germany, and at what price, has not been communicated by the manufacturer. Among the 2026 motorcycle releases, the 250 Dual joins a growing number of affordable A2-compliant models with which primarily Chinese manufacturers are addressing the European entry-level market.
