CFMOTO Showed Up Heavy for 2026 — Behind the Scenes in Portland
There are product launches… and then there are statements.
What CFMOTO brought to Portland, Oregon for their 2026 lineup was absolutely a statement.
I flew out to shoot with CFMOTO and Rally Studios, expecting to feature a couple bikes. Instead, I walked into a fully loaded rollout — an entire 2026 CFMOTO lineup stacked with models across street, naked, adventure, mini motos, ATVs, and side-by-sides. This wasn’t a preview; this was a brand stepping forward with confidence.
And it made for one of my favorite shoots yet.

H2: A Deep 2026 Lineup That Shows CFMOTO’s Momentum
CFMOTO didn’t hold back.
They brought more than two headline bikes — they brought a fleet.
2026 CFMOTO lineup included:
New street bikes
New naked bikes
Adventure platforms
Mini moto additions
Updated ATVs
Updated UTVs
And of course, the highly anticipated CFMOTO NK300 and CFMOTO NK450
Seeing 20+ machines lined up told me everything:
CFMOTO isn’t testing the waters for 2026 — they’re taking the industry seriously.

H2: NK300 & NK450 – The Two That Hooked Me
Even surrounded by a full roster, these two stood out immediately.
H3: CFMOTO NK300 Review – Light, Playful, Beginner-Friendly Power
The NK300 is the kind of bike that makes every rider smile. It’s light, responsive, and perfect for riders who want a clean introduction into the streetfighter world without giving up style or performance.
H3: CFMOTO NK450 Review – Rawer, Punchier, and Built for Fun
The NK450 was my troublemaker. More grunt, more confidence, more “watch this” energy. It has that sweet mid-size torque that makes you feel like the bike gets you — and wants to play.
I had way too much fun on these two during the shoot.
What was supposed to be clean takes turned into me asking for “one more run” just because the bikes were that enjoyable.

H2: Shooting in Portland With Rally Studios
Portland was the perfect playground for a motorcycle shoot.
The city is a blend of:
Industrial rawness
Clean architecture
Moody Pacific Northwest textures
Open pockets for carving and stopping power shots
Rally Studios was locked in from the start — professional, creative, and able to capture the soul of the bikes, not just the look. We filmed across industrial zones, under bridges, open stretches, and tucked-away spots that made every setup look cinematic.

H2: What the 2026 Launch Really Shows About CFMOTO
By the time we wrapped, it was obvious:
CFMOTO is evolving fast.
They’re not the “budget alternative” anymore.
Not even close.
They’re:
Refining design language
Improving ride quality
Expanding categories
Competing with established brands
Building real energy in the U.S. market
2026 is a turning point — and being inside that moment with Rally Studios made it even more clear.
