The CFlite 230 Dual comes ready for work from the get-go.
Already well known for its extensive range of quads and side-by-sides, CF Moto used National Fieldays to showcase another piece in the farm transport puzzle – a two-wheeler specifically tailored for agriculture.
Bound to find favour with dairy operations, particularly for herding duties, the CFlite 230 Dual comes ready for work from the get-go.
It has a single-cylinder, carburetted 230cc four-stroke, housed in a high-grade steel frame.
It makes power of 10.5kw and torque of 16.5Nm, mated to a 5-speed transmission that will offer a wide range of ratios for any jobs, while the 12-litre fuel tank should handle a good day’s work.
A wide, comfortable seat with an 840mm height will cater for all sizes of operator, while a 21-inch wheel up front and 18-inch wheel on the rear offer excellent ground clearance, enhanced by twin, telescopic hydraulic front struts and a single rear shock absorber. Stopping duties fall to single front and rear disc brakes.
It looks good in Tundra Grey, and the wide handlebars with rear-view mirrors offer easy and accurate direction changes, while incorporating a clear display for all key functions and LED lighting for the late shift or early mornings.
Standard equipment includes NZ-manufactured front and rear carriers, alongside handlebar and engine protectors, with the package protected with a 12-month warranty.
