Days, weeks and months of competition and trials from one corner of the globe to the next has come down to four days in Melbourne, Australia: the inaugural CFMOTO MT Challenge final will bring teams from nearly twenty nations, with over seventy talented and fearless (amateur) motorcyclists, into a tussle against the clock and each other for the ultimate in adventure motorcycling bragging rights.
From Latin America, Europe, and Asia to Australia, the CFMOTO MT Challenge has brought together riders from close to twenty countries — including China and the Philippines from Asia, France from Europe, Mexico and Colombia from Latin America, the local Australian team, among others — to select the gnarliest riders (four per team) for the grand final and a unique team adventure experience.
Brought together by the MT spirit, they see what others overlook, explore the unknown, and embrace every challenge — and no matter how rough the road becomes, their courage never fades. 
Based on some of the amazing scenes witnessed so far, the competitors will be able to push the CFMOTO 800MT-X to the max through a ‘venue’ task as well as an ‘adventure’ encounter.
CFMOTO’s adventuring flagship motorcycle has been the basis of this initiative that has inspired the skills of participants as they take on mud riding, water obstacles, slalom, speed and control tests and even pick-up prowess! The CFMOTO 800MT-X features 95hp and 87Nm of torque, top touring specs like cornering ABS, adjustable traction control and unbeatable ergonomics for both long cruises and full feedback in more tricky terrain. The virtues of the bike permit a 360 appreciation for some of the more extreme conditions found in the wilderness; so why not turn the CFMOTO 800MT-X into a competition tool!
It's not called a ‘Challenge’ for nothing. The CFMOTO 800MT-X is the figurehead of CFMOTO’s motorcycling touring roster. The 450MT, 700MT and 800MT Explore models will also be on display in Melbourne, giving participants a chance to see the wider touring line-up. Melbourne will be a discovery and a delight for the participants that have taken their motorcycles this far. 
Aside from being a showcase for the CFMOTO 800MT-X, the CFMOTO MT Challenge final will also foster a camaraderie through the ‘team’ flavour of the competition. Winning is cool…but it’s not the full story. The Challenge draws bikers together for a truly international celebration of riding, fun and daring. In this journey, they go beyond riding limits and speak the same MT language. They help each other up after a fall, cheer together at the finish line, and stand side by side through both successes and setbacks.
