I bought a CFMOTO IBEX 450MT without even riding one as my long term bike. How is it on road and off it? How is the build quality? Will it hold up?

Hi everyone, yes I have the latest software update. I'll see if I can fix the throttle problems down the track. Thanks for watching and make sure to sub 👊

Love the commentary while riding it offroad... makes the viewers more immersed and feel what you are doing while riding it. Great review, great video!

Crazy man Curtis rides the little beast!
Worthy of glory

For a stock bike, it's bloody fantasic, and she can be adjusted everywhere and heaps accessories, for the price, I'm getting one Hell Yeah 💯👍🇦🇺

Love that you're straight into the deep end with it Curtis. Stock tyres and all. Getting fancy with the drone follow shots as well I see

Hearing everyone talk about how this is a 70/30 road bike and then watching you ride makes me question everyone. I guess it goes to show that skill can overcome a bike’s “capabilities”. I think you’re pushing it beyond what it’s intended for a bit, but it’s nice to see that if you come across unforeseen rough terrain that you can get through it on this bike

Thanks mate, no bike is perfect stock…looking forward to seeing you mod it out & get it to your liking, that’s the content I am looking forward to. Thanks again

Reading comments shows me we have ALL been hungry for this bike and it’s content

I appreciated the fact that you started the review at just 5 km on the odometer without changing anything, I have never seen that done before, and I think it landed a bit more credibility to your first impressions of the bike. Sure seems like the Chinese are learning to fix a lot the nagging issues the Europeans manufacturers never address. Glad to see you enjoyed the bike. Ciao, Marco.

This has to be one of the best reviews of the bike hands down.

@adventurebikesaustralia7627 1 year ago

I’ve been looking forward to this one!

Glad I bumped into you. Great, independent, non-biased review, with insights we riders actually want to hear and see. I've been waiting for these to be in stock here in Spain. Can't wait to get mine.

What an incredible high quality review. Thank you very much!

Here in Europe a dealer updated the mapping of it and the throttle is much better now

@AndyPat239 1 year ago

definitely broken in 😊

Great riding and footage mate! You are really testing out the bikes well!

@billcotton1551 1 year ago

Excellent test video Curtis! Looking forward to see what you do with it ,long term.

@jchristi99 1 year ago

Nice one Curtis. You sounded like you were having a good time on it to me. I'm still riding street bikes, but saving for my first ADV, and this is my #1 at the moment. Super wrapped to see what you do with it. I'm hoping you do an internal suspension upgrade and are able to utilise the clickers that are already there. I haven't seen anybody do this yet. Can't wait for the next vid.
