New small capacity CFMOTO LAMS cruiser breaks cover

2025 CFMOTO 250CL-C LAMS Cruiser

CFMOTO Australia have just unveiled the new 250CL-C, a small capacity lightweight cruiser designed to offer an accessible riding experience to the next generation of motorcyclists and following on from the success of the larger 450CL-C.

The 250CL-C aims to blend old-school cruiser styling with modern details and convenience, including a water-drop style fuel tank with dual gloss clear coat, classic round LED headlight, integrated LED tail/brake lights, a machined polished fuel cap, and three-inch round instrument cluster combining analogue and LCD displays.

Powered by an upgraded 249 cc single-cylinder engine, liquid-cooled and running DOHC, the 250CL-C produces 18.5 kW and 20.5 Nm — with easy-to-manage torque suited to urban streets or relaxed weekend cruises.

A CF-SC slipper clutch comes standard, reducing clutch lever effort by 30 percent and offering smoother downshifts, for a more enjoyable ride for those on their first motorcycle.

The 250CL-C also tips the scales at just 165 kg wet and offers a low 690 mm seat height with relaxed riding triangle, ensuring almost anyone should be able to easily get two feet down, as well as a comfortable riding position.

Telescopic front forks are joined by twin rear shocks and wide 16-inch cruiser tyres, and CFMOTO promise a plush, stable ride across a variety of surfaces.

The addition of a Gates belt drive offers smoother and quieter operation compared to a chain, as well as reduced maintenance, and very much fits the cruiser theme.

J.Juan provide the disc brakes, with a large 300 mm front rotor and four-piston caliper, while a single-piston caliper is run on the 220 mm rear rotor.

The 250CL-C comes standard with dual-channel ABS and even offers traction control (TCS) as standard, for greater confidence in slippery road conditions and a safety net for new riders.

Designed with new and smaller riders in mind, the 250CL-C fills the gap in the Australian market by offering a low-displacement cruiser, and will be available in Teal Green from just $7,490 ride-away from authorised CFMOTO motorcycle dealerships nationwide.
