The CFMOTO 700MT has been awarded the 2026 MALAYSIAN MOTORCYCLE OF THE YEAR (BEST VALUE FOR MONEY) at the 2026 ALLIANZ MALAYSIA MOTORCYCLE OF THE YEAR, a well-deserved accolade that recognises the Chinese manufacturer’s masterful achievement in delivering adventure touring capability at an accessible price point without compromising on performance, features, or build quality. The judges were unanimous in their assessment that the 700MT redefines the value proposition in the middleweight adventure segment, offering a comprehensive package that rivals machines costing significantly more while maintaining the rugged durability and touring competence that adventure riders demand. At the heart of this exceptional value is a proven 693cc parallel-twin engine, producing a responsive 68 hp and 60 Nm of torque with smooth, predictable power delivery suitable for both highway cruising and light off-road exploration. The 700MT’s specification sheet reads like that of a premium competitor, featuring fully adjustable KYB suspension with 150mm of travel front and rear, J.Juan braking components with dual-channel ABS that can be disengaged at the rear for unpaved terrain, a large 19-inch front wheel for confident obstacle handling, and a generous 18-litre fuel tank providing exceptional touring range. Where the 700MT truly shines is in its inclusion of modern amenities often reserved for higher-priced competitors—a full-colour TFT display with smartphone connectivity, LED lighting throughout, engine protection bars, a centre stand, and hand guards all as standard equipment. CFMOTO’s growing reputation for reliability backed by an expanding dealer network across Malaysia further strengthens the ownership proposition, offering peace of mind alongside the motorcycle’s accessible price point. By delivering genuine adventure touring capability, premium componentry, and thoughtful touring-focused features at a price that undercuts established competitors by a substantial margin, the CFMOTO 700MT sets a new benchmark for what riders can expect from a value-oriented adventure motorcycle, earning its place as the undisputed Best Value for Money winner for 2026.
