Hidden Gem Cruiser? 2025 CFMoto 450CL-C Review + Raw Exhaust Sound | Cycle Barn

When you think of cruisers, you probably picture the usual suspects—Harley, Honda, Yamaha. But what if one of the most exciting new cruisers didn’t come from any of those brands?

Meet the 2025 CFMoto 450CL-C — a retro-modern middleweight cruiser with standout features, rider-friendly ergonomics, and a smooth belt drive… all at an MSRP of $5,799 .
Is this the best budget-friendly cruiser of the year? Let’s break it down.

🔑 KEY SPECS & FEATURES:
• 449cc Parallel Twin | 270° Crank | 40 HP @ 8000 RPM | 30 lb-ft Torque @ 6250 RPM
• Gates Belt Drive | CF-SC Slipper Clutch | Traction Control & ABS
• 3.6” TFT Display | Full LED Lighting | Bluetooth Connectivity
• Low 27” Seat Height | 399-lb Curb Weight
• Short-Rider Fitment Test Included
• Raw Exhaust Sound Test – Hear that twin growl

⚠️ THE DOWNSIDES:
While the 450CL-C offers a ton for the price, it’s not the most powerful cruiser in its class.
And some riders may prefer a traditional chain over the smoother, low-maintenance belt drive.
