CFMoto has unveiled the new 550 CL-C cruiser, a step up from the 450 CL-C. It's powered by a newly developed 526cc parallel-twin engine, roughly 80% redesigned, producing 52.3 hp and 51 Nm of torque. Wheelbase and fuel tank capacity have also grown, and the bike features a 3.6-inch round TFT display with smartphone connectivity.

Compared to the old 450, what got me was the newly designed 526cc parallel twin. Roughly 80% new, 52.3 horsepower, torque up from 42 to 51Nm. Compression bumped to 12.5:1, and a 3.6-inch round TFT with smartphone connectivity. Going this far with the swap really shows CFMoto's seriousness.

What can you actually do with the round TFT display's smartphone connectivity?

Nav display, checking notifications, ride log recording — those are the standard features.

Longer wheelbase and bigger tank capacity too — they're clearly thinking about touring use as well.

52.3hp and 51Nm is plenty of torque for a cruiser, more than enough.

An all-new 526cc that's roughly 80% redesigned isn't just a bored-out 450 CL-C.

Developing a whole new engine from scratch for a cruiser like this really shows off CFMoto's R&D muscle.
