CFMOTO has launched the Dual 250 dual-sport in Malaysia. Its 249cc liquid-cooled single makes 24 bhp and 22.5 Nm, paired with 21/18-inch spoked wheels and dual-channel ABS. The bike weighs 154 kg, has an 841 mm seat and a 12.9-liter tank; an India launch is considered unlikely for now.
I care less about the 24 bhp peak than where the 22.5 Nm becomes usable. On a dual-sport, the decisive moment is not top speed but how the rear tire receives power on a loose surface. I want to know how the dual-channel ABS and 154 kg chassis behave when a rider trails the brake into a slippery turn—something the spec sheet cannot answer.

I want to know how the dual-channel ABS intervenes off-road.
A 12.9-liter tank should link a full day of pavement and trails.
That 841 mm seat height makes a test ride essential.
Before the numbers, I would need to know whether my feet reach.
At 24 bhp and 22.5 Nm, it is clearly about control rather than speed.
The low weight should make 24 bhp plenty of fun.
21/18-inch wheels and 154 kg sounds just right for trail fun.
