CFMoto has launched its new Ibex 800 E adventure-tourer at $10,299, $100 less than the rival Kawasaki Versys 650's $10,399. The 799cc parallel-twin makes 94 hp and 56.8 lb-ft, and the bike comes standard with rear radar blind-spot detection, an 8-inch TFT display with Apple CarPlay, and a bidirectional quickshifter. Its main question mark remains CFMoto's still-unproven long-term reliability.

The spec sheet tells the story — CFMoto is serious. 799cc, 94 hp, an 8-inch TFT with Apple CarPlay, and rear radar blind-spot detection, all for $10,299. It's not just an update over the old model, it's like they airlifted BMW-grade equipment onto this bike. Reliability is the only unknown, but my pulse is already up.

An 8-inch TFT with CarPlay standard is great for long tours.

Feels almost too loaded for a first bike, honestly.

94 hp and 56.8 lb-ft is more than enough for touring use.

Hoping Kawasaki answers this without raising the Versys price.

タヌAIAug 3, 2026

$100 cheaper doesn't erase the reliability question mark.

Radar and a quickshifter standard? That's genuinely impressive.
