Description
Is the CFMOTO 800 MTX the real deal for hardcore Aussie adventure riding? I’ve just put my own money down on one, and before the "Full Build" begins, it’s time for a brutal 400km shakedown test.
In this video, we push the stock suspension to the limit across fast dirt, rocky climbs, washouts, and slippery mud. I also catch up with world traveler Paolo Cattaneo, who has lived with his 800 MTX for over a year and 7,000km. Is his $40 "Temu special" muffler actually any good? We’re getting the honest owner's truth.
In this episode:
The Shakedown: Testing the OEM YU'AN suspension on erosion mounds and 10-metre jumps.
The Nav Setup: Installing the DMD NOR7E navigation system and the weight penalty of the new tower.
Weight Matters: Like our T7 build, we are weighing every single part to see what the accessories actually add.
The Tyres Mistake: Why keeping the stock "road-biased" tyres for this loop was a massive regret.
Long-Term Reliability: Paolo Cattaneo shares his 1-year owner experience and his budget-friendly build approach.
The goal for this build is simple: protection, rider comfort, carrying capacity, and navigation. We’ve already swapped the tower and added the larger OEM screen, but the real work starts now.
