Mechanics with potential for retrofitting
According to the published patent drawings, the system is designed so that it can be combined with a conventional upside-down fork (USD) and a classic steering head. This makes it possible in principle to retrofit the system to existing models. The handlebar unit is mounted above the upper triple clamp via a floating bracket. A special linkage connected to electromechanical actuators allows the height and position of the handlebar to be adjusted electronically.
Footrest adjustment with a wide range of movement
The footrests can also be flexibly adjusted using the new system. They are mounted on swivel bearings and can be moved up and down as well as forward and backward over a range of 180 degrees. CFMoto thus offers a significantly greater adjustment range than previous solutions. Conventional systems usually require tools to adjust the footrests and handlebars. The new concept, on the other hand, allows for quick and easy adjustment – even while riding.
Integration into the riding mode system
Another advantage is that the electronic adjustment can be combined with the motorcycle’s various riding modes. The seat position is then adjusted automatically to match the selected mode. For example, a more comfortable and upright posture could be set for road use, while an aggressive, forward-leaning position could be activated in sport mode.
No series production in sight yet
At this point in time, it is unclear whether and when the system will be seen in series production vehicles. Even though similar approaches – such as those from Damon Motors – have only been shown as concepts so far, the CFMoto patent shows that interest in flexibly adjustable ergonomic solutions continues to exist. It remains to be seen whether the development will go beyond the patent stage or whether CFMoto simply wants to secure the intellectual property for the time being.
