2027 CFMOTO IBEX 450 Zephyr Blue

The best rides wander onto gravel. Drift down forgotten two-track. Lead somewhere — or nowhere at all. That's where the Ibex 450 comes alive. A thumb-operated switch lets you quickly disable rear-wheel ABS. Up on the pegs, the motorcycle moves naturally beneath you. Rocks. Ruts. Loose gravel. It absorbs, tracks and keeps going. Feather the clutch. The parallel twin delvers smooth, predictable power exactly when you need it. Ride the Ibex 450 back-to-back with anything in the class and it becomes clear — the balance, the control, the confidence, the way every system works together, you’ve found the sweet spot of adventure riding.

Features may include:

Adventure Inspired Styling

• A wide 36° steering angle, and balanced chassis geometry give the Ibex 450 its surefooted, responsive feel—nimble in low-speed terrain, stable at speed, and predictable across changing surfaces.

449cc Parallel Twin with 270° Crank

• Tuned for torque and built with a 270° crank, it delivers the broad, V-twin-style powerband that adventure riders love. The result is usable grunt down low, smooth pull through the midrange, and a surprising amount of muscle on road and off. The industry readily compares it to larger displacement engines—and not just for how it feels, but for how confidently it performs.

Purpose-Built ADV Chassis

• A high-tensile steel frame with a long swingarm delivers stability, feel, and traction across changing terrain. The reinforced rear subframe is built to carry luggage and load. Ground clearance and centered weight keep the ride balanced and composed when the trail turns technical.

Ergonomics That Work

• Adjustable seat height (31.5–32.3”) and neutral rider triangle provide proper body alignment and weight distribution—important for long hours on the pegs or seated control in mixed terrain.

Offroad-Ready ABS Switch

• Rear ABS is switchable, allowing full braking control on loose surfaces while retaining front-end safety on pavement—an essential tool for offroad use.

Ergonomic Comfort

• The Ibex 450 features a one-hand adjustable windshield and folding mirrors, ensuring clear visibility and safety for your off-road adventures. The adjustable handlebars and seat offer a custom fit. There’s even a lower linkage adjustment, favored by shorter and taller riders alike. For extended off-road journeys, try the accessory rally seat which allows for a full range of movement.

Light the Way

• Full LED lighting delivers a crisp, modern look and consistent visibility—front to back. Clean projection, instant-on response, and a sharp signature make the Ibex look as good as it rides.

J.Juan Brakes: 320mm Front/240mm Rear with Switchable ABS

• Serious stopping power with one-touch ABS on/off switch. J.Juan brakes offer high-end feel and performance, while the ability to switch off ABS at the rear lets you lock up when you need to—like in deep sand or dirt.
