Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2008 CCM C-XR230-M, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of adventure and the thrill of cross-motocross riding. With its robust design and lightweight construction, this bike is tailored for both seasoned riders and newcomers eager to tackle challenging terrains. CCM has carved a niche in the off-road segment, and the C-XR230-M stands out with its competitive pricing and formidable capabilities, making it a go-to choice for motocross enthusiasts looking to push their limits. At the heart of the C-XR230-M is a spirited 230cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that produces an impressive 18 horsepower at 8,500 RPM. This power is harnessed efficiently through a carburettor fuel system and electronic ignition, delivering a responsive throttle that excels in both acceleration and climbing steep inclines. The compression ratio of 9.2:1 ensures a smooth power delivery, while the air cooling system keeps the engine operating at optimal temperatures. The lightweight chassis, tipping the scales at only 118 kg (260.1 pounds), combined with a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1525 HP/kg, allows for agile handling and nimble maneuverability over obstacles, making every ride exhilarating. The C-XR230-M is packed with features designed for performance and comfort. Its conventional 40mm front suspension and adjustable preload single shock at the rear provide a balanced ride, absorbing bumps and enhancing stability on unpredictable trails. The single disc brakes, both front and rear, offer reliable stopping power, giving riders confidence during aggressive maneuvers. With a seat height of just 800 mm (31.5 inches), this bike is accessible for many riders, while the 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels are optimized for off-road capability. The electric starter adds convenience, ensuring that you're ready to hit the trails at a moment's notice. **
