Overview

Introducing the 2009 CCM C-XR230-S, a standout in the super motard category that perfectly blends performance, versatility, and style. Renowned for its lightweight frame and nimble handling, the C-XR230-S is designed for those who crave the thrill of urban riding as well as tackling winding country roads. With a powerful yet compact single-cylinder engine, this motorcycle is tailored for enthusiasts who appreciate a spirited ride without compromising on day-to-day practicality. At the heart of the C-XR230-S lies a robust 230cc four-stroke engine that delivers a commendable 18 horsepower. Its air-cooled design ensures reliability and low maintenance, while the electronic ignition system (CDI) provides consistent starts and smooth power delivery. With a compression ratio of 9.2:1, riders can expect a responsive throttle that makes navigating city streets and backroads a breeze. The lightweight chassis, tipping the scales at just 118 kg (260.1 pounds), combined with a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1525 HP/kg, results in exhilarating acceleration and agile maneuverability—perfect for darting through traffic or carving corners. The C-XR230-S is equipped with a tubular welded steel frame that contributes to its durability and stability, while the conventional 40mm front suspension and adjustable single shock rear suspension provide a comfortable ride across various terrains. The motorcycle sports 21-inch front wheels and 18-inch rear wheels, optimizing both grip and agility. With an 8.80-litre fuel capacity, you can enjoy longer rides without frequent stops, and a ground clearance of 300 mm (11.8 inches) ensures that you can tackle bumps and potholes without worry. Plus, its sleek white color option enhances its modern aesthetic, making it a head-turner on the road. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Nimble: At 118 kg, the C-XR230-S offers exceptional maneuverability, making it perfect for urban environments and twisty roads.
  • Strong Performance: The 230cc engine provides ample power for both city commuting and spirited weekend rides, with responsive acceleration.
  • Adjustable Suspension: The single shock rear suspension with adjustable preload allows riders to customize their ride for comfort and performance based on their weight and riding style.
