CFMOTO Dual 250 Nepal launch confirmed

CFMOTO is gearing up to launch the Dual 250 motorcycle in Nepal, targeting riders who want one machine that handles daily roads and weekend trails with equal confidence. Sales are expected to begin around the English New Year, with an official unveiling planned for January 2026.

The motorcycle is currently in the final phase of real world testing across different parts of Nepal, suggesting the brand is tuning the bike specifically for local terrain and riding conditions.

Brought to Nepal by Rishi Trade Center

The authorized distributor Rishi Trade Center, operating under the Reliance Group, will introduce the Dual 250 to the Nepali market. With adventure and dual purpose motorcycles seeing a steady rise in demand, this launch fits neatly into the current buying trend.

CFMOTO is clearly expanding its footprint beyond the already popular CFMOTO 450MT, strengthening its lineup with a lighter and more accessible option.

249cc engine tuned for versatility

Powering the Dual 250 is a 249cc liquid cooled engine that meets Euro 5 emission standards.

Key performance figures include

• 24.4 PS of maximum power
• 22.5 Nm of peak torque
• 6 speed gearbox for flexible riding

The setup focuses on usable power rather than outright speed, making it well suited for city riding, highways, and uneven back roads.

Lightweight build with proper off road hardware

At just 154 kg, the CFMOTO Dual 250 keeps things light and manageable. This low weight is a major advantage on rough trails, steep climbs, and technical sections.

It uses

• 21 inch front spoke wheel
• 18 inch rear spoke wheel
• Dual purpose tyres for mixed terrain

This wheel setup is a proven formula for dual sport motorcycles and signals serious off road intent.

Suspension and safety that actually matter

CFMOTO has focused on functional hardware rather than flashy extras.

You get

• USD front forks
• Rear monoshock suspension
• Dual channel ABS
• Slip assist clutch

This combination improves control, braking confidence, and overall ride comfort, especially when conditions are less than perfect.

Ground clearance and fuel range for Nepal roads

The Dual 250 offers a 245 mm ground clearance, which is more than enough for broken roads, trails, and unexpected obstacles. A 13 liter fuel tank ensures decent touring range without constant fuel stops.

These numbers make it practical not just for adventure rides, but also for everyday use outside major cities.

Expected price and key rivals in Nepal

The expected price of the CFMOTO Dual 250 in Nepal is around NPR 6 lakh. At this level, it goes head to head with

• Honda XR190
• Hero Xpulse 210 which is also expected to launch around January

With a larger engine and more advanced suspension, the Dual 250 positions itself as a strong value driven alternative in this segment.

Why the CFMOTO Dual 250 matters

The Dual 250 is not about hype. It is about balance. Enough power to enjoy, light enough to control, and rugged enough for Nepal’s mixed riding environment. For riders looking to step into the dual purpose category without jumping straight to heavier adventure bikes, this motorcycle lands right in the sweet spot.

How the market responds will become clear after launch, but on paper, the CFMOTO Dual 250 looks ready to shake up Nepal’s 250cc dual sport segment.
