- WOWZERS! This bike was a ton of fun to ride, and I would encourage anyone with a CFMOTO dealership near them to go ride one if your dealer offers it. It's a solid 9/10 for the value it brings to the table with all of its incredible features and standard equipment.
Fun Fact: An Ibex is a mountain goat.
Don't forget to comment for the RevZilla gift card!
Thanks for watching. See you in the next one.

Sat on one this morning. Very impressive and great value for money. Faultless finish. Riding position and seat height excellent for my six feet. Handlebar position felt very natural. Crash bars and luggage racks as standard is a real bonus. Seat wide and comfortable. Pegs not too high although close in.
Great review! I currently have the 650 ADVentura. Love it! I ordered the Ibex 800 so it should be here soon! Can’t wait!!!
I test rode this bike today and I was very impressed by it. I agree with the points made in the video. The list price of this bike is $10,999 US. A BMW F850GS similarly optioned with the TFT, heated grips and cruise control would cost $15,000. Also the IBEX comes with the side racks, crash bars and skid plate which would cost extra on most bikes.
I just watched your video on it. I just want to be sure you liked the throttle
by the time you came EVEN find a Ibex in the US.. and after all the FU Fees by CFmoto and what few dealers there are in the USA.. you're nearing $15k OTD.... reality check...
@@BERZERKERSV4 Randy's cycle in Marengo Illinois has both and he generally keeps his fees pretty reasonable.
@@carlosvejar3938 I had no issue with the throttle or the fueling.
@@BERZERKERSV4 $13,400 OTD in Las Vegas 3 on the floor as I write this. Taxes title registration and out the door you go
Honestly a great video. This bike really peaks my interest as a possible next one. A LOT for the money. Also, thanks for making clear, simple and entertaining videos
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed. Ride safe. 😎👍
Great video I saw this bike in person today when I picked up my cfmoto side by side I damn near said load it on the trailer too beauty bike then he told me it's the ktm 790 engine and yup this is on the to buy list!!!
Excellent review
Nice review! 🙌
You make good videos. Thank you so much! I definitely will check the moto out.
Great review! I'm in Canada and for what you get for the price, this bike is pretty dang nice!
I saw this bike on the showroom floor at my local dealer. It definitely intrigued my interest after finding out it’s relation in the engine department to KTM. Springtime revzilla giftcard giveaway. Nice review
The Ibex is not a machine to scoff at, it's capable of running with the big boys!
Also, I normally will not allow late entries, but since I am behind on doing the giveaway I will allow you to be entered. You're in!
I have a cf moto 600 four wheeler and it is very reliable have had it for 3 years and runs and rides like new still
Love watching your reviews and have been waiting on this one to come out. I have the '22 650 Adventura, but the 800 has a lot more features I would have liked to see on the 650. Definitely tempted to trade up. My local dealer just got an 800 in stock for demo, so I plan to go for a test ride and check it out. Thanks!
There’s a really good chance you’ll be riding home with it. I’d say if you’re financing and they give you a payment quote that fits your budget, dive in!
@Omni Moto Had I known about the 800 when I bought my 650 I probably would have waited. The handguards, engine guards, center stand, fog lights, heated grips/seat, cruise control, 80/20 tires, and skid plate are all great features to have on an adventure bike at that price point. I was a little disappointed that the 650's didn't come with handguards and engine guards like the models sold in other countries did, plus I had to pull the stock street tires off and go with 70/30's to set it up for riding dirt. Would like to see you review the 800 sport model too and compare differences. The sport model is $1k cheaper so tempted to look at it too to save some money, but may not be worth the features you lose dropping down to that model.
I am a huge fan of this bike, i plan on making it my new bike this year. For all the reasons you stated
Good luck with your future endeavors. You got this
@@carlosvejar3938 Have you already purchased this car?
Man between the 800 ibex and the 650 adventura. I love the slim lines of the 650 I just wish it came with spoked wheels

Great video. I haven't seen one in person yet. Only watched a few UA-cam videos. Seems like a decent bargain. Price is higher here in Canada than what you guys in the US pay (no surprise here I guess) Would like to test ride personally.
I live in Medellin Colombia we have bicyclist riding on the freeway between traffic. So weird here that very few riding laws are enforced you can ride the wrong way on one-way street or even up on sidewalks. The difference here is most people just aren't throttle happy. In 5 yrs never seen a bad accident bcs of the speed. Now riding up in the mountains everyone rides super fast if things go sideways it could get deadly. Thanks, great vid I think I will be looking at this bike. I have a daily cruiser yammi bolt 950. But looking for a bike to ride w ex-pats and 75% on the road and 25 % off. thanks best vid on this bike!
I really appreciate this review. It's also nice to see you out on I-70. As a native Missourian myself, now a Kansas-side KC transplant, I often go see family back near St. Louis. I don't think I'll work up to that journey on a bike anytime soon, but it's nice to see you out there nonetheless. I wonder if this would be a good bike for me... 6ft tall, 245lbs, Almost 40, have had back surgery, and somewhat new to riding. The value for what you get seems spot on, but although it does have ABS, it makes me nervous it doesn't have traction control. Appreciate your thoughts!
Missouri natives unite! 🤘
This bike would fit you really well. The ergonomics would be great if you have back problems since they are so upright and proper, but a cruiser with a backrest would also be beneficial as well.
Although traction control seems to be the only thing missing, all of the other creature comforts make up for it. The value for what you get is unbeatable in this class.
Best of luck in your future potential motorcycle endeavors, and ride safe. Go chiefs! 😎
Have you purchased this car? If you haven't purchased it yet, please wait for the latest 800MT to arrive in your country. The new model is equipped with Bosch's TCS, and the effect is very good. This would be a huge improvement to security.
Thanks for the review on this. I am very interested in this motorcycle. You mentioned the slow speed maneuverability. Does the weight and top heavy feel make the slow maneuvers difficult? How is the clutch feel (light or heavy)? Thanks again for the videos.
The weight does make it slightly top heavy off the stand, but low speed feels great right away. As a dealership sales guy, I pull out a variety of motorcycles everyday from sport bike to full-dressed baggers, so I get daily practice on bikes in the parking lot. That might give me an advantage, but I found the bike very easy to ride and do low speed maneuvers immediately.
In the beginning of the video I was pulling tight circles and that was 3 minutes seat time, so as long as you’ve got some prior experience on other bikes, I’d say you can practice for about 20-30 minutes in a parking lot and you could master it.
In my opinion, the pull force needed on the clutch I’d say is a 5/10. It’s hard to put into words, but it feels like the exact amount of pull-force you would expect to have to use for the machine. If you have average grip strength or better, you shouldn’t have an issue.
Hope this answers your questions. 😄 Thanks for watching!
nice looking bike for a good price. I would do more research in hopes of getting a warm fuzzy about reliability. Don't want headaches.
IChecking bike out tomorrow After work
looking forward to it if I like it I’m gonna buy it I’ve been looking for bike like this for a long time
Did you get to go take a look? What did you think?
Great review, the audio wasn't as good as normal though. I prefer the 650 Adventura boxes to the factory option boxes on the Ibex. While I can appreciate it comes with the rack already will the 650 boxes fit on this? If not, is the rack mount similar to the 650? Perhaps it could be transferred?
Hey Steve, it was a windy day unfortunately so my audio suffered a little bit. :(
I don't believe the 650 boxes will mount up to the Ibex panniers. We have them next to each other in the showroom and the bolt pattern/structure of the metal pannier is different between the two models. Thanks for watching, and ride safe!
I’ve watched a few videos on this bike, including Ozarks Backroads who traded his VStrom 650 for the Ibex 800. I like the included accessories, tubeless tires, racks, and Cruise Control. But I have a deposit on the new VStrom 800 DE. Though it doesn’t have as many features, it’s more off-road capable and has a much bigger dealer network.
CFMOTO’s dealer network is growing everyday. The most challenging part are obtaining the more intricate mechanical and electrical replacement parts like starters, rods, pistons, etc. With the Ibex, that _shouldn’t_ be issue given it’s a KTM heart/frame.
CFMOTO is still building their foundation and reputation here in the states, so hopefully parts support+availability improve as they stick around. I don’t see them going anywhere anytime soon.
Good luck with the ‘Zuki though! It looks awesome and I’m sure it will live up to the Vstrom legacy of its predecessors. Thanks for watching and ride safe. 😎👍
Great job on this review! Be good to have someone (female or male) who is a bit shorter (5’6ish) to give those height challenged the notion if its ideal or not. 😊
Great video. What is the ground clearance measurement?
I believe it's very similar to the 790 Adventure from KTM, but just a tad lower with slightly smaller wheels, I think it's around 8-8.5" of ground clearance. Thanks for watching!
Great review, curious if you know for sure but I'd assume it's tubed tires at this price point with spokes? Once some aftermarket seats and windshields become available I may add one to the garage as a toy
According to their global website the tires are tubeless. 😄

Tubeless
I have 2000 miles on mine and the seat is as comfortable and supportive as the day I picked it up. Also windshields are very subjective. I personally have no buffeting in the high position. I'm a risk taker and am betting on this brand to grow. I went from a 2015 V-Strom 1000 to this and do far no regrets.
Hey Omni Man! Dude! You got the front wheel up easily! Unfortunately this model version doesn’t have Traction Control but, there is another version coming that has. What is the price in the states? Excluding taxes because naturally 😉🤔 I do hope your models have the newer ECU’s developed right here in Aus that the factory were going to roll out globally 🤔 There is a fuelling issue that wasn’t refined. So, maybe it has for the US? I have the 650MT & it’s more than enough for my needs. Especially here in Aus where there are more speed cameras than automobiles 🤦♂️ except out bush😎 Will you trade your MT for the new NK800 perhaps 😉😎
Yo Steve! The bike is a little tricky to pull the wheel while on the move, but someone with more skill than myself could probably get it done and do it better. 😬 Price in US is $9,499 for the 800 S model, and $10,499 for the model I rode, the 800 T. The fueling on this bike felt good to me, but I try to not focus too much on fueling and more so on the overall experience of each bike. The 650 is a fun little powerplant with plenty of capability, and if it makes you happy, that's what matters!! 😎 The MT won't be going anywhere - she's too much of a wild card. 😅
As a man, 6'5" 270lbs this bike feels good and ride with me well it just to high and heavy on top for me..
That seems to be the biggest obstacle to conquer for a lot of these mid-bore and big-bore ADV bikes. Lots of ground clearance usually means tall suspension, which puts most of the weight up high, so you're center of gravity suffers. There are solutions out there like KTM's Adventure 790/890 R that carry the fuel incredibly low, but it's not the prettiest solution and there is a price premium to be paid for the orange company.
Hopefully, there will be a company in the future that will be able to create the unicorn middle-weight ADV bike enthusiasts are seeking.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Ride safe. 😎
Great video! I was wondering.. My lenght is 171cm, will i struggle riding this bike? I mean, will i be on my tippie tows at a stand still or will it be fine?
You’ll have some slight difficulty at a stop, but if you practice with the machine enough and get comfortable with it, you’ll find that 1 foot on the ground is sufficient enough to hold it up. If you are focused on having both feet on the ground, I don’t think you’ll be quite on your tip-toes. The balls of your feet should reach fine as long as you have a “normal” inseam lol.
It’s not _so_ tall that you wouldn’t be able to handle it at your height though. Get on one and then decide. 👍
Looks like a budget (but with non-budget trim) GS 850, very nice.
Super sweet bike for the value. CFMOTO refuses to lose the value battle, and I'm here for it.
@@Omni_Moto Honestly, as Ryan Fortnine said. "Stop selling us more bike for the same money, start selling us the same bike for less money." In his CB300 Video.
Springtime revzilla giftcard giveaway! As always, great video! Your video on the cfmoto 650 adventura really tipped the scales for me and I picked one up about 3 weeks ago. Quick question, since head motor company is a cfmoto dealer, I assume you guys will have better access to parts for my first break in maintenance and another maintenance I need done? So far, parts availability has been my main concern with cfmoto.
Yep! We're just past our 1st year of being a CFMOTO dealership, and still learning the ways. So far, obtaining parts has not been an issue, and doing basic things like oil changes are simple as long as you give us a bit of notice for when you'll be dropping off.

It's a good looking motorcycle for sure! I won't spend my money on a Chinese brand just because of my personal opinion on global politics right now, but if your concern is reliability keep in mind that companies typically don't offer 2 year warranties if they're not confident in their product... curious to see if these start becoming more common on the road!
PS. SPRINGTIME REVZILLA GIFTCARD GIVEAWAY!
I really can't wait for the 400SS... But I have had a chance to rid the sport version of this. Great bike honestly just not my style. However, I am waiting to see the 800NK for next year
Super curious to see the 800NK. The 800GT (I think that's the sport model) looked a bit chonky for my liking, and it isn't available in US markets anyway, so not worried about it. The 450SS is up next as soon as we get one off of a truck and assembled! Stay tuned. Thanks for returning Tyrant.
@@Omni_Moto then it was probably the lower tier IBEX. Because it didn't have a lot of the stuff to go with it. All I know is they offered me a test ride and I didn't refuse 😂

I love the bike just might be my next bike price point is a big factor I'm wondering about valve adjustment?
Valve adjustments are only needed about every 18,000 on the 790 KTM, so the same should ring true for this machine.
I'd say talk to your local dealer to learn more about how much they charge for that service and then if the price is right, pull the trigger and get on one!
Thanks for watching and ride safe.
@@Omni_Moto yes I seen 18k for adjustment better than BMW and the bikes are so expensive anymore
@@michaelcox5739 That to me sounds like enough justification to go out and scoop up an Ibex 800! Get out and go check one out in person. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Absolutely shop near me advertising the 800S for $6700 plus fees how can you beat that deal I seen crash bars are cheap couldn't find skid plate seriously considering

Ok so I live about 1.25 miles down a dirt road and I was wondering what the best beginner bike would be for me I have a 1 hour commute mostly on a highway but that dirt road kinda throws me for a loop what would you recommend
I think a Honda CB500X or NC750X. Could even wait a bit longer for the Transalp.
@@Omni_Moto thank ya boss man and I love the content 10/10 favorite Moto tuber
Big decision. 2022 KTM 890 adv s, or Ibex 800t. Both are same price. Both new. Which one would you buy?
Damn. Tough call really. I like the heated grips and heated seats for the Ibex. The KTM may have better resale value down the road (TBD for CFMOTO) and it does have 100 more cc, so will pack more punch across the rev range. Both fill the role well, but the KTM will ultimately be the more capable machine between the two. Ride both if you can and make your decision afterwards.
Im still patiently waiting on that 450ss to hit your store for an honest review.

At 5'7", Its a stretch. As for the bikes history all be it short, the CF Moto is a worldwide platform and has a ton of bikes out in the world. Side by sides were their bread and butter with a good track record. Make me taller and I am in.
I am the same height and it's manageable.
Me too, the advertised seat height is deceiving because, I think it is so wide. Also as a lighter rider, I couldn't get the suspension to budge so forget setting sag. Every other bikes' suspension in the showroom, with a push on the saddle would, compress nicely - not the ibex!

Entered! Congrats on your new bike!! Ride safe.
I really want to entertain the idea of buying a 790 KTM for a fraction of the price, but what deters me is the possibility that the CF Moto inherited all the KTM 790 reliability issues 👀👀
With the 790 engine now being a few generations down the road, I'd be hopeful it has most of the kinks worked out and can be used as a reliable commuter at this point. Again, I'm _hopeful_, but I can't confirm 100% the Ibex would not suffer from common issues that the 790 is known for.

I don't get it. If the hand guards are barkbusters with solid aluminum rails like all the other I have owned why are those pieces of plastic called barkbusters. Are they knock offs?.. Or were you so excited riding that beautiful machine you just got a little confused with your wording... Be honest.
I meant hand guards lol. I was just enjoying myself and not thinking all that hard 😄
@@Omni_Moto I knew it. You were all caught up in the Ibex moment. It happens alot.. keep em coming.
Great review! I considered this bike and it has almost everything I'd like. The only thing is that it's Chinese made and a newer brand here in Canada... I tried the 650 Adventura last year but found it still lacked a bit of refinement (fan was kicking on all the time and gearbox was a bit vague and hard to get to neutral)... I'm hoping this one is better but I was concerned with the resale value so I made a different choice. Maybe a bit later when it'll be a bit more established. SPRINGTIME REVZILLA GIFTCARD GIVEAWAY. Thanks!
You’ve been entered! Get out and ride the Ibex. It’s a step above the rest of the fleet of motorcycles from CF.
I feel like most brand new bikes, (under break-in period) get hot very often requiring the fan to come on. That's because there's still a lot of friction in the cylinder causing a lot of heat. Once they break in, the fan doesnt come on as often.
Check the bottom of your glass it's probably also made in China, the iPhone or Android you're watching this video on that's also made in China. The bike is partially assembled in China. And yes it's a Chinese company but the design and the parts are KTM ,BMW, bosch etc. Engine brakes Wheels etc. Come from the same manufacturers that Supply KTM. This switchgear is the exact same as on a BMW. The only reason I have yet to buy this bike, is that the American version does not yet have radar, adjustable traction control, the larger 8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth etc. That just debuted overseas. Once they add those she will be mine. We need to get over this made in China crap. Even the parts inside TVs assembled in Japan are made in China these days. Yes they do a very good job of copying other foreign companies
Anyone bought this bike? What was the price you pay out of the door with all the fees and taxes?
I'm looking at one right now. $11k final cost. Have to decide, Ibex or 890S

BUT when you add in freight, shipping, set up, dealer FU Fees, very limited dealer support/locations and the fact the bikes are not in dealer stock, ect ect.. the IBEX is nearly $15k.. and THAT'S KTM territory..not such a great value..

Depreciation is definitely still unknown, but if you ride it, you love it, and you can see yourself holding onto it for an extended period of time, I wouldn’t worry about it.
