In terms of safety, the CFMoto 250SR comes equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS/combined braking system (CBS) to avoid skidding while braking. The suspension duties on the motorcycle are taken care of by telescopic forks up front and a monoshock unit on the rear.
