CFMOTO’s IBEX nameplate appeared in North America as a market-specific label for the brand’s adventure-touring motorcycles, rather than as a single standalone global model line. The earliest model-year evidence I found is the 2024 IBEX 800-T, showing that the nameplate was in use by 2024. CFMOTO’s global materials around the same period identify the underlying family as the MT adventure series, with the 450MT first introduced globally at the end of 2023 and launched more widely in 2024. By model year 2025, the IBEX badge was also being used on the 450 in U.S. dealer inventory, confirming that the nameplate expanded beyond the initial 800-class machine. In this market, IBEX functions as the North American adventure-bike identity for CFMOTO, covering multiple related models under one branding theme. There is no evidence of an earlier discontinuation and revival, so the nameplate is best treated as a continuous, current production line rather than a restarted one.
