Papio

CFMoto introduced the Papio nameplate as a modern mini-moto family for model year 2023, launching it with the XO Papio Racer and soon expanding the lineup with the XO Papio Trail. The concept was presented as a compact, style-led motorcycle range that leans into retro-inspired design, approachable dimensions, and everyday fun rather than outright performance. CFMoto’s official global site now groups the family under a dedicated Papio section, confirming that it remains part of the brand’s current motorcycle lineup. The early production-era identity of the nameplate was built around small-displacement, playful machines with shared underpinnings but distinct personalities: the Racer emphasizes a cafe-racer/mini-racer look, while the Trail adds scrambler cues and a more upright, playful character. In CFMoto’s lineup, Papio sits as an enthusiast-oriented entry point that blends novelty, collectability, and city-friendly usability, making it one of the brand’s most distinctive recent nameplates.
