We provide a new view on the Cygnus-X north complex by accessing for the first time the low mass content of young stellar populations in the region. CFHT/WIRCam camera was used to perform a deep near-IR survey of this complex, sampling stellar masses down to ~0.1M_{sun}. Several analysis tools, including a extinction treatment developed in this work, were employed to identify and uniformly characterise a dozen unstudied young star clusters in the area. Investigation of their mass distributions in low-mass domain revealed a relatively uniform log-normal IMF with a characteristic mass of 0.32+/-0.08M{sun}_ and mass dispersion of 0.40+/-0.06. In the high mass regime, their derived slopes showed that while the youngest clusters (age<4Myr) presented slightly shallower values with respect to the Salpeter's, our older clusters (4Myr
