I’ve had a 2016 gator 825i since it was new power dump when I got that for the work style UTV it’s bug ok they’re getting so nice and I just learned about these ones this brown tonight and KTM Bankston Kawasaki motors these things you’re not getting nothing better for the money and the Style
Have watch a LOT of zforce reviews. Yours has been the most thorough and helpful I’ve seen. Most down to earth. Thank you
Hi James, how are you! Thanks for checking out my reviews, glad you find them informational. Are you looking at getting a Zforce? Any questions, let me know. Roland
Great review Roland, these machines are becoming popular with brand name riders and drivers. I predict more ground clearance and things like quality air filter improvements. Best bang for your buck in the side by side industry.
Thanks and I agree with you. Best bang for your buck
Great review.I have a 2017 zforce 800 over 5000 kms,no problems and am super satisfied with it.just bought my wife a 2021 cf force 800 4 wheeler last summer and love it too.great,reliable machines.
Great to hear!
After looking into these for a bit I finally pulled the trigger so I could take my daughter out to go have some fun! It’s been a blast and she loves it too!
Hope you enjoy it!
Great review, I am new to the CFMoto line of products, and after many hours of watching reviews of different models finally purchased a U force 800 2022 model with the upgraded engine. I find it to be of exceptional build-quality and comparable to the other OEM units available.
Welcome aboard! Congrats! What do you mean an upgraded engine? BTW I just bought another myself. That video will be out at 7PM tonight.
Really? So you would say it's as good as polaris rzr 800? I been thinking about one of these just not sure
Fantastic review buddy. Real helpful
Glad you liked it
Love my 1000 overland. I have the tune and headers and clutch kit. Broski, I recommend doing the same to your z force. Its well worth it!!! Hester Elka shocks are my next upgrade. One down side is that it Drinks gas Guy's.
Thanks for the video. Ive been wanting a sidexside for MANY years and think I may just pull the trigger on a CFMoto for my 1st one.
Best of luck!
this was a great review, exactly what i needed to see. I'm buying 6 CFMOTOs for my new ATV rental business
Oh cool, where abouts are you from? I think you are making the right choice.
Great video buddy cfmoto is a great machine I’m on my third and love them especially my new one.
Yes they are! I don't remember what was your 1st cfmoto? atv?
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER No 2018 zforce 1000
Love your videos on the CFmoto! Question, how loud is it? I ask because a friend of mine has a side-by-side (don't know the make) which is so loud you can't talk with the other person in the vehicle when going down the road. With this CFmoto, do you find yourself having to talk extra loud when riding?
Yes I do. Arent they all a bit loud, the engine is in the rear right behind the seats
Can u pls tell where to get one of those bar light you fitted.. thanks
Great job Roland. Let's get out for a ride soon. 👍
We will have to do some snow cruising Ben!
Hello, great review!
Interested in one to replace my pioneer 500 with 1100+hrs. Have u noticed the lack of a tight turning radius? I hear the ‘23 trails (50in) have a longer wheelbase which wouldn’t help either, plus the high- centering aspect would be even more apparent.. I ride real tight, hilly woods..
Also, what rims are those, and what offset and bolt pattern?
Thanks for your time- more vids!
I didn't notice a big problem with the turning radius but then again I haven't had anything to compare it to. Those a stock rims
I have a Zforce 800 and I really like haven't any problems with it
Great review, appreciate your honesty. I have a CanAm ATV, and it too has an annoying brake noise, but hey, the brakes work. Am seriously thinking about getting one like yours, only thing is I can haul my ATV in the back of my Tundra, not sosure the 800 SxS would fit. Cheers from NL.
Sounds like you might need a trailer as well. Let me know if you decide to buy a zforce!
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER ,I do have a trailer, but in the city it is to get it into our driveway, so I use the truck bed for both quad and snowmobile.
That won’t be a deciding factor though re going the SxS route. Will let you know.
Love my cforce 500! I had a Yamaha rhino, Yamaha Kodiak, Honda fourtrax and so far the CFMOTO has been the best hopefully it will last through the years, 3 years and going strong
Great to hear, thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot from Uruguay ❤
You're welcome 😊
Wow!… i just hit 1000 miles on my Honda atv and its 14 years old. Still runs like a champ!… I’m keeping it. 🥰 I’ve been looking at the CF Moto’s… and i like them but i just cant justify buying one for the amount i’d use it.
I don’t know how you ride with out adjusting your suspension. Especially for winter riding. My front end has to be stiffened right up in winter or I get beat to hell and pulled everywhere 🤕
Just curious,,,how many km per tank you can do,,,because I'm looking at a zforce 800 now,,,,and keep the great videos coming,,,always enjoying them 👍
I've never er calculated it but I have no complaints about fuel mileage. It's really good
I have a z950. I do carry an extra 5 gallon can of gas and some times I do use it. But in fairness my son n I do go exploring knowing we might get lost so we also take extra food and a tent n sleeping bags.
Now there is the best type of riding. Trying to get lost. I've always been that way.
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER trust me. We don't have to try. Most trails around here are not marked or mapped. But in the process I've got a bunch of new fishing spots. And some very nice trailside camping spots. The majority land owner is a local logging company. I talked to them about doing this n they happy with it.
Great review.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 😊
Just shy of 5k miles on my 20 Z950. Nary a single issue. 2 year warranty expiration came and went back in July of 22....and i didn't even realize it til my dealer mentioned it to me at a BBQ in September. Been a rock of a machine...best $13 grand I ever spent.
Thanks for you testimony Jimmy, always great to hear positive stories like yours. 😊
Great review
Thank you 😊
Is there enough engine heat shielding to keep the seats and cab from getting hot as many other UTVs do?
It gets warm, cooler weather is here now.
I think it’s time to upgrade to the new ZFORCE 950! 💪
Very helpful, tks
You're welcome!
Seems like they have improved quality big time, we had 3 2015 800 ZForce machines and they were garbage. But in recent years they seem to be pretty good
I agree 👍
I have a 2021 z force 500 trail and have 3,300 miles. Iv had the drive belt replaced and had oil changes and I just had to buy a battery a couple days ago. I think it's a good machine. I do want a 800 and want to stay at the 50 inch wide.
Hi Johnny, You like that 50 inch wide do you? Do you ride lots of narrow trails? In the woods alot?
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER I live in Utah so yeah I ride all over the mountains n high desert land
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER In the usa, many trails have barriers preventing vehicles over 50" from access. Even "regular" roads could be an issue. In this video, skip to 18:40. ua-cam.com/video/8rXJL46lwcc/v-deo.html The only reason I can figure for the restriction on this bridge is it must be REALLY weak & they don't wanna replace it 🙃
i went from a can am to a cf moto atv and i really like it, my 2022 cforce 800 its basically a copy of an outlander just not quite as beefy in the suspension department, a bit less power. but thousands cheaper and ive never had a problem yet, it goes everywhere all my friends can go
Awesome plus you're having the same amount of fun for thousands less
I'm thinking of buying a new 23 commander xt700 ... test drive today, pretty nice... however the new 950 here has me intrigued. Have not seen or ridden zforce/cfmoto yet. Am still skeptical with all the prior reviews being garbage... but it does sound like they have gotten better
I really enjoy all your videos I really like your Z force 950HOEX I bought one because of you I bought Z force 950HO I really like your lower doors I would like to know where you got them they really look good and maybe you can send me a link Thank you so much
Thanks very much! Congratulations on your Zforce 950! My dealer added the doors. They are Tesseract doors. I think they are made in Russia. Where are you from?
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER I am from the US
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER I really like the way they look I cannot find them anywhere I really like the way they look I cannot find them anywhere
Do you have a link or parts number to the doors? I dont see them on the website. Thanks
Found other options for that door. SuperATV doesnt send to Yukon. Thanks
I’ve owned three since 2019, two ATV’s and one SxS. I have the 2 ATV’s still and got rid of the SxS. It was an 800 and wasn’t for me, to uncomfortable.
Yep I can't see me owning anything else
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER I also own a Sportsman 500 Polaris. I’ve had more issues with it than the CF Motos, it is quite a bit older though.
I have found that hauling mine with the parking brake causes issues. I unload it and it's like the brakes don't want to free up for a few miles. I haven't been able to figure out the exact cause for this.
Wow I haven't ever heard that before. What side by side do you have?
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER z force 800ex 2021
I don't know why they didn't build the roof with a small trough along the front would help a lot
Hey that gives me an idea!
Just bought 23 950ho ex an they now come with the gutter system built in
mud makes your break pads squeak. change your pads out
Why is everybody and their brother trying to do cold start videos? somebody really like them. Am I missing something?
Hold on a minute I bought this from you.
I rented one last winter. It was pretty beaten. Steering wheel was all crooked. Everything felt worn and cheap. The dealer that had a fleet of them had 2 that could not be fixed. He told me he will sell them all get a deal for a new fleet. After that, I knew I'd never buy a Cfmoto.
The thing about rented equipment with hundreds of different drivers is, none of them give a shit. They'll beat the shit out of it, return it and go on about their day. No brand is going to last when it's a rental, so saying you wouldn't buy a cfmoto because of a rental being a piece of shit because it had the hell beat out of it is short sightedness on your part.
Thing of it is if there a rental unit there probably so beat it’s not even funny I have to CF moto quads and they been really good for me have had no issues with them and I’ve had them for three years but this is just my opinion the one you used was probably so abused it was probably literally on its last leg.
That's because it was used by people who didn't care and didn't have experience. I've had mine a year and I take care of it. Everything is still tight and works great.
@@Blueknight1960 maybe not, I drive everything like I stole it😂
Most likely, if it was a different brand, you would have had the same impression. Not the manufacturers fault it was thrashed. Been plowing hard all winter with a Cforce 800, and doesn't miss a beat.
Sharp looking bike. What brand and size are your tires and wheels. Cheers from Canada
27 inch and they were CST I believe. Thanks for watching!
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER the wheels or tires were CST ??
@@FYMM69 Tires, the wheels are the original cfmoto wheels
It is not a bike a bike has 2 wheels.
@@1911bg What classifies something as a bike?
bicycle, also called bike, two-wheeled steerable machine that is pedaled by the rider's feet. On a standard bicycle the wheels are mounted in-line in a metal frame, with the front wheel held in a rotatable fork.
....so a dirt bike shouldn't be called a bike either, or a motor bike?
You're getting really picky, must be a millennial or a Jeep lover. lol
I sold my cf moto ex800 and bought a can am dsrr best move ever.
Congratulations
I guarantee it will never last as long as my 1987 Honda 4 Trax has.
Likely but hard to say. Got to admit it's a lot cooler and a better machine to ride than a 4 trax. That's a ladies atv isn't it?
My 2021 cfmoto 800 engine stopped after 30 miles. Gave dealer 300 to see what was wrong,he didn't know. I have a new garage queen.Never buy another one. Moto would wouldn't help.
Interesting
Warranty didn't cover it? And why did you give them $300?
Oh and yes the seatbelt sucks
Once I took the seatbelt apart and cleaned it, it's been working great. I though about harnesses but I''m always moving. I'm either in the glove box grabbing something or moving my GoPro around. I need flexibility. The seatbelt provides that.
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER cool I did the same but I took off the seatbelt and soaked it in water and it's been working fine. It's that dust that locks it up.
@@johnnyfercik2455 yes for sure.
Don’t care if you would or not
And I could give 2 shits if you care.
why any one want buy a cfmoto..
Well they aren't over priced, and come with more options. They look great. They are reliable and fit most people's budgets. Thank you
Why would they not want too? Polaris and can am aren't perfect either and much more expensive.
BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEST ,I CAN BUY 2 or 3 FOR THE SAME KINDA FUN AND THEY LAST JUST AS LONG AS THE NAME BRAND SHIT
Can't afford, Honda, Yamaha, Can Am, etc or don't want a big investment because none of them are a good investment 😂
Love our CF Moto
The 2022 Zforce 800 Trail is exactly what I want in a SxS, but did not want to buy until next year. Due to uncertainty of availability, unknown possible changes to 2023 models / lineup & definite price hikes, I bought one in August & stashed it in the garage. The only difference between the Canadian model vs U.S. model is factory turn signals & trailer plug. We have to buy & install separately if we want to make the machine street legal, which is my intent. I will be pulling a Bosski 800 trailer with lights. To make a machine street legal in Michigan, a separate parking brake is required. CFmoto has factory parking brake, I don't have to cobble one together. It's blue, my favorite color, I don't have to paint it 😁Price was not a factor in my decision, but the Zforce is the lowest price machine, with more factory added stuff than other brands. Even though I haven't driven it, my suggestion for one aftermarket item would be Bandit springs. I bought the heavy rate design since I will be loaded with gear. I easily got 2 inches of lift just installing the springs, using youtuber NMKawierider settings as a starting point. He runs the website cfmoto-forum (.com), a gathering place for CFMoto owners. He is a personal library of knowledge for CFMoto stuff, in addition to Roland & RNG Performance.
Haha thanks! Which machine did you buy and stick away in the garage? I'll have to check out the Bosski 800 trailer you mention.
@@FANATICALSIDERIDER Welcome 🙂 I have the 800 Trail. I wanted a 50" machine to be able to get to more remote places. I will change the tires on the trailer to something more durable. I've been playing with Gaiagps, attempting to kinda re-create an overlanding route a Canadian couple took on ATV's back in 2007, a video of which was uploaded back in 2012. ua-cam.com/video/G4-JH0Z7x4E/v-deo.html Unfortunately they recently took the website down 😔 Fortunately I downloaded all the photos of the route tracks.
