My son In law and I went in together and bought a CF moto 800utv. we love it I have pulled our little aluminum boat and trailer down to the lake thru the bush trail. We have moved gravel brush and rocks. it works well. Love the fact it has signals and a horn. great little work horse, we are sold. All have a good product my friend has a defender, and it has its advantages too. We liked the price.
They are both great machines. My friend has a u-force 1000 with full hard cab and heat. He kept up with a defender and Honda pioneer with no issue and he seems very pleased with the machine. He was going to buy a used defender but went with the brand new u-force . Price point , 5 year warranty and similar handling to the defender helped in his choice.
I just bought a defender limited. It's nice compared to my ranger. Better suspension. The rest can't compare cause very different machines, 570eps.ive been watching Cfmoto, fit quite a few y years now, and am impressed how far they've come in a short while,. Think Honda back in the eighties. Imho Polaris and Canam are and will lose market share to them. If this was on the market when I bought my Defender 3 months ago i'd have given it a hard look as yah, that eight k in savings is a lot of parts repairs. Nice comparisons cheers.
@nbatvforum Personally, I think it's a very nicely styled vehicle, inside and out. Same with the Z10. I'm looking forward to seeing one in person, too.
Bang on review, not sold on the reliability/durability of the CF motos just yet but with that warranty and the nice extras it has for that price, its a value machine for sure!!!
With a good dealer I would buy the CFMoto for sure over the CanAm. With taxes you’re talking close to $10k difference and the CFMoto is better equipped.
@garybrown9062 those are the horror stories you keep hearing. A small part breaks, can take a month for dealers in Canada to get it from cfmoto. That is what is lacking, inventory of parts vs other brands. They all breakdown, it comes to how quick you can get back on the trails.
I hear that CF Moto you force is a good machine over the years I've been using Can-Am defenders and they have been a 100% reliable and good to me I keep thinking about getting a CF Moto you force but I'm always nervous on trying a new brand
@petewilson8727 I completely understand. Switching from a brand that has been good to you can feel like a bit of a gamble. Good luck with your decision. If you end up buying a CFMOTO, put a message here to let us know how you like it.
I am not sold on cfmoto at all. I’ve had the opportunity to drive one a very short distance and it felt cheap compared to my defender. I truly believe that if you had them both side by side and went for a trail ride you would hear and feel the difference. However can am should be adding the stereo in all cab models for the price as well as an up to date touch screen.
@CJP63 I'm curious did you ride a new CFMOTO or was it an older one? I had a few friends that had a few CFMOTO Zforce 500 machines back in 2017, and they were garbage. Both of them had blown engines, suspension problems, and electrical issues. Luckily, just about everything was covered under warranty. They sold them, and one guy bought a Commander, and the other bought a Maverick. They still have them. Another friend of mine bought a ZForce 1000 in 2018, and it has been pretty much bulletproof. I have seen some of the newer CFMOTO machines from about 2021, and up seem to be pretty durable. Hopefully I'll get the chance to take one for a ride and see how they feel.
@ it was a 2022 with 2000 km on it. Having said that if you watch ostacruiser’s onion lake trips the guide has one and beats the living crap out of it.
The UFORCE is considerably less expensive, but will it hold up? Leave a comment below. Would you buy the UFORCE?

Great comparison of features and prices. I can't wait to see rhe new u10 in person. They did a great job. Also looking at rhe z10

Good comparison. Can't wait to get highland to usa.

Forget the stereo, built in GPS. So now I have to spend another grand just fit that. P.olaris and Canam better watch out.
Can am every time
I just sold 2 Defender limited under 30k
So I don’t know where 40k comes from
Just sold a Limited Max today for 33k
Are you in the US?
Has it come out in canada yet?
Yes, for sale now.
@EastCoastATV oh wow I'm in the USA and no one can tell me when. I guess I cant bring one over the border lol
Nice video I have a Polaris XP 1000 and I'm not disappointed wish there was a way to send you pictures
A buddy of mine has one of those too. He loves it. It has suspension for days. I'm glad to hear you like yours. Thanks for posting!
How can u compare if uforce 10 hasn't even hit the American market?
Perhaps you should watch the video and find out.
A 1” larger tire only gives you 0.5” in height btw
@TheLeblancGroup In my experience it depends on the tires you are comparing. Some are true to size and many are not.
Correct. Everyone believes going up 1inch in size raises it 1inch when it's half like you said. Gotta calculate the circumference.
CF Moto is banned from US sales starting in 2027. Do not buy one.
I believe only models that are capable of tracking and storing data will be banned.
Cant get those features in the usa😂
I noticed that when I checked their website. Weird. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they'll be there too.
