I bought one of these back in 2014 which I believe was the first time dirt trax reviewed it? Anyway, it's still going, still solid. Has a wet clutch so I'm not burning through belts like my Rzr and Maverick owning friends (still has OEM belt). Sure it's not as fast but I'm not racing either. Some details here and there like the shocks rubbing the springs on the earlier models like mine. But it's held up over the past few years and I'm happy with the purchase.
A decent machine for those who want to play more then work the machine. It would be too small for me so I would be more inclined to use something like a Mahindra 750 mPact XTV or the diesel model. I've sat in one and looked at the features and thought it would be more suitable for my needs. A Side by Side would be more practical with a cab for as much year round use as possible. Heat would be more important then air conditioning.
I'm looking at a 2020 at my local dealer now. I've been watching reviews for the last couple years and for the most part people seem to really like them now. I'm seeing more and more on the trails also. The z800 ex 60" is 12490 out the door, I could get a stripped down rzr 900s for about 1500 more but by the time you get a roof, winch , bumpers and stuff your another 1800 bucks in. I know the rzr has a little more speed but in my area its tighter trails where 40 45 is screaming. Think I'm going to pull the trigger
Are parts readily available ? with the great price and big list of options are great , but if having to maintain something with parts are limited would be a downer . Cheers
Hey I got me a zforce 800 and I was wandering I recognized the white letter cf Moto on top of the roof and I was wandering how did u do that did u paint it or what did u do because that’s what I want to do to mine! Can u please reply back I appreciate it a lot take ur time thanks!
In the name of competition. Between it and the Arctic cat. Isn't the rzr 900 in this machines class.?? 50" wide 75 hp sounds higher 60hp. Or am I wrong?
To me there is a huge difference between assembled in China, and assembled in the usa or Canada or Japan with some chinese parts. I did go look at one and thought it was a decent enough vehicle but I ultimately bought a Can-AM.
In 2018, Made in USA is more identified with shitty quality than Made in China imo, depending on what you are buying.. I.e. I've got all Whirlpool Appliances (Made in USA) and I've had 2 recalls and 3 warranty issues in the first year of owning them. I've got Maytag Dryer/Washers (made in china) that were 10 years old still running, never 1 issue. Imo, country of origin, is more a nationalism/patriotism issue these days than a quality issue. I do want to support my countries internal economy, but when it comes to me dropping $25,000 vs $12,000 on a brand new SxS, I'm probably going to a cfmoto...
What ever you do dont drive over 5,000km befor your 5 years is up or your warranty is void i found that out after i only had mine 2 years and 3 years of nuthin mine is a 2015 zforce all rail beds driving
Tommy Boy Desert Valley Powersports Sales haha thats still only good for 5000km in Canada i had the extended warranty and cfmoto still says 5000 km is as far as they go
Any competition is competition. A 60" class. (Stand corrected some I just rewatched) and over 60hp. Is a direct description of a RZR 900 s eps. Which is a 75 hp Machine. And cost shouldn't be a factor in ruling it out if it's competition. Whether it's $500 or $5,000. It's still competition
DuramaxDriven i mean i kinda see your point but you say cost isnt a factor but thats like comparing a Mercedes-Benz S-Class to a ford focus and saying well their both 4 door sedans and the same customers consider both of those cars as competition.
joshsorenson22 if it's a comparison of competition. A zl1 1le camaro competes with Porsches 911. If $56000 Camaros compete with $200000 Porsches why is that allowed comparison but a RZR vs cfmoto isnt
Because man the same people who can afford a Camero and are willing to buy one arent the same people who can afford to buy that Porsche or are willing to. Im not saying your wrong im just saying i think the price point is pretty important to customers. Like i would buy one of these but not a rzr turbo or maverick because 10k vs 20k plus means i cant justify or afford those more expensive machines so to me they arent even considered to me the customer.
joshsorenson22 than why is the Arctic cat considered when he says it's a comparible machine. Yet Arctic cat is also expensive. A RZR 900 eps is $14500 ish.
The sticker price looks appealing, but take it from me I work on them at a dealership that sells them and they are Always in the shop getting fixed. If I had a family member ask if they should buy one my Answer would be NO!
For what kind of issues? I don't really trust any of them, my sportsman nuked the front diff at 100 miles and just outside of the 6m warranty, that was fun lol.
#SMH First video I've ever disliked.... Plenty of 60" SXS on the market to compare it too... Artic Cat is a 700cc! So tell me why that's the only one to compare it too? RZR has 900s & Maverick has 60" model... Only want to compare it to a smaller & cheaper machine? I get that but its not the "only" competition on the market... It is the cheapest & I'm sure you get what you pay for...
I think Luke was speaking to HP comparison as the Can Am and Polaris 60"ers are pushing almost 25% more HP. Yes they could be considered competition if you go by width but I believe he's referring to HP as the categorization. It's hard nowadays to really pick class when we have so many reference points. It used to be strictly engine displacement, then it was displacement and width, now we really have to look at HP and Width as it's so dramatically different. Actually this seems like a good story topic to discuss.... maybe I'll do that.... ~AJ
@AJ... The market is definitely flooded with SXS to choose from nowadays. I think that would be a great story topic to discuss, with so many new riders buying machings they maybe comparing apples to oranges. I always look forward to seeing your new videos. You guys have one of the better pages to watch. I'm definitely can't wait to see that Can Am Outlander mud bike in action!!!
I can't get over the Poor Cargo load and TOWING.. I am 240 lbs..Add my passenger, Add a Canoe Rack, gear, Chain saw, box in the back Extra Gas. I'm at that 550 LBS capacity pretty Quick. I think that all these Side by sides.. should have at least a 1000 lbs min towing. My Family bought a 17 Yamaha Wolverine LE and it handles all that plus good towing, good shocks and less price then the CF Moto in my area. It was 2000 less...Thats ALOT!!
otahu Rice it’s because the Wolverine is a sport utility SBS. The Zforce is sport only. The Uforce is their utility line. They don’t have a sport-utility line yet.
spend the money on a rzr. I had the cfmoto 800ex for 3 months 180 miles and rolled it at 20-25 mph. only rolled 11/2 times and it is totaled. I am shoping for a rzr 900s now. you get what you pay for.
Chinese junk. That is why it's so dang cheap. Just because dirttrax says it's good don't mean it is, that just means the company paid them enough to say that.
Junk? Ever hear of BMW, Mercury Marine, Honda Marine, Arctic Cat, Kawasaki, Vespa? These and many other manufacturers have many of their motors built in China by the same companies. The rest of the components are off the shelf. I also own a CSC 250 motorcycle from China and it, too is an unbeatable value and trouble-free. PS. My local CF Moto dealer is jammed repairing RZR's but not CF Moto's. Here in the rocks of Arizona you break RZR shafts all the time.
It Hass to be more reliable than my 1000 Polaris it spends more time in the shop than it does on the trail biggest piece of shit I have ever owned I am looking at the 1000 CF Moto now and by the way 80% of Harley Davison parts or made in China LOL
I have a 2015 Zforce 800 53'' and i can tell you they are great machines i beat they crap out of it for almost 7000km and just changed the belt only because the top speed dropped from 120 down to about 95 km/h .No major issues other then wheel bearings and brakes wearing out .I did blow the front diff 2000km ago but it was a driver abuse issue and only cost me $70 for two spider gears and a center pin ...You can get a lemon in any brand but i don't speed near as much time broke down as the canned hams ,yammys n hondont's i run with
I have a 2017 CFMOTO ZForce 800 EX that had the motor rebuilt at 400 miles under warranty. After 200 additional miles the machine is locked up. Dealer and CFMoto tell me I am out of luck and out of 12k on this piece of junk. I would avoid CFMoto at all costs.
I bought one of these back in 2014 which I believe was the first time dirt trax reviewed it? Anyway, it's still going, still solid.

Bought an 800, love it, plenty of room and power, quite smooth over bumps.
NICE VÍDEO 😊😋✌️✨❤️
A decent machine for those who want to play more then work the machine. It would be too small for me so I would be more inclined to use something like a Mahindra 750 mPact XTV or the diesel model. I've sat in one and looked at the features and thought it would be more suitable for my needs. A Side by Side would be more practical with a cab for as much year round use as possible. Heat would be more important then air conditioning.
Are you guys going to review the ZForce 1000 I'm really curious in cfmoto's 1000 sxs and atv
To be fair can am's maverick trail 800 only makes 51 hp so 63 in the cf moto is pretty good for an 800.
Can you do a review on the zforce 800 trail?
I'm looking at a 2020 at my local dealer now. I've been watching reviews for the last couple years and for the most part people seem to really like them now. I'm seeing more and more on the trails also. The z800 ex 60" is 12490 out the door, I could get a stripped down rzr 900s for about 1500 more but by the time you get a roof, winch , bumpers and stuff your another 1800 bucks in. I know the rzr has a little more speed but in my area its tighter trails where 40 45 is screaming. Think I'm going to pull the trigger
If you're comfortable with your dealer and feel like he will help you out post-purchase if there are any warranty issues, then go for it!
Seriously looking at them...huge dealer only 5 miles from me and owner is a buddy...plus that 5 year warranty stands out...
Are parts readily available ? with the great price and big list of options are great , but if having to maintain something with parts are limited would be a downer . Cheers
Same Trunk as a can am maverick trail 800?
Hii. I have zforce 800 ex.. Will you help me is there any way I can recharge my pike battery without removing it from it's place.. Thanks
Did you have to do the vales part way through the race?
I'm kind of digging this thing..
Hey I got me a zforce 800 and I was wandering I recognized the white letter cf Moto on top of the roof and I was wandering how did u do that did u paint it or what did u do because that’s what I want to do to mine! Can u please reply back I appreciate it a lot take ur time thanks!
In the name of competition. Between it and the Arctic cat. Isn't the rzr 900 in this machines class.?? 50" wide 75 hp sounds higher 60hp. Or am I wrong?
DuramaxDriven It kind of is, don't forget the $5000 difference though and this comes with a 5 year warranty.
The rzr 900 has rear trailing arm suspension, and at least 90 hp, so it’s not in the same class!
@@cfmotoz8626 75 HP
Rzr 900 trail has. 75 horse power. Xp900 has 90
I would buy one if it came with a 5 year service plan. But i live in us and we only get a 1 year i dont understand wth
john colosio we have far less people here. They have to try harder to steal customers away from the others.
Well.....u missed the canam release
I've got a dealer less than 5 miles from my house and I've never stopped in. I just can't get over that made in China stamp.
I'm thinking of buying one because I can't get over a 5 year warranty
You do realize that all other SXS's are pretty much Chinese too...parts, electronics, etc.
To me there is a huge difference between assembled in China, and assembled in the usa or Canada or Japan with some chinese parts. I did go look at one and thought it was a decent enough vehicle but I ultimately bought a Can-AM.

Tommy Boy Desert Valley Powersports Sales haha thats still only good for 5000km in Canada i had the extended warranty and cfmoto still says 5000 km is as far as they go
I own a 2016 zforce 800. Does these units can be used to jump like the ones of the video? or the ones of the video have modified suspension?
Can you can test cforce 800 face-lift. .? please
Andone Nicu I can for a fair price
How much does this cost
Any competition is competition. A 60" class. (Stand corrected some I just rewatched) and over 60hp. Is a direct description of a RZR 900 s eps. Which is a 75 hp Machine. And cost shouldn't be a factor in ruling it out if it's competition. Whether it's $500 or $5,000. It's still competition
DuramaxDriven i mean i kinda see your point but you say cost isnt a factor but thats like comparing a Mercedes-Benz S-Class to a ford focus and saying well their both 4 door sedans and the same customers consider both of those cars as competition.

joshsorenson22 than why is the Arctic cat considered when he says it's a comparible machine. Yet Arctic cat is also expensive. A RZR 900 eps is $14500 ish.
And technically said Arctic cat is only $200 cheaper
What about the rzr 900s and 1000s they are also direct competition?
Henrik Oppermann Probably wouldn't be fair because rzr have more hp but I'm not sure lol
Prolly not the same price point since polaris cost a ton
Civilized Delinquent hes taking about the rzr 1000 xp
Isaac Mayle Luke states right in the video, Arctic is it's only competitor but they cost more
Do they offer a 4 seater?
The sticker price looks appealing, but take it from me I work on them at a dealership that sells them and they are Always in the shop getting fixed. If I had a family member ask if they should buy one my Answer would be NO!
For what kind of issues? I don't really trust any of them, my sportsman nuked the front diff at 100 miles and just outside of the 6m warranty, that was fun lol.
I cant believe this thing is only $9,000 brand new, What the hell? How is it that cheap.
It's from China, but it is good quality
Is it fast enough to keep you happy ? I'm a big guy. I'm afraid ot won't be enough if I get it. But the price is right
Id rather see a more stripped down base model. The 500cc non-eps version would be a lot less expensive.
How much is one though
Top speed?
Why does the top end of their engine look exactly like canam's? Am I only only one to notice this?
Because the Chinese are terrible at designing new products, its just easier to reverse engineer and copy someones elses designs
Looks good but looks like a knock off rzr too in a way
I looking to buy an really good buggy which would be a 4 seater is an Polaris rzr 1000 turbo good choice ?
Would not have an issue buying one. More likely a CForce.
Jolie machine

sounds more like drivings skills than product quality
I got one and they're made out of cheap shit plastics. always breaking, cracking and they say that it's made for winter like wtf
You still have it?
Chinese junk. That is why it's so dang cheap. Just because dirttrax says it's good don't mean it is, that just means the company paid them enough to say that.
Wow a whopping 300km. My 2013 RZR 800 S has almost 2,000 miles and still runs strong with no issues at all.
Nope. Mines ran great. only stuff that has gone on there is aftermarket upgrades. I do everything with mine from farmwork to trails.
Junk? Ever hear of BMW, Mercury Marine, Honda Marine, Arctic Cat, Kawasaki, Vespa? These and many other manufacturers have many of their motors built in China by the same companies.

Extra cramped, no thanks, get a razor folks.
I am good you will need that extra room to wiggle out when your razor catches on fire.
