NewlyMinted Report post Posted December 4, 2019 Has anyone ridden in, or had experience with the CFMoto Zforce 500 trail side by side? I'm just looking for something to explore the trails on in the southern units, and wondering about how well it does up those rocky steep inclines and along trails that cross washes and draws. Not looking for speed or any dune play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewlyMinted Report post Posted December 14, 2019 I didn't have the budget for a honda/ Kawasaki/ etc. etc.used machine, so ended up with the CFMoto and snagged a 2016 500 ZForce Trail for ~$5K with 401 mi on it. They guy was retired used it to hunt in gardner canyon, but a knee replacement stopped him from wanting to venture out and he wanted to buy a boat to fish. Taking it out this weekend ... Here's a bit about the company from an industry rag: https://utvactionmag.com/cfmoto-zforce-800ex-4x4/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CatfishKev Report post Posted December 17, 2019 The Chinese machines aren't a bad option. You can get parts for them pretty easily now. I have a Roketa gx 250 buggy that's pretty cool. I ordered some upgrades for it awhile back that I haven't had time to put on yet but it goes pretty good. For what it's worth check out my post "hunting rigs for sale". I got a lifted dodge dakota with 33s that's a killer offroad truck. And it had ac and heat. Let us know what you think of the machine once you drive it.
