Full REVIEW: 2018 CFMOTO ZFORCE 1000 

Love my CF moto Z800 super tough year's of driving hard and no prob's, now got CF moto Z1000 OMG loving it .

This sounded more like a promotional video than a review.

You guys should really do a 1000mile update review

A lot of what you see on this 1k is optional equipment. The elka shocks you can get but it’s not standard. Same with the windshield, light bar, slip on exhaust and 4 point harness. You still get a ton of features. And for those who say the ride is kinda rough stock, you can swap on Polaris rzr or arctic cat springs and it glides👌🏼

I love my CF Moto I just bought my Z force back last spring and yes it be a Chinese even the day that I purchased it and I wrote out the check and yes I paid cash it was hard to swallow but with 3 to 4 years doing research on the company let alone the RU-vid videos I saw of how they got abused in Russia I went for it and I’m extremely happy and here in the US the warranty is not quite giving but for around $1100 more I got a five year unlimited mileage hundred dollar deductible bumper to bumper extended warranty to me that’s money well worth spent Even if I never have to use it which I probably well and anybody that’s in motorsports knows a grand can get sucked up pretty quickly

I have a 2017 800ex eps. I have about every accessory you can get to go on it and I still have less in it than it would have cost me to buy a 900s rzr. I ride with a large group that all have rzr's. We ride all over East Tn and Ky. We ride all the black trails and do a ton of rock crawling. My machine has earned the respect of everyone I've rode with, and I'm yet to be towed out of the woods. I do not abuse my machine but it does get rode hard. If u maintain it, it will last. They reason I bought a Cfmoto was the amount of machine you get for your money, build quality, I didn't want to be another rzr floozy, and I got tired of waiting on Honda. I would buy another Cfmoto tomorrow. If the dealer network was better, and they advertised more, it would help.

3:53 is that passenger seat even bolted down lol Really tho, this looks like a sweet machine.

I love my zforce 1000! Hangs great with the polaris rzr 900s all day long! The lockers are amazing!

Gotta find a dealer network now. Good luck. You pronounce Hyundai the same as Sunday my dealer corrected me. Love this machine a lot. Actually on for sale in Minocqua wi on the side of the road.

Can you do a small bore shootout with Honda Fourtrax 250 , Suzuki Ozark 250 , Yamaha Grizzly 350(2wd) , Kawasaki Brute Force 300 ? That would be awesome !

Great review. Thanks. Wasn't even interested in the force...going to check it out now.

You should do a z force 800 Ex vs a wildcat sport 700 comparison or 800 trail against the 700 trail

When are you gonna do a review of the 950 sport???????????????

They are going to be the Toyota of Side by Sides and ATV's lol

Should test the X8 atv 850

Very nice review. You actually helped influence my decision to buy a 2019 Zforce 1000 and it's definitely living up to my expectations in almost every department with the exception of one. When I was test driving at the dealer the sales person showed me how to shift into and out of 4 wheel drive while moving. It worked just fine and I did the same thing on our first few rides, also with no problems, clunking or noises. I was reading through the manual today and see that you are supposed to be stopped while shifting into and out of 4WD! What a huge blunder in engineering in my opinion. I was wondering if you guys shifted on the fly or did you stop every time to engaged 4WD? Thanks.

They rly stepped up there game but in my opinion it could look better

Why does it look like the passenger seat moves around so much when viewing it from the rear camera? Looks like it's fully suspended

I want that UTV..

It is my understanding that CF Moto measures they're horsepower at the rear wheel. It could be a game changer if true

In today's market 80 HP is off by at least 20 on any 1000, my 800 zforce at 61hp and is just to sluggish and slow. All the trinkets mean little when you can't keep up with your friends, just saying

Just got a 1000, the rear diff case has cracked on the driver side twice from light trail riding. The original, then the dealer replacement after 10 miles up fire roads to get to the trails and about 1 mile on the trails.

Like my c.f. motor z force 500 .although not as smooth as my son's rzr..

Rzr 900s add a few bolt ons, and a power vision CX. Would be money ahead with about 12 more horsepower.

Could you do a review on a 2018 Polaris 450 H.O

So funny some of the comments. I have 800 ex zforce zero problems. I change oil , hit the zerts with grease , clean air filter every ride or two. ( uni ast6229ast ) which i put on day one. And i have had zero problems. Some like dodge , some like ford etc. Is what im getting from some comments. I highly recommend cfmoto.

Very nice video. What is your opinion of my US 800 trail? Why do you think they changed the rear shocks on my rig?

did he say its made in china? i thaught it was made in canda

I have one and they are awesome machines!!

Z force 950 sport review!!!!

Would I be able to put on a stereo system?

My 1000 z force runs great but I did have one problem the exhaust got red hot dealer said it was a fouled plug but it was more then that it was under warranty so I got it fixed any one else have a problem like that ?

Has cfmoto fixed the catching on fire/ smoking problem/ electronic problems with there atv yet? Cuz I’ve seen a few vids of people with them having those problems but those were on the old year models

I really hope its better then the cf moto z force 500 my son just bought this year seems every time he go's riding he has to get pulled home, Its so bad he parked it in the back yard and took the insurance off. And for every person we tell how bad his side by side is thy will tell there friends And CF Moto will not return his calls how is that for service, So before you buy this product talk to some one that has one,

Does the 2021 model come with elka shocks?

So, serious question. I will be able to afford a X3 RC in about 4 months. I've kinda just got my mind set on one. History on me. Used to race motocross. I own a H2 I off-road some. My street bike is a GSXR 1000. I've went 183mph on it. I've never ridden in a side by side. I just know that I want one. I'm 48, have a low grade luekemia and that I am going to buy one of these. Knowing me, I want a X3 RC. I will probably just be trail riding for the most part, however, trail riding to me is different than most people's idea of it. I'm pretty hard core when it comes to "toys". As far as I am concerned they only have two throttle positions, wide open or off. (Within reason). So, would I become bored with a CFmoto quickly, especially if I found people to ride with or, I think I know the answer, I need the X3 or it's equivalent. However, do you think that the cf would be good enough for me. Maybe knowing that I'm very introverted and prefer to keep to myself plays an issue? ( If I don't know better....... Thing. But, I'm going to want to drive what ever I buy harder than most guys in my league.) Your thoughts would be appreciated and taken as just that, your thoughts. Probably opening a can of worms here. Lol

Bad ass I love mine top speed 73 and that's no bull shit

They would have better warranties if they could rely on owners to service them regularly. They are tough as nails if you treat them right.

We need a dealer in Calgary Alberta

Is the motor smooth? I heard some of their motors vibrate a lot

cfm is a lot better than rzr I have 3900 miles no problems my friends rzr switch about 3 belts in 2700 miles and that junky four wheel drive setup.

i am very interested in why in the Land of Israel they have preferred to import the cf800 for several years, and not import the cf1000 In Eretz Israel there is one big importer who prefers to bring the Z800 because it is cheaper but the money it charges us customers is beyond the price paid for the vehicle worldwide. We in the Land of Israel pay more and receive less - too bad! Is it possible to treat this problem forever? I want to get what a customer gets in Canada in the US in Japan in Australia. Is there a written agreement of what the customer who buys this vehicle will receive? And where to go to complain about an unfair sale Thanks . This comment was translated by Google

I was looking at a utility version in the 500cc range. The local dealer wants 10K, absurd when there is 1. other Chinese brands in the 8-8+ range and 2. the same goes for name brand, I’m not sold on that I think some of this is just way too expensive.

Canadain models do not have the warranty they claim, I am fighting right now for a burnt clutch and belt with 100kms on it. Operators manual lays it all out, I get told for US models only!

Can I travel to Canada to buy this and come back to the US?

no dealer in CALGARY :-(

But what they dont tell you is 5 year or 5,000km

I still buy polaris..maybe in decade ill look into a new brand

Neat, but I would spend my money on a used modified rzr to fix up. These cost to much for what they are and for where I go I want something I trust.

I have a 2016 zforce. The machine is terrible. Had issues with the brakes,engine, and the fan. After these 3 isssues where fixed the engine blew. I got screwed around by cf moto. Was not till the better business bureau was involved that machine got fixed....10months later. Yes that is right. 1 st year of owning it, was at the dealership getting (fixed) for a total of 11months. Save your money, do not buy this product.

Paid for by CfMoto

$19,900 ??

Your gonna look real cute when I ride by in my Polaris RZR 4 Turbo S.

Wait until you go to sell this unit used. Drop like a rock.

As-soon-as someone purchases one and documents five years of hard abuse and several thousand miles is when I'll consider one of these. Looks compelling otherwise.

If they can get more hp then it would be the king

Looks like a 2012 rzr🙄

I was done when you said Chinese..

Out of curiosity why stg 3 elkas upfront and stg 4 in back instead of 3 or 4's all around? I'm looking to upgrade my shocks in a bit and was wondering what the benefit was to setting the machine up that way.

windshield is right in your sight line...ive driven one its a pain!

Only 11 inches of travel, no thanks.

Me and my brothers have 3 of these. Do yourself a favour and by the Polaris or Can Am.

i found this for 220$ nice

Elka shock nope I'm a pass

We

I prefer Can-Am i don't trust any Chinese made of this kind, suddently it is gone where to get parts and stuff then? Can-Am never dissapear and you can get part anywhere easy!

“Z-force” sounds like a sketcher shoe name

Won't make it to 1000 miles. This machine is great if your an 75 year old woman driving it like a golf cart. Push it like a Polaris or Honda it'll break, and good luck fixing it once it does.

These things are not as reliable as honda and polaris

Low resale value

Overpriced

The test vehicle in this video has many options that AJ says are standand..........well, they aren't. The roof, LED roof light, mid-height windshield and the Elka stage 3 and 4 shocks are all extra cost items. I have the 1000 and it leaks oil everywhere worse than a Harley Davidson. The build quality is reasonable, but nowhere near what you get with a BRP, Polaris, Yamaha, etc. These are dirty and extremely noisy machines and the shifting of the transmission is total garbage. My experience with my dealer has been horrible and repeated calls/emails to CF Moto have gone without reply. If you buy one, throw the owners manual they supply in the garbage. All they did was put a different cover on the 800 model manual which is a completely different engine and transmission. You can find the proper electronic version online.

Junk
