Side by side quick overview CFMoto U-Force 1000XL vs Can-Am Defender HD10XT 

Awesome to hear! We have been a dealer for 7 years, have sold thousands of CF units all over and have very little issues and VERY few warranty claims. They have been a great company to work with. The vehicles have been jumping in leaps and bounds in quality, fit and finish over the last few years. Glad you love yours!

@@HesterEdition only downside which I’m sure all models are like this is the heat. Super rough in summer with front window and rear. Wish I would have went the flip out way.

Awesome to hear!

@@HesterEdition CF Moto just built a new manufacturing plant in Mexico. This should help with speeding up production and getting units out to dealerships . I think they really are after a share of the USA market.

@@ariesnc6320 AND should help with freight charges, they do tack on more fees for the freighter ships. At least we hope it does, but yes should help with keeping up with product. Logistics on the 1000XL is tough, maybe they will crate them up now, as they come now they are squashed and roll off the truck, and no way to stack them or unload with a forklift. Only time will tell!

@@HesterEdition it shows they are serious about establishing themselves here in North Merica. If quality control stays up, could be interesting in the coming years. Especially with dealers having to charge less fees.

What about the space for the legs???

Lots of people are brand loyal. Nothing wrong with the Defenders, they do make a good product, but I have to agree, that is A LOT of gravy! Now if CF would make a "CAB" set up right from the factory with the HVAC, bet it would be over 10 grand less, that would be an awesome seller if you ask me. People are getting more and more spoiled lol

Drive one and you'll realize the difference immediately. Then ask a certified side by side mechanic. Bottom line: Cheap isn't good and good isn't cheap. I researched every 2 door model on the market, top to bottom for a period of 3 months. I selected the Can Am HD9 XT. The UForce didn't make the top 5.

@@squirreltalesoverland5825 funny I've been researching them for well over a year, for me makes top 5 easy. I haven't driven one yet but every forum every site I've been to says they're not bad machines. No more or no less better than Polaris or canam. Non of these three imo compare in reliability to HONDA.

I just bought the 1000xl and I tell ya, generally a polaris canam dide but samn i really get a lot and rhe quality is quite impressive. There are some things I dont like such as the small dealer network. The machine itself tho stands alone.

I’m sure the can am has better support for weird aftermarket add ons… by far not a deal maker, but, i could see that being something the guy who CAN afford the extra canam, can probably afford to gingerbread it all up.

@BrixtenHolm they are both rated at 2500lbs towing. Power is almost equal, they should each have more than ample towing capabilities. Both have a bed capacity of 1000lbs as well. Thank you for watching!

Give the store a call and they can go over a build for you! Tuesday-Saturdays (575) 445-3558 Thank you!

Accurate turning radius on the Ranger 1000's single bench is 14.5' (as tested) and crew 6 seater is 35.7' (as tested) by UTV action. So the single bench and dual bench XL from CFMoto is within a foot of radius of the Polaris Ranger in TURF mode. Hope that helps. The 6 seater (dual bench) is the Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT at 16'

Agreed, and CFMoto is jumping in leaps and bounds on every new generation, they are not sitting around and giving a "new body" every few years. This keep up we'll see RZR killers for 20k in a few years lol

@BrixtenHolm we tried to get the owner of the Defender to let us run the 2 but he did not want to, mentioned that in the video, he barely gave us time to set them side by side to do this video, we would love to do more in depth if we can get our hands on a unit to do so. This video basically covers the side by side differences and specs I could ring off in the little time we had. Thank you for watching!

Going to drop in the next week or so. Just finished final testing and they are ready to order on the 1000XL!

Defender 64", CFMoto 63.5". So only a 1/2"

My bad, You are absolutely correct, I looked up on the HD10 on the site and they listed 65HP, then in small print (HD9) and 82 HD10. So yes, you are correct. The Can-Am has 82, I will have to edit the video on that, my bad.

@@HesterEdition No problem keep the good content coming.

@@undeadbubba_3192 Thank you, and thank you for catching that for me, I'm so overwhelmed I am making mistakes, but will more then happily accept and change it :) I updated the info and the video. And the main reason I say 80 on the CF, on the MSO it states 79.7hp, so just rounded to the closest :)

You get a way better deal with CFMoto! I have owned a Can Am and I equally like them both.

It has been rough across the board for all manufacturers for sure.

I could be wrong but I dont think they do at this time. Going fully enclosed with heat and ac puts you around the 35k mark for the "name brand" guys so would definitely be neat to see the price for that setup on a cf moto.

Just bought a normal UFORCE 1000, it has full doors, front and rear windshield, and heated seats right from the dealer. I did not have the option for heat or ac

Heater yes, the cab doors are not out yet, but give a little time and the will, us aftermarket will alo be building cabs, such as DFK and I would bet Super ATV will male doors too in time. This unit is new to the US market, only hit the US about a month ago or so

You can't afford it

as far as outright performance the U-Force has impressive torque and get up and go, the owner of the Defender would not let us run them so I can no prove which is faster. I will say the throttling of the defender BOX STOCK, is much smoother but feels disconnected, as in you punch it and then you feel the throttle servo's opening up a couple seconds later. I get why they do it and it's all about use of power, and the uforce is very snappy and we do a lot of clutch kits to ton down the snappiness. Once again bone stock the ride quality win would be the defender, but it's not THAT much better, just add a set of our Hester Edition Elkas to the U-Force with the vast amount of savings and hands down the U-Force is in another world of ride quuality over the Defender, till you add our Shocks to the defender lol. It is a kind of back and forth battle, neither one wins hands down over the other, it's little battle wins back and forth, but when you lay your hard earned money, that is a HUGE chunk in price tag, and you can build one SUPER nice U-Force for a box stock XT Defender. And with good maintenance on either one, they will last thousands of miles and years of service. I really wish I could have done a FULL review and shown the driving, performance and talk about the throttle more.

Tell them to make sure to have the drivers seat belt on, and if they were in difflock there is a speed governor, there is an override on the dash. Diff lock only needed in the most extreme situations, regular 4x4 will take care of the vast majority of situations. Tell him do the same hill out of diff lock, make sure drivers seat belt attached and the parking brake off. Cheers!

It s a 2021 in for service.

The front end and gage cluster are wrong for a 2021. That’s Also a pre 20’ XT grill guard.

@@texasdad8031 Customer told us 2021 (shrugs). I was giving price differences on a 2022, but the just in there for the comparison because Can am never changed the frame or drive train, mostly cosmetic and few little update here and there. But the prices are 2022 vs 2022, size and everything same.

My point I’m trying to make is you’re comparing machines of different years and if you actually had two 22”s to compare, they would have more similarities because can am has changed quite a few things in 22.

@@texasdad8031 I understand, it is all we had so wanted to at least give a side by side of them. Thank you for keeping us up to date.

We all know the oldies are the goodies, but in this modern push button age, we will never see any of that again I'm afraid. BUT, I will say, in a hard core Ranching area around us, a vast majority are brutalized ranch use, and I can say (hand to GOD) Out of the thousands of CF Motos we sold, and tens of thousands of miles of ranch abuse and POOR maintenance, I can count with 1 finger, how many machines we ever had an issue with a 4wd unit. Not saying nothing will ever go wrong, but I am saying, they are dang reliable, and they keep making them better.

Look at the Mahindra Roxer it's as simple and basic as they come even has a standard transmission

A sad reality for many many products these days, phones, shoes, clothes, most tech devices etc. Let's not forget the horrific way cobalt for batteries in said devices and cars are made. This us westerners take for granted.

Like Ford, Chevy, and dodge guys, each have their own opinion. Glad you love and are happy with your can am. 👍

Most Can Am barely make it to 5 years. Hardly ever see old one's on the trail. I live in northern Ontario and we live on our machines. Don't get me wrong they're great machines when they're new plenty of power but they don't hold up more like blow up.

@@bigjay6743 buddy of mine has a can am 4wheeler with 18k miles on. Most folks will never sit a machine that much in their entire life. Timing for this comment is unfortunate though, at the dealership picking up some tire chains and talked to a guy with a cf uforce he's got 2500 miles on his works out of it and it's turned into a rattle box that's slowly falling apart. He had it in the shop 3 times in 2 months and he loves it still. All of the machines break just matters to me how long until that time.

@@HesterEdition it's more like comparing a Landover to a Hyundai honestly.

@@justin2953 And we ALL know that legendary land rover reliability ;)
