2023 CFMOTO ZFORCE 800 Trail G2 EPS Detailed UTV Overview

[@UTVonDemand]

Love how you guys always keep it real. Looks like they're getting better all the time.

[@wickedmainah950]

I've got a 21 950 and it's been a great machine..no issues . For the price very happy with it

[@dirttraxtv]

I'll be out with it this week to see how it rides. Excited to report back 👍

[@UTVonDemand]

@@dirttraxtv Looking forward to it!

[@mcrspeedemon]

Just bought one absolutely love it , had a cforce 600 for 3 years, wasn't sure about CFMOTO then but now die-hard CFMOTO fan, awesome machine highly recommended

[@dirttraxtv]

Got to ride it this week and I was impressed. They've gone to a whole new level with the quality of this unit.

[@EastCoastATV]

Good video Luke, I'll be interested to see a trail ride review as well. I see a lot of Maverick Sport styling cues, which isn't a bad thing. I love the aluminum wheels, and I wish all manufacturers included a roof, horn, and turn signals. There are more places allowing ATV's and SxS's on roads to get to trails, gas stations etc that make them very handy.

[@benmayhew373]

Hat's off to Cfmoto. Many Many important improvements. Gotta give them props.

[@thegodfreyspecial423]

I think they are getting very close to the domestic brands in quality and performance... but: the price is also getting closer.

[@Not_Andrew_Huberman]

Polaris? The only domestic one I can think of

[@concealit4800]

​@@Not_Andrew_Hubermanso ur saying they are getting close to the company leading the world in sxs and ATV sales wow that's impressive maybe I need to give this a look

[@concealit4800]

@user-qq4st5yz8e what I was trying to give away was that Polaris quality is good their sells point to this leading atv and sxs sales. An yes I admit they have issues but when u produce more u have a bigger chance of issues but overall machine used for its intended purpose ie trail riding working or leisurely riding Polaris hold up great.. It is only when people buy them dump them in a waist deep mudhole multiple times then complain about quality after the manual straight up says no more than 12 inches of water or mud submersion.. Hell even the most expensive brand canam that's not mud specific iv watched several friends get brand new bikes dunk them and the rear diffs nuke and they blow fuses wires burn up just self destuct after mudding them

[@austinblair2057]

I love the turn around with these comments vs the review on the original 800. Makes me glad that CF is finally getting some proper recognition. Keep up the great work.

[@michaelmiracle2259]

Honda ,yamaha and polaris better watch out cf moto coming after them super nice Machines a lot less money price is a big thing these days why pay 30's and 40 thousand dollar machine when you can get a cf moto for half the price

[@John-Keathley.]

Thanks for sharing this! Can’t wait for a review of it on the trail! Good looking machine!

[@jwyoungy]

You have the best reviews. It's clear you don't have an agenda and give your real honest opinion on the product. I have a cfmoto and enjoy watching videos but most videos are by fan boys or haters. I like when I see someone who knows what they are talking about, who can actually compare to other brands, letting us all know the truth as you see it

[@dirttraxtv]

Thanks Jamie! Appreciate the kind words 🙏

[@koreywhitaker6717]

Honestly Cfmoto has hit it out of the park with the Gen2 ZForce! Couple notes: The "flasher mode" switch you referred to is actually the reverse over ride. The storage compartment in front of the driver is water proof and has 2 usb ports. The storage compartment in front of the passenger is HUGE During your review of the switches you may have noticed the round cutouts...it's all ready for factory heat once the option is available. The seats are honestly some of the most comfortable stock seats on any SxS right now The interior is stunning in this vehicle. Don't overlook this if you're shopping for a new SxS. Also has an actual warranty. This trail has a 50" stance but if you go to the "sport" it comes with the 950cc, 60" stance, adjustable click shocks, full storage box and the doors have a bit more of a bulge outward to give just a little more shoulder and leg room.

[@GuardianGrove]

They certainly have come a LONG way! This thing is beautiful.

[@dirttraxtv]

Just got back from a ride. Really impressed with this machine.

[@BeatOnItGarage]

Cf Moto is really coming around. For the price you really can’t beat it as for an entry level sxs or if your just cruising around using it as a basic machine. I currently have a yxz but I’m definitely considering picking a cf up so the kids and wife can buzz around the property on it.

[@LonC1966]

I have a 2018 ZForce 800 trail. Have had no real issues. I really like the looks of mine. I think this is a major improvement cab and body wise. Also the intake moved out from underneath is good. I “snorkeled” mine at the suggestion of a shop and added an external filter box behind the roof. The 2018s would be very cramped for a taller person but it looks like they fixed that. Hopefully the gauges are dimmable in the 2023 because it sucks in the 18. Way too bright at night.

[@Scrum67]

That is a nice looking machine. Nice to see they are putting synthetic rope on the winch.

[@nickclay4730]

Saw one at the bar a couple weeks ago and I thought it looked really good. Was pleasantly surprised how nice the fit and finish was.

[@normanhaney583]

Hopefully we see a review on the 60" sport soon.

[@calebschmidt4508]

This is the machine I’ve been thinking about buying can’t wait to see the test drive and your thoughts!! 👍

[@denisbrisebois7658]

This SxS has some BRP styling queues off the Maverick Sport I find. Can’t wait for the on throttle review Luke !!!

[@Dreamscythe1]

ques? its an total copy with different plastics lol

[@andymacinnis]

Bought one 2 weeks ago. Love it.

[@chadfaulkner3600]

3 star utv makes a full cab enclosure. Includes various style front and rear windshield. You can also get them in various tints.

[@greggarland9815]

would love to see videos of how easily accessible things are for maintenance great job

[@wswerv1]

Great to see this video. I am seriously considering this model. Small enough I can either trailer it or haul in the back of my Tundra, small enough to use moose hunting too.

[@TwistedSXS]

CFMoto really stepping up there game. Wow. Can’t wait for your riding impressions!

[@dirttraxtv]

Stay tuned!!

[@TwistedSXS]

@@dirttraxtv absolutely!! Never miss an episode!

[@danbledsoe7582]

That switch that you said was a headlight flash is actually the power limit override for 4wd lock mode. Great video though.

[@williemaykit7940]

I’d be interested in the 950 sport. I’m a fan of the 60 inchers. These look pretty nice. My buddy has the ATV 2 seater 800 XC. It’s a good machine and nicely appointed.

[@markflaugh2293]

CF moto really seems to keep improving there machines.

[@JohnBaker189]

looks alot like my maverick sport!!! they should all come with a roof and full doors.

[@michelpicton8357]

Great content as always. Cf moto is great. Very affordable riding

[@tonylanders1196]

i bought a cfmoto zforce 800 trail g2 just 2 months ago, last march. and it did NOT come with sideview mirrors. nor did it come with turn signals, license plate holder and horn. So dont know whats going on with that. purchased in Phoenix AZ. 2nd time taking it out on trail the voltage regulator crapped out and left me with a dead battery in the middle of the desert that wouldnt take a jump nor run. But when it ran it was very nice. i added full front windshield, side view mirrors, hitch with spare tire attached, rear view mirror and led poles. putting in a sound system now. the roll bars do make it difficult tho to mount most systems out there because of the shape and bigger than 2 inches. When it starts to cool down here in Phx, around october will take it out again and hopfully will have no issues. CFMOTO is coming out with a dash mounted android screen that will work with various apps. when that hits is anyones guess.

[@dirttraxtv]

Machines are a bit different in Canada vs US.

[@ruyguy8888]

Can-AM Legal has entered the chat:

[@eraycer]

I went to buy one last year but I felt cramped and no place to put my knees, but after seeing you jump into that one it looks like they improved it.

[@dirttraxtv]

This redesign is quite a bit more spacious in the cab. Remember though, 50 inch wides are smaller stature vehicles to begin with.

[@martinanne2006]

Need to add to the warranty part, 1 year bumper to bumper , 5 year warranty but if you get 5000km within the 5 years the warranty stops

[@ISuckAtCOD1]

It's interesting. I honestly prefer the looks of my HO EX but it sounds like this body style will not be replacing the HO EX but it is replacing the body on the sport. And the power is increased to 85 I think.

[@tombledsoe8880]

Is it an optical illusion or are the rear wheels smaller?

[@toddulinski545]

Think the button is for the 4 wheel lock rev release. It only revs to like 5 grand unles you push the button. Its a safty feature

[@nmkawierider]

Thanks Luke.

[@johnstonejame]

My Polaris is full of Chinese parts so might as well get one of these

[@jadosa29]

The US website says 62hp so you were right on the money there.

[@ArcticExploring]

Really like the cool sticker on side with red on black

[@alannauss-zv4lq]

Really like the new body style hopefully you guys get your hands on one of the new 950 sport or trails for a test run.

[@dirttraxtv]

Yessss, really want to ride that machine.

[@JamesLangille-oi6pl]

hope u get the new zforce gen 2 950 sport for a ride and review soon

[@martstev21]

you always seem to get it wrong that switch is the override button

[@tazmanken01]

Says they have 62 horse power. Wish they would put the turn signals and horn on the American version.

[@braydenlowe2024]

Awesome video lots of great information!

[@dirttraxtv]

Thank you!!

[@mjuhanil]

Just picked up one of these and it's great with plenty of power. The one switch on the dash is reverse override

[@justinclark1891]

Any information about the accent light above the toggle switches? I’ve seen some posts on a cf MOTO group on Facebook but no real info… was just wondering if you knew anything about it

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

They have come a long way

[@daxmorlock7846]

The wheels aren't terrible but they're directional. Which would be fine if they came right side left side. If it were a Jeep those doors would definitely be half doors. I liked the older model so this one just makes me like them more.

[@patboatwright8085]

I am curious if they will try to compete with the general

[@ernieferguson9513]

Does Amazon offer free shipping on these?

[@earlfletcher4814]

I like it a lot but really wish it had a dump box instead of the cargo box

[@johno8817]

Hard to believe you said it was nice to see the parking brake removed, the one item most people complain about missing.

[@dirttraxtv]

I think you're generalizing...

[@alwardd]

good video in general, not all the info is accurate though. The switch in the dash is not a headlight flasher it is a by pass for the rev. limiter should you run out of power on a hill for instance. Only the those sold in canada come with mirrors and turn signals. In the usa we have to buy all that extra.

[@FOGELL_TheGreat]

I see Midcity motorsports on the side is that unit from Sudbury;)

[@POHLHAMMER]

Definitely moving in the right direction style wise. Good to see CFM Moto bringing some great budget minded competition. Nice review 👍

[@LouisFarraconn]

Are the turn signals stock on the USA model?

[@joeyholthusen6495]

I'm thinking about getting a utv, something different. Because I live in between arctic cat and Polaris. Why not a cfmoto?

[@michaeltalcott8437]

Where are you located? I purchased a 2023 CFMoto ZForce 800 Trail a month ago and it did not come with turn signals , mirrors ot a hith in the receiver.

[@dirttraxtv]

We are in Ontario Canada. This unit was provided to us from CFMOTO Canada.

[@hoffmanj311]

Mine did not come with mirrors or license plate mount and light. Those aren’t standard

[@chadfaulkner3600]

Inferno makes a in cab heater for this.

[@dantanti9191]

Great job brp Looks like a maverick trail

[@samwoods7545]

Will it fit in a regular truck bed

[@philipphilip2174]

Did you drink 10 red bulls before you did this review?

[@robertsanborn1056]

I do think the trail is a good looking sxs ,but would never buy a trail unit. we are buying a 2023 zforce 950 sport G2 60'' unit

[@matthewm3912]

[@scottstrecker9867]

Don't why better warranty in Canada than USA but good machine my 19cforce over 1000 miles no problems

[@pierre-lucdoiron1325]

The extra warranty is added by CFMoto CANADA.

[@travisbarr5367]

on cfmoto website they show to have a screen with apple car play and android auto capabilities that ties to a sound system

[@dirttraxtv]

Interesting!

[@slimtny]

This or the Segway villain?

[@dirttraxtv]

Pretty different machines.

[@davidpickens3117]

HOW’S THE RELIABILITY

[@dirttraxtv]

Unit has less than 50 kms on it. Can't speak to long-term reliability, but will say the build quality has vastly improved.

[@rocketkid3787]

I think the new RZR is ugly, too plump. This looks way nicer

[@dirttraxtv]

Honestly, really impressed with this machine as far as 50's are concerned. Feels like CFMOTO took a big step forward in the quality department. Hope I'm right 🙏

[@GhostlyPoison]

whats the top speed?

[@dirttraxtv]

Can't recall. Sorry, I did the review months ago and it has just escaped my memory.

[@GhostlyPoison]

all good@@dirttraxtv

[@HeyItsAsmus]

"there is no parking brake that's really nice to see..." why? who doesn't want a parking brake? They tell you not to park these on a hill in park, not to haul it in park, not to use the winch in park... so do I just put it in neutral and let it roll where ever it wants to go then...?

[@matthewhodgman1805]

And he had another video showing this machine where you saw, and talk nothing about the rear end, and any kind of hauling capability.

Half the parts will bolt right onto a Maverick. Even the wheelbase is the same 😂

[@Dreamscythe1]

i actually really like my CF moto machine, BUT i have been having problems with the accessories, there expensive and there supper cheaply made, cf moto does not stand behind them at all either. i bought a storage bag for my atv, a BAG not even a hard box, over 400$ and it leaks water like crazy when its not supposed to i had one on my polaris and it did not leak at all being a soft bag, contacted my dealer, said no answer from cf moto canada, i contacted cf moto canada myself, crickets.... i am lucky and never needed my warranty on the atv itself when i had it so i dont know how they stand behind the actual machine but when it comes to there accessories its not good. and it sucks because no one makes anything for cf moto so you have to buy there stuff sometimes if you want things like storage

[@dirttraxtv]

Really sorry to hear that, John.

[@Dreamscythe1]

@@dirttraxtv I actually just got off the phone with my dealer again and he told me cf moto Canada has only one guy in there parts department right now and that's why it's like that. That's crazy! With how the brand is growing they need way more to offer good service

Looks like they tried to copy a maverick trail/sport identical body lines.

[@thefall3551]

Ripped of the RZR before and now the maverick trail.

[@jusdsun8319]

I still can't believe no one's talking about the blatant copy ing of the engine, it looks exactly like rotax engines in Can-Am's. Now the rest of the vehicle is just a copy of a Can-Am. You mentioned it's all new, is the frame new or is it the same? Also you said you had not driven it yet, how did you get it to that location? Did you unload there? You guys always mention the warranty in Canada, what's the warranty in the US?

[@dirttraxtv]

Unloaded it there and did the walk around. I'm going to be taking it out this week for a good ride so I'll have more comments...

[@BC_Hunter]

Never buy Chinese knock offs.

[@timfoster1599]

First😂

[@Captndarty]

The cage, door and interior have an uncanny resemblance to the maverick/commander….🤔 China wouldn’t do that would they?

[@dirttraxtv]

There's some similarities to other machines, but I think a lot of vehicles borrow styling cues from one another and tip tow around patents. It's like saying pickup trucks all look the same because they're pickup trucks. The key difference for this machine that I'm curious to test out is the rear suspension. The Maverick Trail's is much further back than this and I've always felt it rides a bit rough. Be interesting to see how this shakes out...

[@BC_Hunter]

I’ll never buy a Chinese machine.

[@JPS1990]

I couldn’t agree more! Nothing says I support the CCP more than driving around in one of these clown vehicles.

[@jadosa29]

I have bad news for you, you probably can’t buy any machine that doesn’t have at least some Chinese parts on it. Probably a good percentage of those parts too. It’s the same in the automotive industry. I work in the body shop of a multi franchise car dealership, and one of the brands they sell is Ford. We had a new F-150 in the shop with carrier damage and there was a sticker in the window with percentages of parts content from what region. Less than 30% US parts, most from Asia. But hey, they put an American flag beside the vents on the dash so you can have patriotic pride in your foreign truck!😂

[@BC_Hunter]

@@jadosa29 I’m Canadian. I’ll never buy a Chinese machine.

[@JPS1990]

@@jadosa29 you do realize how American companies profits and your 401k correlates right??? Yes I get that a lot of the parts are made from china and I hate that but at least the profits the companies make go back into the American system. Imagine the profits cf moto makes. The entire machine is built in china and imported around the world. Those profits are turned right back to the CCP. The reason cf moto is so popular in Canada is because the liberal government is in bed with the ccp and the tariffs are low. They are not nearly as popular in the states and here in Ohio I don’t have a dealership within 75 miles of my house. It’s a hard pass for me!
