Good video. I for one love storage space so I was impressed to see how many storage cubbies there are. The top speed was very impressive. Seriously, I didn't expect that.

[@MiddlePark]

I've been beating my uforce 1000 like a red headed stepchild for about a year now here in the Rockies. I damaged the parking gear lock, had some coolant leaks, and toasted a belt while abusing it plowing packed snow for the 1st 30 miles on the odometer. My Uforce 1000 makes living out here possible year round. Can't get a better tool for the money.

Thanks!

We are planning a purchase for our new property. I wouldn't have thought of CF Moto until this review. Thank you!

[@dirttraxtv]

Appreciate that! It's a decent machine. I really enjoyed the way it rode and its power package. In my opinion the positives greatly outweighed any negatives. 🤘

[@ericbreau845]

Great video I'm really considering the uforce 600 for my property hopefully next year can pull the trigger on one. Also love all the people just bashing it ok we get it you can't stand the fact this is 5k + less then you paid for yours comes with more standard options and a 5 yr warranty thats a you issue. Don't be harping on dirt tracks this is their job to review all types of atv and sxs if your going to hate on cfmoto so much then why did you even watch the video

[@dirttraxtv]

Thanks for your support, Eric!! ✌️👊💥

[@PlaceOnTheHillProductions]

Great job on the video! Hard to argue the value when you consider the 5 year warranty and included roof, winch, turn signals, horn, 4 ways and LED lighting. I am waiting on the 3 seater which also includes doors.

Thanks Frank!!

There's no "value" in supporting the CCP and commie scumlords. You seem to have been misled.

Nice vid and review. As a RMax owner, not my cup of tea, but neither is the RMax to some folks. Not a CFmoto fan but competition is good.

[@leeopolka604]

2019 U force 1000, 4,500 miles so far and no issues

[@arodcctexas]

Great review.... did you always stay on high gear and normal mode? Did the belt ever slip?

[@dirttraxtv]

Thank you. Full disclosure, we kept it in normal but our unit was having issues with the different modes. Happens sometimes when we get a vehicle that's made its way around Canada before it gets to us. No belt slippage though. Everything else ran great.

[@popper690]

Thanks for the review! You mentioned the ground clearance was not an issue. I've noticed many videos where people always seem to be putting bigger tires on and raising it, but it seems like a lot of those reviews are coming from places that sell mod kits so it makes sense to promote that. Your review is one of the few that mentions the clearance is a non issue. Segway's UTV P Crew is $3k more than the CF Moto but it does comes with aluminum doors and stock 30-in tires with 14' of ground clearance. I'm just wondering if the CF Moto stock with 11' of ground clearence (it may be 12' on the newer models?) is really capable off-road without bottoming out too much? Please do a review on the Segway P crew!🤠

[@darrellalberta1227]

I love ours went out 2 times but didnt get a windsheild or back window if yiu get one make sure to get windows!!

[@conmanumber1]

L.e.d lighting and road indicators are a great standard feature. Can-Am lighting from my personal experiences after assembling hundreds of them are absolutely dismal as you cannot adjust them well and they self destruct to the point of not able to repair. Also speedo zeros off dead after so many miles.

@@Swindy1794 This unit is actually a 2021 and had around a thousand kms on it. It had been passed around to a bunch of the Canadian media outlets before we got it. It had definitely seen some hard driving before we got it, but I was still pretty impressed with how it rode. Can't speak to a longer term, higher mileage review of it at this time though.

[@DCSPORTSTER]

@@Swindy1794 obviously you don’t know quality when you see it. CFMOTO is building quality machines. I have one and it works great. I’ll see you out on the trails if your machine doesn’t break down before you get there.

[@SouthFLMudClub]

@@Swindy1794 junk? In all honesty fit and finish , comfort and power. Every level it's ahead of my Ranger Crew. Except those wheels that come on it are ugly. Other than that it's a kick ass machine built pretty solid.

[@ariesnc6320]

I’ve been looking at this , and a Polaris ranger.

[@nicolekirby2502]

How is it finding parts tho? I’ve seen a handful of these rigs running around my area recently, so I’ve been considering picking one up myself for the price and off the floor package vs a ranger.

[@dirttraxtv]

Parts availability and the relationship with the dealer would be major factors in buying ANY offroad vehicle.

[@nastynate2-kh4wg]

it needs a little more leg space in the back and front, a better shifter set up, it needs to be wider and a Quiter muffler and more towing pulling power an better place for a radio. heavier a arms. and longer 16 inch more bed

[@andrewharvey5632]

Please do a review on any hisun products. My local Polaris dealer recently started selling cf moto and hisun products. Never heard of hisun before but they have tons of inventory. Zero inventory for Polaris or even cf moto. Curious what kind of quality you get with these.

[@dirttraxtv]

Haven't had the opportunity to try one out yet. We will make some calls...

[@ericlessard5021]

Hisun is the company that will produce the speed utv

[@daverohr2796]

[@jimmysharpe8067]

My question is if you do have problems with it how hard is it to get parts

[@johnplasse2781]

Commentary reminds me of outdoor boys

[@bethensor4680]

I strongly considered CFmoto but did not go with one mainly due to my concerns with long term US relations with China (parts availability and will dealers even exist in the US in the future?) and I personally do not like China’s politics. I know I buy other items made in China as they are hard to totally stay away from but for this significant investment I chose not to go with CFmoto.

[@jackorear2536]

That's actually a valid point that I had not considered. Thanks for making me think more seriously about that.

[@howdy4596]

Mine is a beast . Had it for a few months now and hangs with all the other machines. May not be the fastest on tight trails with bumpy roads. But once again it's not a RZR. But for the price and what it came with it's done everything I needed to do

[@Merrillizer]

@@howdy4596 What if it's NOT a "beast"? What if it's REALLY just a total and complete rip-off, from engine to bumper? The CCP stole everything.....that includes engine schematics, designs, engineering, industrial processes, etc. Commie pukes, losers and scum absolutely CAN NOT do this stuff by themselves, they had to STEAL every single thing, like they stole from the Japanese to get in to this market.

[@THETRUTH-ld2mh]

I can’t find one anywhere

[@philnewjams1274]

Im five years will the trade value hold up?

[@eyeswideopen777]

How is resale on CF MOTO products compared to more popular name brands?

[@pavmentsurfer13]

Its definitely something you need to consider. Its WAY better now, but it is a fact that a polaris or can am will hold its value better.

[@ihatelols]

Well, they sell the 2010-2013 500cc atv-s at 3800-4100 eur per piece. 2017 and up are only like 30% below dealership price on the new models when buying used also. So, right now they hold their value pretty good as much as i have seen.

[@y2kxj]

They look nice, but I am a die hard Honda fan.. still going to buy the pioneer 1000

[@jeremyclubb9464]

What’s the turn radius compared to the competition?

[@dirttraxtv]

Fairly close. If we get all these units on the ground together we will do a drone shot so you can see.

[@t82us1]

How much slower is it with the extra passengers weight?

[@dirttraxtv]

Probably same difference as its competition.

[@jeffcustrin5797]

i test drove a cf moto 600 at 6ft2 and wearing 14 size boots i was jammed in the thing .Is this the same size as the 600 .Seeing you in this 1000 i must say either its bigger or you are not a big guy .I drove a 1000 ranger for a day on rental no problems ,It sucks that all we go buy is what you journalists say on the vehicle There are none on the dealers to try and buy a 20k $ plus rig not trying is not an option .I do like all you guys opinions they do help and your videos are great too but comes down to being able to try one first

[@dirttraxtv]

Yeah, I can understand your frustration. I'm 5'10" 200 lbs and fit in this thing really nice. Luke's a few inches taller than me and fits in this vehicle good as well. Totally understand that getting a ride first is the best. We're trying to give you our no BS opinions so at least you have a frame of reference for when you do get to try one out.

[@tonyfrank8528]

Who warranties these? I know 4 ppl in haliburton who've been told by RPM (the former CF dealer) to take them to the city.

[@dirttraxtv]

Seems sorta odd that RPM would say that.

[@WilliamStewart1]

Is it because they can't get parts?

[@mattbrumm8255]

My consent is that it’s a motorcycle engine that’s put in a heavy vehicle and asked to carry a bunch of weight with 6 people and a bed full of stuff.

[@patrickcampo_outdoors]

[@pavmentsurfer13]

This is actually very accurate. In the beginning there were serious quality control and build quality issues. But the improvements in those areas are impressive.

[@ihatelols]

Oh yes. My 2012 500cc atv from cfmoto was way different from the new 2022 600cc. I mean, the quality is just way better than it used to be on these machines. 2018 to 2022 are all great machines, atv-s, uforce, zforce- everything. In 2017 they still had some problems with the 600cc atv atleast, they were overheating and some other problems. Seems like they fixed all of the problems.

[@KnDArsenal]

Cfmoto only stressed no point in s their price. Their SxS are weak at best. Their ATVs on the other hand are legit. They are still not up to par with Polaris, Can Am, Honda, and Yamaha.

Net for doors is not acceptable for a SXS. It should have at least half doors. It’s a nice machine but not for me. i think driving something the size of a car on the trails is not very fun. A ATV is where it’s at for fun off road.

[@dirttraxtv]

ok
