Value ATV Shootout: CFMOTO VS Polaris

[@jamesssss621]

The cfmoto is 75% the price of the sportsman but the sportsman is 33% more expensive than the cfmoto.

[@johnconrad3549]

Had friend of mine go creak riding with me he has a new 570 Polaris I have a 2007 kimco 300 his belts got wet and my little kimco had to pull him back to dry land. My next 4 wheeler will be anything but a Polaris.

This is a very bad comparison. The 450 is really a 500 class. The review would have been better to compare the CForce 500 not the 400.

[@bobbyharvill4225]

I bet you've never had one. You're just repeating something you've heard. I seen and used every brand made, on farms. They all break at some point. The Polaris was just as dependable as any other atv. The only difference is that everyone wants to use the Polaris , because of the extra power an performance,plus a better ride.

[@parkerblomberg251]

Brandon Hoover I could not believe it when I saw the zip tie on the Moto

[@grant2k]

The CFmoto has a plate and mirrors so it probably has some aftermarket stuff tied on to make it legal to whatever their local requirements are for registration. I'm just guessing and trying to give it the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it's holding on a horn or something?

[@thethiefonthecross9092]

If you live in hot areas like the desert like New Mexico don't buy a CFMOTO they suck they get hot and have trouble starting when they are hot we have the 400 we had two of them got rid of one because my son was a little more harder on the throttle so I got him something bigger my daughter just cruises so it works for her but they both had the same problem when they get really hot in the summer they have trouble starting up after that brand new from the store I wouldn't waste my money on that crap ever again.

[@brianniziol6479]

I have owned and put many miles on Arctic cat 1000 Can-Am 800 Yamaha 450 and Polaris 850. The most reliable was the Yamaha by a country mile. I say if it is not made in Japan do not buy it.

What about the difference between Polaris's "forget the customer" 6 month warranty and CFmoto's excellent customer service and 5 YEAR WARRANTY! ... You left that out...

[@alexmaclean1]

Justinator8400 true but I'm wondering what the experience would be when you actually have to use that warranty.

[@maverick1airsoft988]

Alex MacLean I have 5 year warranty on my Polaris 570 and haven’t had to fix anything other than spider bearings on the prop shaft,

[@wickedmainah950]

You got to buy the extended warrenty. Any machine will break if your wide open pounding the shit out of it all the time. My polaris sportsmans have been reliable with only minor issues over the years. Wash the mud out after every ride and keep greased.

[@lawnmowerdude]

Do you work for cfmoto?

[@neilsbergstedt]

Good comparison. I hate to nitpick too badly here but as far as the math is concerned the CFmoto costs 75% of the Polaris while the Polaris costs 33% more than the CFmoto. ;-)

[@TrailRider]

I'm glad you mentioned about the Polaris shifter. I don't doubt that its less accurate and mushy, but even bigger is that design is so outdated. I'm guessing that somebody at Polaris feels like that ugly twisted stick protruding out the side is a part of their brand recognition but it has to go. Thank goodness they didn't carry it over to the scrambler. I'm also not a fan of the big silver wheel hubs in the center of the wheel but maybe now I'm getting too picky.

[@gregrowe1168]

I hate the Polaris shift lever. There's nothing to keep you from banging your right knee into it when you're riding either.

[@oh_thatz_mauricio]

And they damage EZ

[@intromaster]

You're so right. That shifter looks like something from the 7O's

[@alehuoree5299]

We bought a brand new Polaris sportsman 570 and it's full of problems it has broken on the way home of electrical problems under 1000km it's terrible to drive and if you drive in rocky trail the motor gearbox has a Metallic slamming sound. we had a 15 years old honda rincon and no problems ever only thing was a really dirty air filter and carburator that was so dirty that it didint run good at all after I cleaned them it ripped so hard! it was the best atv i ever ridden every!! winter i drow it in the snow all day it started better then polaris and it doesn't take any gasoline compared with polaris (polaris takes too much gasoline for the power ratio)

[@Winnipeg_Jets_Fan]

Partial review based on one of their major financial supporters

[@mrl390]

I have owned 2 different Polaris quads, both with the 500 ho engine. When it comes to maintenance, they will nickel and dime you to death. Nothing major but you will be replacing brakes, bearings and bushings CONSTANTLY. There are also a lot of different electrical issues you may run into if you run your quad every weekend. That being said, though I no longer ride, if I needed to buy a quad again I would buy a Polaris in a heartbeat. The ride on these is absolutely amazing compared to any other brand. The AWD system is easy to use, just flip it into AWD on the go when you are nearing rough patches and don’t give it another thought. It will get through it, or crawl over it. If it can’t I doubt other quads will. Also, power is amazing compared to other similar sized engines, especially on the smaller displacement machines. My 500 sportsman was quicker and almost anything under 800cc except for the can ams. Sure I worked on it after every ride but oh well I enjoyed riding it more than any other brand I’ve ridden so I put up with it. Just wish I still had time to ride or I would still own my 13 sportsman 500

[@cbradley621]

I agree about the shifter because when I rode my friends sportsman the shifter was in the way since I race dirtbikes I sit even farther forward than most 4wheeler owners.

[@laengineer8546]

I will never ever ever want an ATV to decide when I want AWD and when I don't. Give me a 4x4 selector and a diff lock selector (or limited slip). I'm sure it works fine, but the same reason I want these are the same reason I don't like automatics.

We were looking at side by sides this week and I caught a mechanic outside at the dealer and he talked to us for about 15 minutes. He let us sit in other people's machines because none of the dealers have anything in stock right now. He said he'd never own a Polaris. He showed us 15-20 atv's and utv's waiting for repairs and they were all Polaris except for stuff that owners had wrecked. He liked the Kawasakis and Hondas they sold and said to buy Japanese...

$5,999 for that Polaris in the U.S? damn... In Canada they start at $8,999 and by the time you add the taxes, registration and financing interest it comes up to like $12,000.

I just checked and the 850 starts at $10,500 in Canada so you would be looking at a $15,000 bill by the time you were done.

Do not ever by CFMOTO they do not perform well in the Heat when they get hot and you turn them off they do not want to start back up right away they will if you force them by giving it gas and holding the throttle a little bit so it don't die but who wants to buy something like that when they can have quality. I bought two of the CF Moto 400 and they both had the same problem they were both brand new 2020s from the store I deeply regret buying them.

I'd still go with the Kymco if I wanted the best price. The 450i makes quite a bit more power than the CF Moto 400 as well. The Kymco 450I is basically identical to the Arctic Cat Alterra 450 as Kymco makes the engine for both.

[@alburd1]

They all come with that zip tie when they are new. I was at the dealer and they all had it. I bought a 500cc CF and it had it too. I took it off and nothing popped out of place or anything. I assume it has something to do with the original packaging? I will say this, SO FAR it's been a great rig. I got a brand new (2017 model) 500cc 4x4 with dif lok, power steering, winch installed, aluminum mag rims for $4999. and when you ride it you don't feel like you are on a piece of shit. It rides pretty nice, looks great. I'm an old school Honda guy and I like this rig. A lot of bang for $5000. My only beef is it doesn't turn very sharp.

It's cheaper to sleeve down an existing, oversized engine, than to develop a whole new block for the smaller class.

I'm looking to buy a new quad. I'm your opinion what is the better bike, 2019 cfmoto cforce 600 or the 2018 kymco mxu 700i le esp? Both brand new, both about same price and both equipped the same. Oh and both dealerships are within 10 miles from my house..

[@vansantsam]

For $1500 in savings gives some room for modifying the suspension and moving the brake lever to the other side if you desire.. I have had my Arctic Cat since 2003 and one of the first things I did was to change the rear springs and make adjustments to preload, tire pressures and added 1 inch spacers on all 4 corners, for my personal desired handling characteristics.. Next changes were a tad more aggressive 6 ply radial tires.. Having owned 4x4's for over 50 years (Jeeps, Scouts, 4 wheel drive pickups etc), I have discovered that in many and almost all cases lower power is better (fosters traction rather than spinning and digging deeper holes).. Narrower tires also foster better traction (gets down through the muck to find solid ground for better traction rather than floating in the muck, and trying to paddle in the sloppy stuff).. Tires and ground clearance is the key with just enough power to pull you through without excessive torque and spinning.. My 400 has shamed many with over twice the engine size.. Left them scratching their heads.. Who do you think would win a drag race on ice, a low powered VW Beetle or a high horse powered Corvette - my money would be on the VW for sure..

[@kemperharris7378]

Honda all the way

[@team6274]

fan of polaris, never driven a CF but this comparison is way too Bias!! just on the price point alone you coudnt have pumped up the polaris anymore then turn to the CF and just give the price?? come on not hard to tell who sponsors yas!!

[@brly4542]

"Yamahaish locker" looks like cf bought old stock from Yamaha

[@raptor250gonecrazy]

I have a 2020 570 and my wife has the cfmoto 400 2020. I’ve ridden the cfmoto it’s a nice bike. Only complaint is I feel as though the steering is limited

[@Gamebit450]

2:14 the cfmoto is literally held together with zip ties LMFAO!!!

[@051biohaz]

Lol, you don’t sound biased at all…

[@φύτεψε_τον_κήπο_σου]

Thanks!

[@malcolmeunson5543]

Buying by any other criteria...? BUY HONDA!!

[@marlonlocklear239]

Polaris is the best out right now I love my 2018 sportsman 570

[@damirivancic4964]

is big difference in quality, performance betwen cf moto vs polaris?

[@justinlynch3]

I know 2 guys that had Polaris, my cousin who had I think a 09 and my friend who has a 2011. Polaris seems to have tons of power, a 400cc is fast as hell. Smooth riding, great AWD. But you can't keep the damn things out of the shop. Polaris seems to be good as long as they are under warranty. Soon as the warranty is out, sell it. I have no idea about CF Moto, no experience with them.

[@justinlynch3]

That's good to hear.

[@kneedeepinbluebells5538]

Waddya Know ... A Polaris Commercial !

[@christopherbirtwhistle1160]

Hi I have a quadzilla rs6 600cc and now when I just the rear breaks I get a noise like it's trying to break the engine but something is grinding like cogs do u have any idea what it is

[@PatriotNC1]

I do like a Polaris, but when I went shopping for a mid-sized 4x4 they just didn't give me the good financing deal that Honda did. I got the 2016 Honda Rancher 420, DCT, IRS, fuel injected model. Well equipped, smooth, tough and reliable motor. For my use it fits the bill perfectly. Polaris would do much better if they would make better financing terms.

[@domino4843]

Financing is done with the dealer or your bank, manufacturers have nothing to do with it. On the other hand you might get rebates from manufacturers, it this what you mean?

[@leonharper9072]

69 plate 450 such a better qaud then my old polaris best upgrade ever

[@rdaystrom4540]

The Polaris radiator looks vulnerable to damage from a limb.

[@blakew1026]

I have a question to ask you so my brother is always talking shit about my sportsman 400 (2013) and he has a 2013 Suzuki 750 so what do you guys think is better if you don't consider HP

[@jaxsonbrowning3019]

I'm a bit late, but they are both proven great quads. It also depends on what type of Suzuki it is. Given that it is a 750cc I feel that it would clearly out perform your 400cc, but that does not necessarily mean it's better.

[@nickcosentino5368]

Was this a comparison or a Polaris commercial?

[@goshnodo]

Lol a new 450 Polaris here is 5k.

[@ant2464]

Starting at $6,499 US MSRP. Where are you seeing 5K?? US??

[@josephpenhale3075]

I have a CFMOTO 500 and a Polaris 570. The CFMOTO comes with better tires than the Polaris so it outperforms on crap terrain and river crossings. The Polaris does have a bit more get up and go. Neither machine have ever let me down and for a beginner, the MOTO is easier to manage. Sometimes I prefer it. The CFMOTO is much cheaper and more easy to replace if I destroy it in remote Alaska doing wild Alaskan things. But the Polaris sips gas compared to the CFMOTO which is important when fuel stations are not so easy to get to.

[@stevebergman4587]

Joseph Penhale who makes the Motor for the cf moto?

[@rickhorn7256]

the 500 also comes with power assisted steering on the CFMoto making it so much easier to steer

[@FltMdk]

Rick Horn both the Moto and Polaris have EPS.

[@Freemansynthetics]

if it has a belt drive, not interested.

[@prestonbinks4382]

When he says the polaris is only 25% more, but anyone with decent math skills knows its 33.333333...%. Hard to take the word of someone that struggles with year 7 math

[@lawnmowerdude]

Or a calculator.

[@mr.warhead9166]

I'd go for the CFmoto, got a Cforce 550, No problems whatsoever, smooth and reliable asf.

[@kevinhenson5942]

Is the CF moto still holding up good?

[@oh_thatz_mauricio]

@@kevinhenson5942 lol rightt

[@dblockvillin]

Mr. Warhead need an update on that 550 I know you’ve had problems

[@KriegerKrieg]

Yeah give us an update already...

[@brandon9954]

still waiting lol
