Straight Out of Hangzhou

Over the last five years, CFMOTO has earned a reputation for its diverse product line. The company’s powersports vehicles blend performance and durability with cutting-edge tech features at affordable prices.

CFMOTO is aggressively bringing these vehicles to key markets like the US. It describes its products as “overbuilt and underpriced beyond expectations.” Models like the ZFORCE 800 have made CFMOTO a legitimate alternative to Japanese and European makes.

The company was established in 1989 in Hangzhou to produce engines for the domestic Chinese market. It quickly developed into a full-fledged vehicle manufacturer, supplying vehicles to fire and police agencies in China.

CFMOTO entered the US market in 2002 with select ATVs, side-by-sides, and motorcycles. Five years later, it set up a base of operations in Plymouth, Minn. The American team works closely with headquarters in China to develop and enhance its vehicles for the US market.

Today, the brand has more than 570 authorized dealers in the United States, with plans to add more dealers and models. CFMOTO vehicles are available in more than 100 countries, with regional facilities in Europe and Thailand.

Motorsports Participation

Another sign of CFMOTO’s commitment to becoming a global brand is its participation in motorsports, supporting Moto3 teams in the FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix. The company also leverages strategic partnerships, such as its relationship with KTM. The two companies develop co-branded motorcycles, and CFMOTO manufactures some KTM models for specific markets.

A key milestone for the company occurred in October 2024, when the one-millionth vehicle rolled off the assembly line at its off-road vehicle plant in Hangzhou. That’s no small feat for a powersports manufacturer.

Essentially New

This 2022 ZFORCE 800 Trail UTV for sale on eBay shows just 9.2 miles on the odometer, making it essentially brand new. The MSRP in 2022 was $11,399, nearly double the seller’s current Buy-It-Now price.

This sporty two-seat ZFORCE 800 is powered by CFMOTO’s liquid-cooled, 800-cc four-stroke fuel-injected engine. It produces 62 horsepower and 53 pound-feet of torque to move the 1,228-pound vehicle.

The fully independent double A-arm suspension is equipped with compression- and rebound-adjustable front shocks and rebound-adjustable rear shocks. Front and rear 26-inch CST UTV tires mount to 14-inch cast aluminum wheels, which contrast with the Lava Orange bodywork.

Well Equipped

Other notable features on this trail beast include:

• CVT transmission
• Selectable 2WD/4WD with front differential lock
• Electronic power steering
• Full-color digital dashboard
• LED UTV headlights, taillights, and turn signals
• Four-point harnesses included (but not installed)

New powersports brands seem to emerge weekly, making it hard to know if brands that are here today will be gone tomorrow. CFMOTO set itself apart in a market saturated with competitors by making wise product choices, maintaining a consistent brand awareness campaign, and forming strategic partnerships with companies such as KTM. Expect to see more from CFMOTO.
