How does the 500HO compare?
« on: May 14, 2016, 04:00:20 AM »
Just wondering how the 500HO stacks up against say the Sportsman 500HO or other ATVs you have owned in the past? Seems to be conflicting info on top speed and other facts about them online
2013 Z6 Trail
Iron Baltic skid plates
UE Boom Speaker mount
RZR 800 Shocks
Mostly stock trail riding
25g. Rollers and A1

2016 Outlander max 570
Too new for mods yet

Never owned an ATV before this one. What really sold me was the items that came standard on this ATV. The winch I've used, the hitch I've used, and the machine was great for the trail riding we did. For the price, I can afford some repairs if needed, but so far warranty was far superior. 1 year right out of the box.

They are awesome. Mine has been flawless. Only thing I've done is add 27" mega mayhem tires. Have just under 1000 miles on mine. We have a sportsman 400, 500, and 700 and I honestly like my cforce the best. A buddy couldn't believe it when he rode mine compared to his sportsman 550.

My ride

How is the suspension? I don't like the polaris AWD, but I will say they ride nice. I would think the acceleration should be similar? I have a Z6 but really miss a regular ATV. The wife took over the outlander after I upgraded the struts. The Z6 was going to be hers. Keeping her happy is a good idea.

It's smoother than the sportsman. Not by much but you can deff notice a difference

And that's saying something. I usta have an '05 Sportsman 700 Hunter Edition, and I just LOVED that plush ride. It's the only thing that it had a clear advantage over my current King Quad 700 ATV. Glad to hear that you guys who gave CF Moto a try are finding you got your money's worth and then some !

I won't lie I was kind of skeptical when I first bought it but I have yet to be disappointed. My 07 sportsman 500 just sits now. Pretty much my back up quad because I always choose my cforce over the sportsman. Only thing the sportsman has over the Cfmoto is the fact that parts are obviously more readily available
