Their Grizzly clone is basically a Grizzly 660 engine with a 686 big bore kit, which gives it the same displacement as a 700. It only makes 30HP where the Grizzly 660 makes 42 and the 700 makes 46.

This made me laugh...

Notice the #zforce800 hashtag...

But people still think it's a 1000.

Either way, CFMoto doesn't release new models until August during their annual dealer meeting. Last year they didn't have the meeting and released a few new models later because they got held up at the ports.

My meeting with the CFMoto reps and factory reps is Wednesday. I'll keep you guys informed, no worries.

UTV Action have a write up in their April edition about the HiSun Strike 1000 and it's not all bad. In fact it's mostly pretty good.  They mention the low horsepower for a 976cc engine, just 65. The throttle response is good, but acceleration is lethargic compared to other 1000s. The handling scores good with the suspension pretty good. The brakes are not the best but test driving one on the Sierra Madre Mountains it was great on the twisty forest trails, snow, ice & slush. Comfort wise it scored an excellent. Overall when comparing to the bigger brands and reading other test UTV Action has done, this is a solid write up for the HiSun. Like I've said before, they have headed in the right direction. UTV Action did a similar test with a Z8 back in Sept 2015 and they liked it.
