General Discussion / I Was Wrong or
August 23, 2022, 08:58:30 AM
I'm able to admit when I'm wrong.  The CFmoto brand is a legitimate contender.  This wasn't the case not even 10yrs ago.  I'm eating crow and it feels good...haha.

Long story short...I guide in the backcountry (powersports) and have an extensive background in powersports.  Had the opportunity of riding a CForce 600 this summer and was impressed but not sold.  Fast forward and a good friend of mine who was my dealer rep for many years.....moved to CF Moto.  I was baffled.  He offered up his personal CForce 600 for me to try during one of my guiding trips.  4 days of abuse in the remote north rockies of BC guiding a large group (10 units).  One of the trails is considered the toughest in north america.  The quad not only faired well, it exceled.  It did better than we all expected and trust me, not one of us expected much.  The winch was pulled out once in the 4 days.  Sorry, 3 times but the other two times were pulling out others.  This was in bone stock format.  Not a person in the group was throwing out compliments before the trip started.  I was the abuse of much ribbin...lol.  NO ONE was ribbin afterwards and in fact all were thoroughly impressed.  I should note....this group isn't a slouch in the offroad world..

I'm sold.  I love this quad.  CFMoto is an absolute contender and when it comes to value, they're at the top of the pile.  Without a doubt.

Kudos to CFMoto for continuing to push.  For taking it serious.  Proud to have one in the garage.

Some vids of it in action:

I will admit that I made fun of the brand for many a year.  I come from running large multi line dealerships.  Honda, Polaris, Arctic Cat, KTM, etc.  CF was a complete joke not even ten years ago.  I'm now eating my words and I'm happy to do so.  I was out riding my adv bike and ran into a group of atvs.  I knew everyone in the group but one and he happened to be on a cforce 600 2021.  One of my buddies said I have to try this thing.  I declined but the owner said, go ahead, try it out.  I went down the trail a bit and was surprised of the feel and ride.  I went a little further and found the power to be pretty dang good although terrible out of the hole.  It was a fun quad.  I was shocked.  I was also super impressed with the looks.  It can't be so?

I then heard of a good friend of mine (old polaris rep) leaving polaris for....CF MOTO.  There's no way a guy of 12 yrs of Polaris is leaving for them?!  Yep.  He offered up one of his demos.  Cforce 600 2022.  I put this thing through the ringer.  I mean....hard.  I guide in the backcountry and was guiding a rather large group.  It performed better than ALL expectations by EVERYONE there.  I'm sold.  If you care to watch some fun vids you can see it in action on my buddies YouTube page here at the 52 minute mark
