I am interested in the the 950 trail zforce. I wanted a 50 inch sis due to access of 50 inch trails. CFmoto says this is a 50 inch on the brochure and page, but in the manual specifications the overall width is 54.5 inches. I am concerned this will not fit through a 50 inch gate.

Why the discrepancy? Where is the sis the widest?

I can't speak for the new design but mine also was listed at a 50"..and it was at the outside edge of the tires but at the shoulder bars it was 53". If the gate posts were exactly 50"s and the posts were straight, it would not go through. My doors deleted those shoulder bars but..my wheel spacers makes them now 53"s wide so...SOL for me. Thankfully I don't have too many 50" gates or guards to go through.

Wheel stance is 50" wide; however as the specs say the machine is 54.5 " due to fenders and doors. 
Yes, if there are upright post on a 50" trail that are less that 55" wide you will have a problem.
