We are about to buy a zforce 950 sport locally and just need to know if they are actually good I do not want to spend 14k if it will only out live the warranty buy a week. If I spend my money I want it to last years and years. We have the money to get a Polaris rzr 1000 but Ive researched the 950 zforce a lot and the only answer I have not found is :
Are they durable? How many miles/hours will it last?
Everyone on YouTube is reviewing these but none say their miles or hours they have put on them with out working on it besides basic maintenance

I can't tell you from experience but the Z Force 950 is the best and most reliable and durable Z CFM has built yet...however keep in mind it still doesn't reach the same category as Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, Polaris or Can Am...but it is closer. Case in point you have never and probably will never see a CF Moto in any large UTV competition event like King Of The Hammers, Baja and the Mint 400 in Vegas. Now for the average rider with a little common sense and the will to take care of something..and doesn't mind the little things failing sometimes, CFM is a great choice. But they are no X3 or a RzR 1000.  They are however..1/2 the price and less.. and come with some good extras that the others don't come with so...there you go, my opinion. :)

I think it really depends on how you ride them. I have a 21 Zforce 500 trail with about 10 hrs on it so far.  I don't expect the world from it, but it has impressed me so far and exceeds what I thought it is.  Can it be broken, absolutely. I have family with rzrs that are pros at throwing money at them and can change a belt on the side of a trail like nobody's business 😁.  If you plan on riding it hard, get the extended warranty out the gate, but if it is intentional hardship on the machine I don't think they will cover it.  I also believe some are lemons and others are awesome.  There is a post in here somewhere from a guy that has a rental fleet of cfmoto stuff.  He is very descriptive on how they have held up and how many hours/miles are on them.  Eased my mind when I purchased...

I too am ready to buy a SxS. I made a trip to a up state Polarus/CFmoto dealer just yesterday.
A good place to talk to those who work on both.
I got there right as they opened and nobody was on the showroom floor yet, so I wandered over to the service shop that opens at an hour earlier as they service farms equipment too. Hands down the shop stated that their experience was that reliability of the CF was easily equal Polarus.
The shop foreman also offered up that there are dozens of parts on All UTV's ATV's that are sourced from all over the world including all of Chimna/Asia, Mexico and elsewhere.
He said that KTM motorcycles is doing a joint venture motorcycle with CF, and he also offered up that CF was the #1 UTV/ATF in Australia.
