I'm on the fence between purchasing a 2021 Zforce 1000 or the new limited built Zforce 1000 Classic, basically what it obviously comes down to is, does power steering when trail riding make much of a difference?  My local dealer has both available, and the price between the two is crazy.  Classic comes without power steering and winch.  I can pic up the classic for $14,199 compared to the regular 1000 at $17,199.  I was originally thinking of the 800 EX but now I'm unsure what direction I should go.  I'm not a mud bog rider, just trail with the kids and some off roading to set up deer stands and blinds.  I know I'll have to add a winch but is power steering worth the hype and extra $$$?

I'll tell you this-I will NEVER ever buy another UTV or ATV WITHOUT power steering...ever! Yeah..its that important..if you already have bad shoulders and even more..to keep from having..bad shoulders from riding. The young will say it isn't necessary...until they start having shoulder problems. Then their tune changes.

I don't see this 1000 classic on the CFM Canada site. Just the old style 1000 with EPS and the new 950...with EPS. Get the newest design. They have less issues and way better ride.

Sales told me the classic is a 2021 1/2 model, limited build at the moment.  He told me they actually had a slump in sales due to the 950 being either a "love it or hate it" styling.  I loved the cockpit and comfort of the 950 but absolute hate the looks.  If they evened out the front and back I'd reconsider buying one.
