I have two 2020 500H.O. eps and one 2019 600 2up machine so 3 in total.
A total of 165 miles on all 3, mainly NH Maine technical rocky rirverbed type climbs as thats really the main type of area i live in.
No Issues to date, Except,, OMG the plastic "dust plates" or pretend skid plates are atrocious if any type of debris kicks up, as Ive been given 2 new ones from the dealer that ripped off, and it really doesn't mauch at all.
so, I had to have the dealer help to buy skid plates for all 3 units from RIVAL as i liked their design and fit and finish more than most at 500 a machine, ugh! I wish they just installed the real skid plates from the factory, but they DONT have any! CFMOTO has awe-full accessories, aside from the usual "Brush Guard" they have they really dont have any CFMOTO branded extra's..
Other than that, I lov'em, but the dealer is really the key, mine in Lebabon Maine is outstanding so Its all Good!
Something learned from experience:
The plastic skid plats work well in snow, they slide easily. Perhaps not as stout as some may want, but Ok for most places.
The aluminum skid plates cost $$$ and stick to snow, do not slide. Stronger in one way, less efficient in another way.
Steel skid plated slide on snow and are strong. Cost unknown. However, they are heavy, and nearly all CFMoto machines are too heavy already and don't need more (Ford Advert) "Road Hugging Weight".
Your choice.
YMMV
