CFMoto CForce: four-wheeler (ATV), versions and what to know when buying used
CFMoto CForce — the four-wheeler (ATV) family, produced since 2008. We review the versions, engines, and what to check when buying used.
CForce in brief
CForce — CFMoto’s four-wheeler line, designed for work and play. It offers an affordable price and a wide range of models — from smaller to powerful two-cylinder versions.
These four-wheelers are popular among farmers, hunters, and forestry workers, as well as those who want an ATV without breaking the bank.
Versions
Most common names: CForce 450, 500, 520, 550, 600, 800, 850 and 1000, as well as versions with a longer wheelbase or dual seats (L, Overland, XC). They differ in engine, suspension, and equipment.
Since the names have changed, when buying, check the specific ATV year and trim level.
Engines and transmission
Smaller models have single-cylinder engines, while the 800, 850, and 1000 versions feature larger two-cylinder engines. Power ranges from a few tens to over 80 hp.
Transmission — automatic CVT, with selectable two- or four-wheel drive. Often includes electric power steering.
What to check when buying a used CForce
Check the CVT belt, transmission, front and rear differentials. Listen for any noise, vibration, or slippage.
Inspect the suspension, ball joints, wheel bearings, and brakes. Look for oil leaks and damaged plastic guards.
Check the frame for rust or repairs, the hour meter, the power steering operation, and the condition of the clutch.

Frequently asked questions
How does the CForce differ from the ZForce?
The CForce is a four-wheeler (ATV), ridden from a motorcycle-style seat. The ZForce is an SSV: two side-by-side seats, a protective frame, like a small car.
Can it be driven on roads?
This depends on the specific ATV registration, category, and country regulations. Before buying, check if it is registered to drive on public roads.
Which engine to choose?
If you mostly work, a single-cylinder will do; if you're tackling tough terrain or hauling more – opt for a twin-cylinder.
