CFMoto UForce: side-by-side UTV, versions and what to check on a used one
The CFMoto UForce is a side-by-side utility task vehicle (UTV) from Chinese manufacturer CFMoto, produced since 2017. We look at how the versions differ, which engines are used, and what to check when buying a used one.
UForce in brief
The UForce is a side-by-side UTV designed for work and play, with an open cabin, cargo bed, often a winch, and protective frame.
The model range covers several engine sizes and body styles, so check the specific version before buying.
Versions — how they differ
The UForce comes with different engine sizes — around 500, 800, and 1000 cm³. They vary in power, transmission, and features: larger models offer more power and comfort.
Some versions have an extended cabin (XL), power steering (EPS), and additional equipment — a winch, roof, and rear window.
Engine and transmission
The engines are liquid-cooled, single or twin-cylinder, with CVT transmissions. Power is sent to all wheels, often with differential lock.
The CVT belt needs to be periodically checked and replaced. Availability of spare parts and service depends on dealers and importers.
What to check when buying a used UForce
Check the CVT belt, transmission, steering mechanism, and power steering, as well as CV joint rubber boots. Ask when the oil was last changed in the engine and differentials.
Check the suspension, brakes, wheel arches, exhaust and electrical wiring. Look for water marks, dents in the bodywork and ensure all lighting equipment is working.
