This year, CFMOTO is making things less confusing in the designation of its ZFORCE UTVs. With the first-generation chassis no longer in the model range, there’s no longer any need to include the GEN2 designation (for chassis generation), and the model range is now defined according to use instead of chassis. ZFORCE models are now SPORT or TRAIL.
As a result, the 800 engine is now offered only in the Trail model, and only the 950 engine in the SPORT. Aesthetically, the body line is strong, and the CFMOTO signature is easily recognizable: a large V-shaped grille, underlined at the bottom by the bumper and topped by the high-mounted LED headlights. The ZFORCE 950 SPORT also features a full-size tailgate. Of course, the interior layout has also been redesigned, with a more modern dashboard, LCD screen with two display modes, and closed, watertight compartments. CFMOTO also offers a four-passenger version of the ZFORCE SPORT 950.
The ZFORCE SPORT 950 is powered by a 962.6 cc four-stroke V engine with eight valves. It delivers 90 horsepower and 60.5 lb-ft of torque at 6200 rpm. As a result, it delivers a sporty, responsive performance, particularly at mid and high revs. CFMoto’s CVTech-IBC transmission, which has a high and low range, works with a two- and four-wheel drive system and an electronic locking differential.
The ZFORCE SPORT really do have a good, redesigned four-wheel independent suspension, double wishbone at the front with a gas-charged shock absorber featuring separate adjusters for rebound and compression. At the rear, the equally independent suspension also features a control link to keep wheel camber as stable as possible. The SPORT is 60 inches wide. The SPORT therefore has greater suspension travel, which enhances comfort and ground clearance.
As you’d expect from CFMoto, the standard equipment is generous: roof, gas shocks, front and rear bumpers, 4500 lb winch with remote control, side mirrors, extremely comfortable seats with three-point seatbelts, handbrake for parking, not to mention turn signals, hazard lights and a horn that are more practical than you’d expect on the track.
