I bought a UForce 1000 in May. Its been a great machine, with 1800 miles so far. Used it everyday to check traps, putting on 50 miles daily. I had a polaris before that was a complete piece of junk. The CFMoto comes standard with powersteering, winch and roof. They are options on all the others. The price out the door was 12,500 for a 2021 side by side, about 4000-6000 less than the other makers. CFMoto has sold atv's worldwide for something like 40 years, just more recently here. Yes, it is a Chinese company, but look at where the parts are made for the others. So far its been a good buy for me.

Yes, it is a Chinese company, but look at where the parts are made for the others. So far its been a good buy for me. This is very interesting. I had never heard of that company. So the price out the door was $12,500? That is incredible. I recently paid $23,600 out the door for a Honda Pioneer 1000 3-seater. I would like to see a “side by side” comparison. It would be very interesting. Is one only half as good as the other? Is one twice as good as the other? Doubtful. My Pioneer was made in the USA. But what does that really mean? I would like to know where parts and components were made. We waited almost 9 months because they could not get electronic components to build it. Does CFMoto build side by sides that are sold at Tractor Supply, Sam’s Club, and Cub Cadet? A friend has a Cub Cadet that has been very good for him. When Japan was building their economy after WWII they reverse engineered successful products and made lower cost but inferior versions. Back then “Made in Japan” meant a junk product. Japan has come a long way in engineering and production. Some folks today would say that some Japanese made products are superior to their domestic counterparts. China has reverse engineered Japan’s reverse engineering and production. They saw what worked and repeated it. How long will the CFMoto side by side last? Hopefully it will last a long time. How about the Honda? Only time will tell. I chose the Honda because of good experience with their products. My wife bought a new 1996 Honda 4 wheeler. It has had a lot of use but still looks and runs great. Maintenance has been regular oil changes, batteries, tires, and the rear axles replaced about 20 years ago. Our 2000 Yamaha 4 wheeler has had a lot of use and also has been good for us with regular oil changes, batteries, tires, and a starter - I used it to plow snow yesterday.

My work tried some ATVs...
Currently have a cfmoto less than 3 yrs old and everything on the machine has fallen apart. It's sitting beside a 2011 Honda foreman with 19,100 miles that other than Minor ball joint type stuff is in perfect condition I have a 2013 Rubicon, it has power steering, that's great. It's not made as good as my '02 Rubicon

I belong to a CFMoto facebook page that has members with machines that have 30,000 miles on them with just normal upkeep. There again any side by side is only as good as the person treats and maintains it. No, they are not sold by any of the big box stores. I believe these machines are assembled in the US,. Does that mean made in the USA. Probably not.

I'm sure when they started out they were typical Chinese junk . I'm sure they have come along ways over the years though to compete with the reliable jap stuff . When copying their competitors some of the reliability will be copied too .
The price is definitely a deciding factor
