CFMoto launches bargain side-by-side

CFMoto has launched a new sports side-by-side vehicle (SSV) for $10,990 ride away.

CFMoto’s new Z550, is the latest addition to the company’s 550 range which was launched earlier this year and includes the X550 ATV for $8790 and the U550 UTV for $10,990 ride away.

Director Michael Poynton said there is a big gap in the recreational side-by-side market for the new Z550.

"The Z550 represents exceptional value for money at $10,990 ride away. It’s around $2000 to $3000 cheaper than our competitors and we offer a higher spec machine," Poynton said.

The Z550 features a 500cc EFI liquid-cooled engine, selectable 2WD and 4WD modes, ROPS approved roll cage, polished alloy wheels, sports seats, adjustable steering column, roof kit and tow kit included in the ride away price.

The Z550 is the third sibling in a growing sports range which includes the Z8S at $13,490 ride away and the Z8EX ($15,750) which CFMoto says was the highest selling sports side by side in the country in 2014.

"We’ve seen a clear growth in the side-by-side market this year with industry statistics suggesting a strong deviation from ATV’s to side by sides – something we are well placed to capitalise on," Poynton said.

CFMoto has been bulking up its side-by-side range and now offers three sports side-by-side models and four utility vehicles. "We are definitely looking to strengthen and expand our side by side model range over the coming years," Poynton said.
