EICMA: CFMOTO adds to its sports and farm arsenal

With its wide portfolio of on- and off-road vehicles, CFMOTO’s never far from the spotlight, and that was the case at the 110th edition of EICMA as the powersports manufacturer showcased more than 30 new products.

While the likes of the new 675 sports models and the V4 engine piqued the interest of the road warriors, the off-road stand was just as captivating as the company unveiled on electric version of its highly successful UFORCE 600, the turbocharged Z10 sports side-by-side, and the CFORCE VISION GEN4 Concept.

Expanding CFMOTO’s UTV lineup into the electric market, the UFORCE U6 EV is built on the highly successful UFORCE 600 platform offering a quieter and more sustainable off-road solution.

The U6 EV retains the towing (680kg) and payload (250kg) capacities of the UFORCE 600, while the side-mounted motor generates peak power of 47hp (35kW) and 70Nm of torque. The UFORCE U6 EV can reach a top speed of 80km/h and has range of up to 128km (at 30km/h unloaded) on a single charge.

Other standard features include electronic power steering, independent rear suspension, a ROPS-approved cage, 2WD/4WD, CVT transmission and12-inch aluminium wheels.

CFMOTO’s ZFORCE sports side-by-side (SSV) range has solely focussed on naturally aspirated power units from the get-go, but now you can add a lusty turbocharged model into the mix thanks to the all-new Z10.

It’s the CFMOTO SSV flagship, designed for thrill-seekers and enthusiasts who demand irresistible power and capability. The boosted triple produces 143hp (105kW) and135Nm, putting it into the realm of the turbocharged models from the likes of Can-Am and Polaris. The Finke Desert Race anyone?

The powerplant also includes a new in-house CVT transmission, 

The Z10 has multiple ride modes, while the FOX QSE suspension has three settings: 'Soft' for effortless cruising, 'Medium' for challenging terrain, and 'Firm' for high-speed thrills.

The multi-function steering wheel gives drivers complete control, while a12.3-inch MMI touchscreen with Apple CarPlay provides real-time information.

CFMOTO displayed a motorcycle concept at EICMA, and on the ATV front it was the CFORCE VISION GEN4 “merging form and function”.

The GEN4 Concept focusses on minimalism, functionality and aesthetics, and highlights include the matrix lighting and mirrored rear setup.

The UFORCE U6 EV and Z10 SSV are both coming to Australia. Full specifications and release timelines will be announced in due course.
