Review: 2022 CFMoto CForce400 - fit for a farmer?
Рет қаралды 23,095
Күн бұрынWelcome to the channel! There won’t be very many reviews like this in the future, but so many people have asked us about our budget quad bike purchase, I wanted to share this first.
Is a new, 2021 CFMoto CForce quad as good as a five year old Honda? What’s the quality of a Chinese quad bike like? Are they worth buying? Are they fit for farm life on our pasture-raised beef, pork and egg farm in Queensland, Australia?
We couldn’t find any answers, so we bought it anyway. See what we think..
Please like, subscribe and share - we’d love your comments on the bike, budget quads in general, or what you think of the review*
*be kind, you were rubbish your first time too. Trust me.
Enjoy!

Ps: check out the farm here:

I bought the Kawi Brute 300 u were talking bout, got end of year deal on a '22 last week. For the price and IF u need/want 4WD this CF 400 looks like a deal. Im an enduro bike guy, big Kawi fan and just needed a toy for winter riding and river running on the ice. I gotta say this Kawi 300 goes though some deep SH*T for only being 2wd and its really nimble, light feeling. I love it.

Real talk powersports on KZfaq have a lot of video content on the CFMoto lineup if you wanna look there. I have the 2021 Cforce 600 touring will be doing upgrades this spring so far I am very satisfied with my purchase. 450 miles/724 kilometers so far.

Great video. I work on ATV's in the UK, and have mostly worked on the Hondas, Yams, Kawas etc. i'm now starting to see CF Moto's come in for servicing and repairs, and as much as I wanted to hate them, they aren't a bad bike. When you work out the economics of buying a CF Moto vs a Honda/Yam etc., here in the UK CF Moto give a 2 year warranty, and the bike is £2k cheaper... for a farm business it's better to buy the CF Moto over a Honda. Are you tempted to change this bike in for the new version - way better turning circle on the new version. If you still have this bike in your video, in the UK I know it's possible to install an 'off road' ecu with more power, and that makes a noticeable difference 👍

One thing I have noticed when looking for an atv for my farm is that these ones come with individual suspension for all tires, I was looking at a honda foreman and I was told I had to pay even more to get the model that has individual suspension and even then the basic honda foreman was too expensive for my taste. I took a chance when I bought a new Dacia Duster 4x4 and I have been pleased with it so far, I might as well take a chance with cfmoto, if I am as pleased with them as I am with my Dacia I will have saved quite a bit of money that can be spent on my farm instead :)

They really are a good machine! There are as good as anything else out there for the same price. I believe a few of them even have Ktm motors

That’s great! Hopefully ours is reliable like that. We didn’t fit skid plates but it won’t be doing super rough trails.

Never see 1 of those roll over bar before. How much they make people pay for that eye sore. I guess it would help keep the bike from sitting on top of you But I would take it off asap if my bike.

Disable foot brake cable from gear selector, very easy to do. Are some videos about how to do it, heard that they stopped to link foot brake to gear selector on new ones. Don't need it, after disabled foot break cable it's really easy to shift. But only shift when the bike stand still, that's obvious anyway on CVT 🙂👍

I wanted to buy one for friends to ride but after I rode one I passed. The shocks were junk and not much travel but mostly it felt sluggish, you had to run it hard to get any power or speed. The Honda are more here in the states but will outlast this 10 to 1, spend the money if you want to keep a bike forever. One last thing in my area here it’s impossible to sell these used, nobody wants them.

😂😝🤣😆They are the fastest growing ATV in the states! I’ve got a 2019, 800 and a 2021, 600 and a Polaris Sportsman 500 and I’ve had less issues with the CF Motos! They are extremely reliable, reasonably priced and loaded with extra features. You’ve obviously never had one.

my two cents, we bought one in 2017 for 5000 driveaway. It’s only got 1100 km on it now but we have never had a problem with it. It’s worked really well, granted, we are only on 5 acres here, but we use it pretty much every day not hard but it does a bit of work so I like it cheers
