2025 CFMOTO LINEUP

First look at the Z10, plus more new models By the staff of Dirt Wheels

***Editor’s note: The ZForce Z10 has been postponed by CFMOTO to address and update a concern the company discovered during extensive endurance testing. You’ve got to appreciate a manufacturer that addresses a potential problem on a new machine before it goes on the market.

**Our test ride was short and didn’t really warrant a full test article. We did feel that the new turbo has smooth, strong power and the shocks still need some tweaking before the Z10 hits production.**

Over the last decade, CFMoto has been gaining market share in the northern half of the country and small pockets in the south. In fact, the largest CFMoto dealer is Main Street Cycles in Mississippi. You can attribute their popularity to much of their fairly narrow lineup of machines with modest horsepower numbers that are affordably priced, which is perfect for these regions. Until now, CFMoto has not offered a high-horsepower, long-travel, wider machine aimed at the buyers in the southwestern part of the U.S.

**The Z10 will be the first UTV that comes standard with suspension seats. All passengers on the four-seater get them, too.**

The new 1000cc, triple-cylinder engine will find homes in the Z10 and in the UForce Pro utility machines. We’ve already been told a larger alternator and an air-conditioning compressor are available.

Z10 TURBO

For 2025, the company’s first turbo-powered UTV is the ZForce Z10 and is available in two- ($20k) or four-seat ($23k) trims. Like others, this Chinese manufacturer’s latest arrival looks eerily similar to the RZR Pro R from the side and a Can-Am from the front. As far as power, the Z10 uses a three-cylinder, inline, turbocharged four-stroke that puts out a claimed 143 horsepower. Strangely, it does not look like the three-cylinder Can-Am Maverick R engine or Yamaha’s triple that’s in the YXZ.

The unique CFMoto powerplant is mated to a fully automatic CVT transmission with high, low, neutral, reverse and park. There is no parking brake per se, only the park-in-gear transmission selection.

MORE DIMENSIONS

Overall, the turbo Z10 weighs in at a claimed 1863 pounds (dry), which is 300 pounds more than a base X3 but also $2000 less. The machine has a 99-inch wheelbase and is 64 inches wide. CFMoto claims 17 inches of wheel travel is provided through dual A-arms up front and a full 20 inches out back through a pair of trailing arms. The cockpit is roomy, and the driver’s seat does slide forward and back a good 8 inches or so. Fit and finish on the new Z10 are really what stuck out to us. The doors feel light yet close solidly, and the dash and center console are as clean as any of the competition.

The cockpit is full of features, including a 10-inch infotainment/navigation screen that will also show horsepower and torque-output numbers in real time. Now that’s a first. The steering wheel looks and feels like it came straight out of a race car. There are buttons on the spokes to control suspension, EPS, power modes and music volume. All seats in the two- and four-seaters feature suspension-style cushion in addition to foam, along with side bolsters. Plus, provisions to use harnesses have already been added. The Z10 might have the best cockpit in the business.

DRIVE TIME

Unfortunately, we were only given a few hours with the Z10 and were allowed to drive it around a small demo track full of other riders, so we weren’t able to open the machine up at all. What our test driver could feel was smooth overall throttle response and decent acceleration. There are different power modes, as well as EPS and shock modes. All of the different settings were noticeable and should come in handy when we get more time on a real trail or in the dunes. We did feel the front shocks top out slightly off a few of the jumps. On the positive side, he never felt any unexpected bottom-out. Let’s hope the top-out issue gets fixed for the production units. Speaking of production dates, we were told dealers will be able to order the machines in January 2025 for a spring delivery, so you won’t see any Z10s buzzing around Glamis this winter.

FINAL THOUGHTS

We are not exactly sure if the Glamis sand customer is actually who CFMoto will attract with this new line. However, the price point will certainly get them some new buyers in the Southwest, but we think it’s the Pacific Northwest, Utah and even the West Virginia/Tennessee rider who will be buying and riding the ZForce Z10 next year. Its narrow width and modest wheel-travel numbers will suit those customers better. But don’t worry, CFMoto hinted at more new models dropping in the U.S. market every six months, and that should be just enough to keep their current momentum going.

MORE NEW MODELS

There are 19 models in all offered for 2025. Three new utility machines brings that lineup to six. A big 1000cc ATV called the Overland will be the flagship machine of the seven CForce lineup. Finally, the turbo ZForce units cap off the six choices for the sport UTVs.
