$13,099 MSRP

• 50-inch Friendly

• Uber-Affordable

• Great standard features

An affordable rig for narrow trails.

The 50-inch segment may not be the most exciting or widely-covered online, but if you want to access width-restricted trail systems, they’re the only game in town. The ZForce 800 Trail is CFMoto’s most affordable contender in that space, and like every other recent CFMoto rig we’ve seen, it delivers a ton of value for the money.

That’s not to say that potential ZForce 800 owners should be limited to 50-inch trails. While the 800 is far from an open-class desert brawler, it’s also just an extremely well-rounded trail rig for your typical woods two-track, and makes a near perfect introduction to the sport/recreation segment for new riders.

We don’t need to tell you that the ZForce 800’s $13,099 MSRP is tough to beat, because it is, quite literally, the most affordable option in the sport segment. Dropping a ton of money on an entry-level rig never made a ton of sense to begin with, which makes an “alternative” brand like CFMoto that much more appealing here.

How much power does it make?

CFMoto claims the ZForce 800’s 800cc liquid-cooled V-twin is good for 58 horsepower at 7,500 rpm. That number beats Can-Am’s Maverick Trail 700 by a decent margin, but falls short of the 75 horsepower parallel twin in Polaris’ popular 50-inch RZR Trail.

Still, 58 ponies is more than enough to have a good time on the tight, wooded trails these rigs are meant for. What’s more important is that CFMoto claims the ZForce 800 is good for 50 lb-ft of torque at a much lower 5,750 rpm, which is where you’ll be spending most of your time anyway.

What makes it special?

Chances are CFMoto machines wouldn’t be on anyone’s radar if they weren’t so competitively priced, and the ZForce 800 trail is no exception. Value remains the 800’s ace in the hole, and at $13,099, it’s quite literally the cheapest game in town for a quality trail rig.

The ZForce 800 may be cheap, but it’s not cheaply made. Everyone who has put pedal to floor in one of these rigs has been equally impressed by both the ride quality and the above average build quality. Features like electronic power steering, LED lighting, a locking diff, and a 3,500-pound winch are all standard equipment from the factory, as is a full poly roof and 14-inch alloy wheels.

We’ll also note that unlike most sport rigs, the ZForce 800 actually comes with a standard 2-inch hitch reciever and is rated to tow 1,500 pounds. Most recreational vehicles aren’t rated to tow at all, much less equipped with the means to do so.

Why do I want it?

You want a handsome, capable, and seriously fun trail rig, but you don’t want to pay what the competitors are asking. If you’re after a rig that can go places larger machines can’t, the ZForce 800’s 50-inch width makes it eligible for any trail that allows four-wheelers.

For those who want a few nice bells and whistles, but don’t want to invest a ton of extra money, the ZForce is a solid play. The ZForce 800 includes a roof, a winch, and a twin-cyclinder engine standard, which makes it a huge value.

Why don’t I want it?

A lot of folks still aren’t interested in buying Chinese powersports equipment. That’s either thanks to experiences with poorly built imports or just prejudice. We’ll happily tell you that any modern CFMoto product we’ve tested has been great.

As is always the case with 50-inch rigs, the cockpit is going to feel a bit cramped compared to a full-sized machine. That’s par for the course in this segment, but if you aren’t constrained by width, look elsewhere.

Finally, while CFMoto’s dealer network is growing, there’s no guarantee you’ll have a good one within reasonable striking distance. Do your research in that regard, but if you’ve got someone reliable to carry out support and warranty work, we wouldn’t think twice about it.

What trim do I want?

This is an easy one as the ZForce 800 only comes in a single trim option. You’ve got all manner of factory accessories to choose from at the dealer ranging from bumpers and windshields to audio and cargo, but those items are all offered piecemeal, not as individual trim packages.

If I like this… what else should I look at?

Can-Am’s Maverick Trail is the main competitor among 50-inch-wide machines. Polaris’ RZR trail offers a good bit more power, but it also costs about $4,000 extra in its most basic trim. CFMoto also makes their own 83 horsepower 50″ trail rig in the ZForce 950 Trail.
