$15,999 MSRP / 83 HP

• fast, affordable

• 1-year factory warranty

• light and nimble

Big fun on a budget.

Being new to side-by-sides is a tough job. You have to do tons of research on the newest and flashiest sport rigs, only to end up back where you started. You want the best price, the best warranty, something that gets down the trail just fine but isn’t so big and powerful that it scares you. Enter, the 2025 CFMoto ZForce 950 Sport.

Aimed at the beginner driver on a budget, the ZForce 950 Sport comes in at just $15,999. And sitting at 60 inches wide, it’s narrow enough to blast through the woods in your backyard. No need to haul it to an off-road park.

We know, there’s a ton of fear out there about Chinese-made products. Don’t worry one bit about that, as CFMoto has you covered with a one-year warranty, which matches most of the industry.

How much power does it make?

The 2025 CFMoto ZForce 950 Sport gets power from a 963cc v-twin. That engine puts out 83 hp at 7,500 rpm and 63 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. Now, I’d be a liar if I said that the ZForce 950 makes proper power by today’s standards. Even the Can-Am Maverick Trail, which is a direct competitor to this rig, makes 100 hp. But you don’t go to a CFMoto for big power numbers, you go for a solid rig for an affordable price. And that’s just what the ZForce 950 Sport’s power represents.

Those 83 ponies send you down a trail just fine. And as a beginner who might not know how to control tons of power yet, that’s a solid number. The ZForce 950 Sport also weighs in at just 1,436 lbs dry, meaning that power goes a lot further than you’d realize.

What makes it special?

Simple: it can fit into almost any budget. It’s cheaper than anything else in its class, quick when it needs to be, and makes all of your buddies wonder why they bought more expensive rigs.

Why do I want it?

Are you a beginner who doesn’t want to spend your life savings on a rig? Good news, the 2025 CFMoto ZForce 950 sport is for you. You can have a blast on the trail with it without stressing about how much money you dropped on it, and that makes trail riding even more fun.

Why don’t I want it?

Off-road veterans might see the ZForce 950 Sport as a bit boring. It’s no Maverick R or Teryx H2, and that’s apparent when you step on the throttle. It’s nowhere near the flashiest and lacks solid aftermarket support, so if you live that “built not bought” life, maybe look elsewhere.

What trim do I want?

This part’s easy, as there is only a single trim to choose from. Special features include beadlock wheels, dry storage in the rear bed, and a 3,500-lb winch.

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

The Can-Am Maverick Sport and Polaris RZR Trail are both direct competitors for this rig. Both make a jump in power and MSRP. If you’re looking for a beginner-friendly rig with a bit more power, check out the Kawasaki KRX or Polaris RZR XP. Any of those rigs have tons of aftermarket support.
