1000cc Performance SxS For Under $15,000
We weren’t sure it could be done but CFMOTO did it.
We’ll let you in on a little secret – your ATV Connection editors are currently deep in a vehicle review that has, by a large margin, attracted the greatest degree of user interest on the trails of any machine we’ve ever tested to date.
The full review will be coming soon where we reveal all but we will say this – it’s a fire-breathing SxS with a price tag to match its performance ($45,000). Of course the question that follows is always the same: Is it possible to buy a 1000cc class performance SxS for far less? Say, $15,000?
At first we said no chance but after doing some digging, we take it back. CFMOTO has done it. Of course, you could go over $15,000 depending on trim package and configuration but with a starting MSRP of $13,999, their ZForce 950 H.O. Sport actually ticks all the boxes of the challenge.
Fed by a 90hp V-twin engine, this beast is ready to whoop it up. Double A-arm front suspension hits the ground running with fully adjustable gas shocks offering 11″ of travel, 12.2″ of ground clearance, and a 60″ wide stance. The rear suspension, also equipped with fully adjustable gas shocks, provides an impressive 11.8″ of travel. Its high-strength, one-piece steel frame ensures this brute is durable enough to handle whatever you throw at it.
Engine
The 963cc, V-Twin, eight-valve, single overhead camshaft (SOHC), EFI Liquid-cooled engine has been tuned for performance, with maximum output increased to 90 hp at 7750 rpm and maximum torque increased to 64 lb-ft at 6750 rpm.
Drivers can choose between two power modes, SPORT & NORMAL, delivered via the ride-by-wire throttle for superior connection and control.
Frame
The new circular tube cradle frame of the ZFORCE 950 H.O. SPORT utilizes 20CrMo high-strength alloy, increasing strength by 10 percent while simultaneously decreasing weight by 15 percent. The result is an overall performance upgrade with improved rigidity for better handling and lighter overall weight for more potent power.
Display
A factory TFT (thin film technology) color display keeps you tuned into an array of engine vitals and comes with a Bluetooth call indicator.
LEDs
Keep the fun rolling beyond the sunset with the sharp, clear focus of LED headlights. ECE and DOT certified, the automotive-style LED headlights build on aggressive styling and are 80% brighter than halogen beams.
