It’s Here: CFMOTO Unveils ZFORCE Z10 Line

Highly anticipated is an understatement.

After several months of delay and anticipation, CFMOTO USA has officially launched its all-new 2026 ZFORCE Z10 and Z10-4 sport side-by-side models, signaling a major step forward in the brand’s performance SxS lineup.

Developed in collaboration between CFMOTO’s U.S. Design & Innovation Group and its global design team, the Z10 platform represents the company’s most aggressive entry yet into the high-performance sport segment.

At the center of the new models is a 998cc turbocharged three-cylinder engine producing 154 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque — the most powerful powertrain CFMOTO has brought to market. The engine is paired with a CVT transmission and selectable drive modes, including 2WD, 4WD and locking 4WD.

The Z10 lineup also introduces FOX Performance Elite Series QSE shocks with in-cab electronic compression adjustment, allowing riders to switch between settings on the fly. CFMOTO positions the system as a key step in elevating factory-installed suspension performance.

Technology is another focal point, with a 12.3-inch CFMOTO RideSync touchscreen featuring Apple CarPlay integration and a backup camera, complemented by a 7-inch driver display. The machines also include electronic power steering with four selectable modes and a 900-watt stator designed to support high accessory loads.

From a chassis standpoint, the Z10 features a fully welded ROPS structure, reinforced mounting points and a high-clearance suspension setup with 17 inches of front and 20 inches of rear wheel travel. The platform rides on 30-inch ITP Terra Hook tires mounted to 14-inch aluminum wheels.

The two-seat ZFORCE Z10 carries a starting MSRP of $19,999, while the four-passenger Z10-4 is priced at $22,999. Both models come standard with a 4,500-pound winch, multiple drive modes, adjustable seating and a combination HDPE and aluminum skid plate system. Units will be offered in Nebula Black and Lava Orange.

Designed by CFMOTO’s U.S. Design & Innovation Group (DIG), the Z10 wasn’t rushed to market — it was built to raise the standard. Overdesigned. Overbuilt. Ready for anything, from dunes to timberline. This launch marks the beginning of a new era of factory performance—where overkill is standard.

Turbocharged Triple Powertrain The all-new 998cc turbocharged triple delivers 154 hp and 107 lb-ft of torque with a broad, linear powerband that pulls hard through sand, rock, and technical climbs. Bosch EFI precisely manages fueling and ignition to keep performance consistent across load and elevation. Paired with an all-new enclosed primary drive CVT system and selectable throttle modes—Comfort, Trail, and Sport—the Z10 stays responsive, on boost, and ready for whatever surface you point it.

Charge-Air Cooling & Undercarriage Protection

A dedicated charge-air cooling system keeps intake temperatures low and boost pressure consistent, preventing heat soak during long pulls, slow technical sections, or big-dune days. Below, a pre-runner-inspired aluminum bash plate and vented skid system—combining HDPE skid coverage with aluminum protection—shield critical components while helping draw heat away from the drivetrain so you can push harder, longer.

QuadLink Gen II Suspension

Gen II rear suspension and high-clearance front A-arms keep the chassis composed in rough terrain, minimizing camber change and bump steer so the tires stay planted when the pace picks up. FOX QSE 2.5″ piggyback reservoir shocks feature electronic, switch-actuated compression adjustment right from the steering wheel—Soft, Medium, or Firm—allowing instant tuning for dunes, desert chop, or technical rock gardens.

Steering, EPS, & Driver Control

Control starts at your hands. Electronic Power Steering offers four selectable modes—Low, Mid, High, and Auto—so steering effort matches terrain and speed, from light precision at crawl speeds to confident weight when the pace picks up. The race-inspired, multi-function steering wheel integrates push-button start, audio controls, and FOX shock adjustment toggles, allowing you to fine-tune the ride without lifting a hand or breaking focus.

Dual Displays with Apple CarPlay & RideSync

The Z10 puts information exactly where you need it. A 7″ LCD driver display (not shown) delivers crisp, real-time data—speed, gear position, drive mode, and system status—designed to stay readable in harsh sunlight. Anchored at the center of the cockpit, the 12.3″ CFMOTO RideSync MMI touchscreen acts as a command center, bringing Apple CarPlay, vehicle systems, and the backup camera together in one clear, intuitive view.

Rigid Chassis & Safety Structure

A one-piece fully welded ROPS runs from front to rear, eliminating weak points for a stronger safety cage. The A-Plus pillar design ties directly into the frame to increase torsional stiffness, while dual-shear suspension mounts and a reinforced front bulkhead distribute impact loads and resist deformation from repeated hits. The result is a rigid, overbuilt chassis that holds its geometry under real punishment.

Wheels & Tires

Engineered for Z10 Performance The Z10 runs ITP Terra Hook tires engineered to match its power, weight, and suspension dynamics. Their aggressive, open tread maintains traction under acceleration, braking, and side load while clearing sand, gravel, and loose debris to keep grip consistent as terrain changes. Reinforced sidewalls help control deformation when forces increase. Mounted on strong, 5-star black aluminum wheels designed to handle impact, load, and torque, the package works with the Z10’s chassis and suspension to deliver stable, planted performance where power meets the ground.

Bash Plate & Recovery Gear

A factory-installed 4,500-lb. winch with synthetic rope mounts directly to a reinforced front bash plate, providing confidence to self-recover, pull through obstacles, or help others get moving again. Front and rear recovery hooks are integrated where strength matters most, while dual shear mounting points ensure recovery loads are carried through structure designed to take it.

Electrical Powerhouse & Accessory-Ready Architecture

A high-output 900-watt stator delivers stable power for factory systems and serious accessories—light bars, auxiliary lighting, audio, winches, and more—keeping everything bright and responsive. Power is managed through a dedicated accessory electrical system, protecting core vehicle functions under heavy draw. Pre-wired auxiliary switches and an integrated bus bar make the Z10 ready to run fully loaded from day one.

Control, Comfort, and Clarity

Every touchpoint in the Z10 was engineered with purpose. The fully finished cabin reflects a high level of fit and finish, with precise panel integration, refined materials, and integrated storage that deliver a solid, automotive-grade feel. At the center, a sculpted aluminum shifter stands out—a machined, jewel-like detail that feels substantial in hand and reinforces the Z10’s performance intent. Ahead of you, the 7″ driver display sits naturally in your line of sight—clear, immediate, and distraction-free.
