- Welcome to the channel! There won’t be very many reviews like this in the future, but so many people have asked us about our budget quad bike purchase, I wanted to share this first.
Is a new, 2021 CFMoto CForce quad as good as a five year old Honda? What’s the quality of a Chinese quad bike like? Are they worth buying? Are they fit for farm life on our pasture-raised beef, pork and egg farm in Queensland, Australia?
We couldn’t find any answers, so we bought it anyway. See what we think..
Please like, subscribe and share - we’d love your comments on the bike, budget quads in general, or what you think of the review*
*be kind, you were rubbish your first time too. Trust me.
Enjoy!

Time to make a new review! 1 year in =)
Great vid, thanks!
Great review, detailed and most of all, honest. One of the few of its kind on this brand, which I’m looking to buy. Thank you.
Good honest review 👏 great work mate
Thanks the review was useful to me
Thank you for the honest review! Have you had any new issues since the video was made? Thanks again for the video
I bought the Kawi Brute 300 u were talking bout, got end of year deal on a '22 last week. For the price and IF u need/want 4WD this CF 400 looks like a deal. Im an enduro bike guy, big Kawi fan and just needed a toy for winter riding and river running on the ice. I gotta say this Kawi 300 goes though some deep SH*T for only being 2wd and its really nimble, light feeling. I love it.
Great vid Nick 👍
Thanks man!!
Real talk powersports on CZcams have a lot of video content on the CFMoto lineup if you wanna look there. I have the 2021 Cforce 600 touring will be doing upgrades this spring so far I am very satisfied with my purchase. 450 miles/724 kilometers so far.
Great video. I work on ATV's in the UK, and have mostly worked on the Hondas, Yams, Kawas etc. i'm now starting to see CF Moto's come in for servicing and repairs, and as much as I wanted to hate them, they aren't a bad bike. When you work out the economics of buying a CF Moto vs a Honda/Yam etc., here in the UK CF Moto give a 2 year warranty, and the bike is £2k cheaper... for a farm business it's better to buy the CF Moto over a Honda. Are you tempted to change this bike in for the new version - way better turning circle on the new version. If you still have this bike in your video, in the UK I know it's possible to install an 'off road' ecu with more power, and that makes a noticeable difference 👍
I have the 2022 cf moto 600 and love it. I think with farm use yours will last 10 plus years
that thing looks way bigger than i expected i didnt even know it had signals
Cool vid, any updates? How’s it riding now a few months on?
One thing I have noticed when looking for an atv for my farm is that these ones come with individual suspension for all tires, I was looking at a honda foreman and I was told I had to pay even more to get the model that has individual suspension and even then the basic honda foreman was too expensive for my taste.
I took a chance when I bought a new Dacia Duster 4x4 and I have been pleased with it so far, I might as well take a chance with cfmoto, if I am as pleased with them as I am with my Dacia I will have saved quite a bit of money that can be spent on my farm instead :)
They really are a good machine! There are as good as anything else out there for the same price. I believe a few of them even have Ktm motors
I have the cf600 and haven't had any issues at all 4600km getting ready to put some bigger tires on.
I think extra ground clearance from bigger tyres might be handy… let me know if you like it!
How’s that machine holding up mate? I have the 2019 800 XC and the 2021 600 touring, no issues at all.
How's it holding up 1 year later?
i dont know if im going to buy one for the fees and what not this thing will be 6200 might better get a foreman 500 manual shift
I'm live in the US I have had the cfmoto 400 for a year only thing that has broke is the skid plates
That’s great! Hopefully ours is reliable like that. We didn’t fit skid plates but it won’t be doing super rough trails.
I was going to say that’s pretty much the only thing I’ve ever had hit but mine are holding on good. Still runs smooth as day one
front hood cover of atv where your battery n fluid go is not shut all the way lol n hand guards maybe the shop installed it
Yeah mate, I reckon both those things went wrong at the dealer when they did the pre-delivery. Thanks for watching!
Never see 1 of those roll over bar before. How much they make people pay for that eye sore. I guess it would help keep the bike from sitting on top of you But I would take it off asap if my bike.
That's why It's his bike
i got the cfmoto 400 and noticed it is hard to change gears is there a issue or can i fix this problem myself
Disable foot brake cable from gear selector, very easy to do.
Are some videos about how to do it, heard that they stopped to link foot brake to gear selector on new ones.
Don't need it, after disabled foot break cable it's really easy to shift.
But only shift when the bike stand still, that's obvious anyway on CVT 🙂👍
Mate I did see on another review that the plastics are very thin and felt cheap another thing that worries me living coastal is rust as I reacon it might rust pretty quick
Plastic are good, much better than Polaris.
They are not good, specially when cold.
@@andrehunter1295 Plastics are good better than Polaris. They are not good especially in the cold? Care to elaborate?
CF Moto 850,key switch gone,won't start when turned of,power steering stop working.only 1000km from new.bad quad
I wanted to buy one for friends to ride but after I rode one I passed. The shocks were junk and not much travel but mostly it felt sluggish, you had to run it hard to get any power or speed. The Honda are more here in the states but will outlast this 10 to 1, spend the money if you want to keep a bike forever. One last thing in my area here it’s impossible to sell these used, nobody wants them.
😂😝🤣😆They are the fastest growing ATV in the states! I’ve got a 2019, 800 and a 2021, 600 and a Polaris Sportsman 500 and I’ve had less issues with the CF Motos! They are extremely reliable, reasonably priced and loaded with extra features. You’ve obviously never had one.
The thing on the handlebar is for a winch button
Of course! Thanks mate
What about a helmet?
That goony giant flip over rod should be thrown away immediately. Must be something a chick came up with?
No name brands in Australia wth?
Hey my dude. I agree the rollover bar sucks but sexism doesn’t fly in these parts.
By chick I mean thinking with feelings . Not trying to offend. Men and women just think differently. This is most certainly chick think. Men think overly dangerous. Women think overly protective.It’s not a put down just a logical observation
Damn why would you buy that junker for the farm? It's gonna fall apart
They are actually just as tough or tougher than pretty much anything out there. There built quite well and even a few have ktm engines
This guys seems to have a bad dealer because I live in the uk and have had a 450 for over a year now no issues couldn’t be happier
You again, the guy with the 1850 year model Honda ATV that brags all over blogs that his ATV still runs like it did on day one! 😂🤣😝😆😂🤣😝😆
love my cf moto 600 , been solid
no Im sorry but farmers dont buy chinese toys. they are professionnals. hey we are talking serious thing here. plus they have the money. kubota, john deer etc. and for leisure riding they have top of the line major brands. they dont have time to waste with this crap.
You don't sound like a farmer...
Im not a farmer@@nickholliday7866
THAT MIGHT BE A 2022 BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A 2021 OR MAYBE THE ONE I SAW WAS A 23 BUT IT IS A REDESIGNED AND DON'T LOOK LIKE THAT
my two cents, we bought one in 2017 for 5000 driveaway. It’s only got 1100 km on it now but we have never had a problem with it. It’s worked really well, granted, we are only on 5 acres here, but we use it pretty much every day not hard but it does a bit of work so I like it cheers
