So, Who is CFMOTO? How This Rising Brand is Shaking Up the ATV & Side-by-Side Market

If you’re in the market for an ATV or side-by-side (SxS), chances are you’ve seen the name CFMOTO pop up alongside big brands like Polaris, Can-Am, and Honda. But who is CFMOTO, and how did they become a major player in the off-road world?

Let’s break it down—from their beginnings to how they’re redefining the industry with unbeatable value, power, and reliability.

The History of CFMOTO: From Small Startup to Industry Leader

CFMOTO was founded in 1989 in Hangzhou, China, originally focusing on high-performance motorcycle engines. As the brand grew, it expanded into the powersports industry, developing ATVs, UTVs, motorcycles, and even electric vehicles.

Fast forward to today, CFMOTO operates in more than 100 countries and has a dedicated U.S. headquarters in Plymouth, Minnesota, solidifying its status as a top competitor in the American market.

What sets them apart? Premium performance at an unbeatable price. Unlike some brands that charge extra for essential features, CFMOTO loads their machines with standard upgrades, making them an incredible value for riders of all levels.

CFMOTO’s Rise in the ATV & Side-by-Side Market

Let’s face it—when it comes to ATVs and SxS, the market is dominated by big names like Polaris, Can-Am, and Honda. But CFMOTO is proving that you don’t need to pay premium prices to get premium performance.

Here’s why they’re winning over so many riders:

1. Industry-Leading Power & Performance

One of the biggest concerns when buying an ATV or SxS is engine performance. Many lesser-known brands cut corners, using underpowered motors or outdated tech.

Not CFMOTO.

CFMOTO designs and builds its own high-output engines, ensuring consistent quality, power, and reliability.

🔹 Example: The CFORCE 1000 Overland ATV packs a 963cc V-Twin engine with 79 horsepower, rivaling machines from Polaris and Can-Am while costing thousands less.

🔹 Customer Review: “The CFORCE 1000 has been a beast. I take it through thick mud, over rocky terrain, and even haul gear—it never skips a beat.” – Ryan S.

2. Fully Loaded with Features – Without the Extra Cost

Most major brands charge extra for features like winches, EPS (Electronic Power Steering), and LED lighting.

CFMOTO? They include them standard.

Let’s compare two popular mid-size ATVs:

Feature	CFMOTO CFORCE 600	Polaris Sportsman 570
Horsepower	45 HP	44 HP
Winch Included?	✅ Yes (3,500-lb winch)	❌ No (Costs extra)
Electronic Power Steering (EPS)	✅ Yes	❌ No (Only on premium models)
Hand Guards & Storage	✅ Yes	❌ No
Base Price	💰 $7,399	💰 $7,999 (without add-ons)

➡️ Bottom line: CFMOTO packs in features that Polaris charges extra for, giving you better value and savings.

🔹 Customer Review: “I was looking at a Polaris but didn’t want to pay another $1,500 for a winch and power steering. CFMOTO had it all standard—easy decision.” – Megan D.

And since CFMOTO parts are widely available in the U.S., service and maintenance are easier than ever.
