The 2020 CFMOTO UTV lineup included seven side-by-sides divided between the work-focused UFORCE family and recreational ZFORCE models. The range stretched from compact 495cc utility and trail machines to the 963cc UFORCE 1000 and ZFORCE 950 Sport.
CFMOTO continued emphasizing value throughout the lineup. Electronic power steering, aluminum wheels, roofs and winches were included on many models rather than being left for buyers to add after purchase.
The biggest performance story was the ZFORCE 950 Sport. Its 963cc V-twin, wider chassis and new Quadra-Link rear suspension moved CFMOTO closer to the mainstream recreational sport UTV segment. The UFORCE 1000 gave the utility family the same basic 963cc displacement along with a larger cargo box and three-person seating.

2020 CFMOTO UFORCE Utility UTVs
The 2020 UFORCE family offered three levels of power and capability. All three models used fuel-injected engines, automatic CVTech continuously variable transmissions and selectable four-wheel drive with a locking front differential.
2020 CFMOTO UFORCE 500
Starting at $9,099, the UFORCE 500 was the least expensive utility side-by-side in CFMOTO’s 2020 lineup. Its liquid-cooled 495cc single-cylinder engine produced a claimed 38 horsepower and 32 lb-ft of torque.
The more compact UFORCE was intended for property maintenance, hunting and recreational trail use where the capacity and physical size of a full-size utility machine were unnecessary. Standard equipment included electronic power steering, a roof, aluminum wheels and a winch.

2020 CFMOTO UFORCE 800
The 2020 CFMOTO UFORCE 800 paired an 800cc liquid-cooled V-twin with a wider, full-size utility chassis. CFMOTO rated the engine at 62 horsepower and 53 lb-ft of torque.
Its 600-pound cargo-box capacity and 1,250-pound towing rating made it suitable for hauling equipment, maintaining property and carrying supplies. The UFORCE 800 also came with electronic power steering, a roof, aluminum wheels and a winch.

2020 CFMOTO UFORCE 1000
The UFORCE 1000 was CFMOTO’s flagship utility side-by-side for 2020. Its 963cc V-twin produced a claimed 79 horsepower, giving it considerably more performance than the UFORCE 500 and 800.
The full-size chassis provided seating for three people on a bench seat. It also increased cargo-box capacity to 1,000 pounds and towing capacity to 2,000 pounds. A roof, 3,500-pound winch, aluminum wheels and electronic power steering were standard.
At $11,999, the UFORCE 1000 was only $1,000 more than the UFORCE 800. That made it a particularly strong value for buyers who needed greater cargo capacity, additional power or room for a third occupant.

2020 CFMOTO ZFORCE 500 Trail
The ZFORCE 500 Trail was the entry point to CFMOTO’s recreational side-by-side lineup. Its 50-inch width allowed it to fit many regulated trail systems that excluded wider sport UTVs.
Power came from the same basic 495cc single-cylinder engine used in the UFORCE 500. The ZFORCE packaged it in a two-seat recreational chassis with bucket seats, electronic power steering, a roof, aluminum wheels and a winch.
- 495cc single-cylinder engine
- 38 horsepower

The ZFORCE 800 Trail combined an 800cc V-twin with the same trail-friendly 50-inch overall width. Its claimed 62 horsepower gave riders a substantial increase over the ZFORCE 500 without sacrificing access to width-restricted trails.
This combination made the 800 Trail one of the most versatile models in the range. It offered more V-twin power for climbing, acceleration and carrying passengers while remaining narrow enough for wooded trails and restrictive gates.

- 62 horsepower
- 50-inch width
- Electronic power steering
- Selectable 2WD and 4WD
- Locking front differential
- Roof, winch and aluminum wheels

2020 CFMOTO ZFORCE 800 EX
The ZFORCE 800 EX used the same 800cc V-twin as the Trail model but widened the chassis to approximately 59.4 inches. The broader stance improved stability and created a more suitable platform for riders who were not restricted to 50-inch trails.
The 800 EX also featured sport-oriented seating, independent suspension and a substantial list of standard equipment. At $11,799, it sat between the narrower ZFORCE 800 Trail and the new ZFORCE 950 Sport.
- 800cc liquid-cooled V-twin
- 62 horsepower
- Approximately 59.4 inches wide
- Independent double-A-arm suspension

2020 CFMOTO ZFORCE 950 Sport
2020 CFMOTO ZFORCE 950 Sport
The ZFORCE 950 Sport became the performance flagship of CFMOTO’s 2020 side-by-side lineup. Its 963cc V-twin produced a claimed 79 horsepower and 60 lb-ft of torque, delivered through a CVTech automatic transmission.
More important than the displacement increase was the new sport-oriented chassis. The approximately 60-inch-wide machine used double-A-arm front suspension and CFMOTO’s Quadra-Link trailing-arm rear suspension. Adjustable piggyback shocks provided 11 inches of front travel and 11.8 inches at the rear.
Drivers could select between Sport and Eco power-delivery modes. A roof, half doors, electronic power steering, 27-inch tires, aluminum wheels and a 3,500-pound winch were included in the $12,999 starting price.

How the 2020 Lineup Fits into CFMOTO History
The 2020 lineup marked an important stage in CFMOTO’s U.S. growth. The UFORCE 1000 gave the company a credible full-size utility flagship, while the ZFORCE 950 Sport established the basic naturally aspirated 963cc performance platform that would remain part of the ZFORCE family for years.
The compact UFORCE 500 and the ZFORCE 500 Trail were eventually discontinued, but their role as affordable entry-level machines continued through newer CFMOTO models. The 800cc and 963cc platforms proved considerably more durable in the lineup.
