2027 CFMOTO XFORCE X10: Price, Specs & X10-4 Comparison

CFMOTO is expanding beyond its established UFORCE utility and ZFORCE sport families with an entirely new kind of side-by-side. The 2027 CFMOTO XFORCE X10 and X10-4 combine a 154-horsepower turbocharged triple with long-travel FOX suspension, a 500-pound cargo bed and the equipment needed for long days on the trail.

The result is a pair of 64-inch-wide performance side-by-sides built around an adventure-oriented combination of horsepower, suspension travel, cargo capacity and towing capability: the two-seat XFORCE X10 and the extended-wheelbase, four-seat XFORCE X10-4. Both are designed for riders who want genuine sport performance without giving up cargo capacity, towing capability or the technology expected in a modern adventure machine.

One important distinction: neither XFORCE model is presented as an enclosed-cab UTV with heat and air conditioning. A roof and half doors are standard, but CFMOTO’s launch specifications do not list a windshield, rear panel, full doors, heater or A/C. The X10 is therefore an open-cab performance-adventure machine, not a direct equivalent to a factory-enclosed, climate-controlled adventure UTV.

It is worth remembering that CFMOTO followed a similar launch sequence with the UFORCE U10 platform. The open-cab U10 Pro and U10 XL Pro arrived first in August 2024, followed approximately seven months later by the fully enclosed U10 Pro Highland and U10 XL Pro Highland with factory heat and air conditioning. That history leaves open the possibility of a future climate-controlled XFORCE, particularly given CFMOTO’s recent adventure-UTV patent activity, but no enclosed X10 or X10-4 has been announced.

Pricing starts at $23,999 MSRP for the two-seat XFORCE X10 and $26,999 for the four-seat XFORCE X10-4. Both models will be offered in Granite Alloy and Imperial Tan. CFMOTO has not yet announced when the first production units will reach dealerships.

Earlier CFMOTO patent drawings may also point toward a future enclosed XFORCE model with greater weather protection and secure cargo storage.

2027 CFMOTO XFORCE X10

A New XFORCE Family

The XFORCE name is important. This is not simply another ZFORCE model or an appearance package added to an existing platform. CFMOTO is positioning XFORCE between a pure sport side-by-side and a utility-oriented adventure machine.

The X10 shares its 154-hp output with the CFMOTO ZFORCE Z10, but the mission is different. A roomy cargo bed, 1,500-pound tow rating, standard roof, winch and a larger emphasis on passenger comfort make XFORCE better suited to carrying camping equipment, tools and recovery gear into the backcountry.

That places it in the growing performance-adventure category while retaining low range, selectable 2WD, 4WD and 4WD lock for technical terrain.

2027 CFMOTO XFORCE X10 with Trailing Arm Suspension and FOX QSE Shocks

154-HP Turbocharged Triple

Both XFORCE models use a 998cc, liquid-cooled, double-overhead-cam three-cylinder engine with a turbocharger and Bosch EFI. CFMOTO rates it at 154 hp at 7,750 rpm and 107 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm.

The triple-cylinder layout is intended to provide smooth delivery with a broad powerband, while electronic throttle control offers three selectable calibrations. Comfort mode softens response, Trail is the everyday setting, and Sport provides the most immediate throttle response.

Power reaches the wheels through a CVT with Park, Reverse, Neutral, High and Low ranges. The selectable drivetrain provides 2WD, 4WD and locked 4WD operation.

FOX 2.5 Performance Elite QSE shocks

FOX QSE Shocks and QuadLink Gen II Suspension

The suspension package is one of the X10’s strongest standard features. High-clearance front A-arms provide 15 inches of wheel travel. CFMOTO’s QuadLink Gen II independent trailing-arm rear suspension delivers 17 inches.

FOX 2.5 Performance Elite QSE piggyback shocks are fitted at all four corners. The driver can select three compression settings from the cockpit to suit slower technical trails, general riding or firmer high-speed use. The system provides electronically selected damping settings; it should not be confused with continuously adaptive suspension.

The shocks also include bottom-out control. Front and rear sway bars, hydraulic disc brakes and 30x10R14 ITP Tenacity tires on true beadlock wheels complete the chassis package.

Reinforced Chassis and Trail Protection

CFMOTO says the engine, suspension and reinforced chassis were developed as a complete system. A one-piece, fully welded ROPS contributes to structural rigidity and is intended to help the suspension and steering remain composed under aggressive loads.

A full-length HDPE skid plate and aluminum front bash plate protect the underside. Front and rear recovery hooks join the standard 4,500-pound winch, giving owners useful recovery equipment before adding accessories.

Adventure Capability Beyond Horsepower

The X10 and X10-4 each carry up to 500 pounds in the rear cargo bed and tow up to 1,500 pounds. Both have an 11.35-gallon fuel tank, 14 inches of ground clearance and an accessory-friendly 900-watt stator.

A Jolt Link bus bar simplifies power connections for added lighting and trail equipment. A roof, half doors, LED headlights and taillights, backup lights, an NFC key, tilt steering, a 12-volt outlet and a USB port are also standard. 

A removable rear truck-style top is standard on both XFORCE models. 

Open Cab, Not Factory HVAC

Despite its premium interior and adventure positioning, the XFORCE launches as an open-cab side-by-side. The standard roof and half doors provide some protection, but they do not create a sealed cabin. No factory windshield, rear panel, full doors, heater or air-conditioning system appears in the announced standard-equipment list.

That matters for buyers comparing machines for year-round travel, dust control or cold- and hot-weather use. The X10 emphasizes suspension performance, power, cargo versatility and open-air trail riding. Buyers who consider a fully sealed, climate-controlled cab essential will need to look elsewhere unless CFMOTO announces another XFORCE configuration or a comprehensive accessory cab system.

12.3-Inch RideSync Touchscreen with Apple CarPlay

12.3-Inch RideSync Touchscreen

The center of the cabin is a 12.3-inch CFMOTO RideSync touchscreen. It combines vehicle data and settings with Apple CarPlay, Mapbox trail routes and a backup camera. A multifunction steering wheel keeps major vehicle and suspension controls within reach.

Electronic power steering has Auto, Low, Mid and High assist modes, allowing the driver to adjust steering effort and feedback for speed, terrain and personal preference.

2027 CFMOTO XFORCE X10-4 Front Seats

XFORCE X10 vs. X10-4

The powertrain, suspension travel, width and core equipment are shared. The main choice is between the more compact two-seat X10 and the longer X10-4, which adds a second row and more cabin flexibility.

How Much Does the XFORCE X10-4 Cost?

The four-seat XFORCE X10-4 carries a $26,999 MSRP, a $3,000 increase over the two-seat X10. That places it above CFMOTO’s four-seat ZFORCE Z10-4, but the additional cost buys a more adventure-oriented layout with a 500-pound cargo bed, 1,500-pound towing capacity, rearrangeable rear passenger area and additional standard trail equipment.

More importantly, the price confirms that CFMOTO is positioning XFORCE between conventional open-cab sport side-by-sides and the considerably more expensive factory-enclosed adventure machines. Buyers are giving up a sealed HVAC cab, but they are getting 154 horsepower, FOX QSE shocks, trailing-arm rear suspension, beadlock wheels, a roof, winch and 12.3-inch touchscreen at a comparatively aggressive price.

2027 CFMOTO XFORCE X10

Why Choose the Two-Seat X10?

At 129 inches long with a 99-inch wheelbase, the X10 is the more compact and agile version. It is 20 inches shorter, carries 264 fewer pounds of dry weight and has a tighter turning radius than the X10-4. For two riders who prioritize maneuverability on tighter trails, those differences are meaningful.

What the X10-4 Adds

The X10-4 stretches the wheelbase to 119 inches and adds a 60/40-split folding rear bench, allowing the rear passenger area to be converted into an extended, flat cargo-carrying space when the second row is not needed.

It also receives an adjustable front passenger seat that is not listed for the two-seat X10. The longer wheelbase should give the four-seater a more settled feel over whoops and rough high-speed terrain, although that comes with a larger 19.2-foot turning radius and a 2,380-pound dry weight.

2027 CFMOTO XFORCE X10 Specifications

Could an Enclosed XFORCE Challenge the Polaris XPEDITION?

The 2027 Polaris XPEDITION provides an obvious reference point for the XFORCE. Both are 64-inch-wide performance side-by-sides intended to carry passengers and gear well beyond a conventional sport UTV ride. However, the XFORCE arrives without the feature that currently defines the XPEDITION: a fully enclosed cab with heat and air conditioning.

That prevents the open-cab XFORCE from being a direct alternative for buyers who need protection from heat, cold, dust and bad weather. It also raises an interesting question: What would happen if CFMOTO followed the same rollout strategy it used for the UFORCE U10 and introduced an enclosed XFORCE with factory HVAC?

Such a model could bring two substantial performance advantages to a head-to-head comparison. The XFORCE produces 154 horsepower from its turbocharged 998cc triple, compared with 114 horsepower from the naturally aspirated engine in the 2027 XPEDITION. It also uses a more sport-oriented QuadLink Gen II trailing-arm rear suspension with 17 inches of travel, while the XPEDITION uses a high-clearance dual-A-arm rear suspension with 15 inches of travel.

Price could become a third advantage. The current two-seat CFMOTO UFORCE U10 Pro Highland with its enclosed cab and HVAC starts at $24,499, while the two-seat 2027 Polaris XPEDITION XP NorthStar starts at $40,499. That does not establish what a hypothetical enclosed XFORCE would cost—the XFORCE is a substantially different, higher-performance platform—but CFMOTO’s existing Highland pricing suggests it could potentially undercut the XPEDITION by several thousand dollars.

For now, an enclosed-XFORCE comparison remains conjecture. CFMOTO has not announced an enclosed XFORCE or factory HVAC package.

The open-cab X10 starts at $23,999, while the X10-4 starts at $26,999. Still, the company introduced the open-cab UFORCE U10 models before adding the Highland versions approximately seven months later. If that pattern is repeated, an enclosed XFORCE could become one of the most compelling challengers yet to the Polaris XPEDITION.

XFORCE Pricing Compared With the Original Open-Cab XPEDITION

When Polaris introduced the XPEDITION for 2024, it offered open-cab Premium and Ultimate versions without HVAC. These models provide a more direct price comparison with the open-cab CFMOTO XFORCE X10 and X10-4 than the enclosed XPEDITION NorthStar.

The Premium comparison is the most conservative. The two-seat XFORCE X10 undercuts the original XPEDITION XP Premium by $5,000, while the four-seat X10-4 costs $6,000 less than the five-seat XPEDITION XP 5 Premium. Compared with the more heavily equipped Ultimate trims, the price gaps increase to $8,000 and $9,000.

Does the Market Want an Open-Cab Adventure UTV?

The XFORCE pricing looks aggressive compared with the original open-cab Polaris XPEDITION, but Polaris’ experience also raises an important question about demand. Polaris offered non-NorthStar XPEDITION models without HVAC for the 2024 and 2025 model years, then eliminated them as the lineup shifted exclusively to enclosed NorthStar models for 2026.

Polaris has not publicly said that weak sales caused the open-cab models to disappear. However, their short two-year run suggests that buyers willing to spend XPEDITION-level money strongly favored the weather protection and climate control of an enclosed cab. That makes CFMOTO’s decision to launch XFORCE without a factory-enclosed HVAC option a calculated risk rather than an automatic price advantage.

CFMOTO may have a better chance of making the concept work because the XFORCE X10 starts at $23,999 and the X10-4 at $26,999—$5,000 and $6,000 below the original XPEDITION Premium models. The XFORCE also leans farther toward sport performance, with 154 turbocharged horsepower and trailing-arm rear suspension. Those differences could attract buyers who want more performance than a conventional recreation-utility UTV but do not want to pay for an enclosed premium machine.

Still, the XPEDITION’s history suggests that price and performance may not be enough. Buyers drawn to the adventure-UTV category may view a sealed cab and HVAC as central to the concept rather than optional luxuries. If that pattern carries over, an enclosed XFORCE Highland-style model could ultimately be more important to the platform’s success than either of the open-cab launch versions.

Initial Take

The 2027 XFORCE X10 is more than CFMOTO filling a gap between UFORCE and ZFORCE. It gives the company a credible entry in the premium performance-adventure category with the horsepower to be taken seriously and an equipment list that leaves fewer expensive additions for the owner.

The most interesting part is how little performance capability is sacrificed to add practicality. The X10 still receives 15/17 inches of travel, FOX 2.5 shocks, beadlock wheels and the same 154-hp output as CFMOTO’s Z10 sport machine, yet it adds a usable cargo bed and a legitimate tow rating. The X10-4 extends the formula with four seats and a rear cabin that can be rearranged around passengers or gear.

The obvious omission is a factory-enclosed HVAC cab. That prevents the X10 from matching the all-weather comfort of climate-controlled adventure UTVs, even though its power, suspension, technology and standard trail equipment make it a strong performance-focused alternative. Hopefully CFMOTO will follow their UFORCE U10 rollout and offer HVAC within the year.

Final judgment will have to wait until we drive one, but the announced pricing makes the new family even more interesting. At $23,999 for the X10 and $26,999 for the X10-4, CFMOTO has positioned XFORCE as a high-performance adventure platform that significantly undercuts factory-enclosed premium machines while including much of the suspension, technology and recovery equipment owners would otherwise have to add.
