The all-new CFMOTO ZFORCE Z10 is built around performance. Its 998cc turbocharged three-cylinder engine produces 154 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque, delivering strong, linear power through an enclosed CVT transmission with selectable Comfort, Trail, and Sport throttle modes to match changing terrain and driving styles.
Equally impressive is the Z10’s chassis. A fully welded frame extends from front to rear, creating a rigid foundation that minimizes flex under demanding conditions. The integrated A, A-Plus, B, and C pillar ROPS structure increases torsional rigidity, while dual-shear suspension mounts and a reinforced front bulkhead help distribute impact loads and preserve suspension geometry during repeated hard impacts. Together, these features provide a solid platform for the Z10’s high-performance suspension system.
Complementing the rigid chassis is CFMOTO’s advanced suspension system. QuadLink™ Gen II rear suspension and high-clearance front A-arms are designed to minimize camber change and bump steer, while FOX® QSE (Quick Switch Electronic) 2.5-inch piggyback reservoir shocks feature electronic in-cab compression adjustment that allows drivers to instantly switch between Soft, Medium, and Firm settings from the steering wheel. The premium suspension system lets riders quickly adapt to changing terrain without leaving the driver’s seat.
With this combination of horsepower, chassis strength, and advanced suspension technology, the ZFORCE Z10 provides an outstanding platform for enthusiasts looking to tailor the vehicle to their own driving style. Recognizing that potential, Shock Therapy has introduced a complete lineup of premium suspension upgrades engineered specifically for the ZFORCE Z10.
One of the principles that has helped make Shock Therapy a leader in UTV suspension is its vehicle-specific approach. Instead of relying on generic spring packages or standard shock settings, the company develops each suspension system around the individual vehicle, taking into account driver weight, accessories, terrain, and driving style.
CFMOTO ZFORCE Z10-4: Recommended baseline for the factory FOX QSE suspension
Start with the Shock Therapy Stock Tune (STS Tune)
Not every suspension improvement requires new parts. In fact, Shock Therapy recommends that every CFMOTO ZFORCE Z10 owner begin by properly setting up the factory suspension.
Developed through extensive testing, the company’s Shock Therapy Stock Tune (STS Tune) provides a recommended baseline for the factory FOX QSE suspension using preload and crossover adjustments. By optimizing the factory settings, owners can achieve improved ride height, better suspension balance, and more consistent performance before spending a dollar on aftermarket parts.
For many owners, the STS Tune is the first step toward unlocking the Z10’s full suspension potential and provides an excellent foundation before considering additional suspension upgrades.
Recommended Shock Therapy Stock Tune Settings
| Setting | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Front Preload | 5.0 in. |
| Front Crossover | 7 1/8 in. |
| Rear Preload | 7.0 in. |
| Rear Crossover | 10 5/8 in. |
These settings are intended as a baseline and may be fine-tuned to account for rider weight, installed accessories, cargo, driving style, and terrain.
Building Beyond the Factory Setup
The Shock Therapy Stock Tune is designed to help owners get the most out of the factory suspension, and for many riders, it may be all that’s needed to improve ride quality.
As the vehicle evolves, however, so do its suspension requirements. Adding accessories such as a winch, bumpers, a spare tire carrier, roll cage, and roof, cargo, or larger, heavier wheels and tires changes the weight the suspension is designed to support. Likewise, riders who begin driving faster through desert terrain, tackling larger obstacles, or carrying additional gear often discover the limitations of the factory spring rates and suspension calibration.
That’s where Shock Therapy’s suspension upgrades come in.
Rather than replacing parts unnecessarily, Shock Therapy’s recommended upgrade path builds on the factory platform. It begins with a custom Dual-Rate Spring Kit to properly support the vehicle’s weight, followed by Adjustable Limit Straps to protect critical suspension components, the Ride Improvement System (RIS) to optimize the factory FOX® QSE shocks, Adjustable Sway Bar Links to increase durability, and heavy-duty Radius Rods and Toe Links for riders who regularly push their machines in demanding terrain.
Together, these upgrades create a suspension system that’s tailored to the vehicle, the driver, and the way it will be used.
CFMOTO ZFORCE Z10 Dual-Rate Spring Kit with Billet Reservoir Cap and Ride-Improvement System
Dual-Rate Spring Kit
Unlike many factory UTVs, the CFMOTO ZFORCE Z10 comes equipped with quality dual-rate Eibach springs from the factory. They provide a solid foundation with good ride quality and are designed to resist sagging over time while accommodating a broad range of riders and driving conditions.
For many owners, especially those running a mostly stock vehicle, the factory springs paired with the Shock Therapy Stock Tune (STS Tune) may provide all the suspension performance they need. As additional accessories are added, however, or as driving speeds increase and terrain becomes more technical, the factory spring rates begin to show the compromises that come with being designed for such a wide range of applications.
That’s where Shock Therapy’s Dual-Rate Spring Kit comes in.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, every spring package is custom-tailored to the individual vehicle, taking into account driver weight, installed accessories, typical terrain, and driving style.
This personalized approach allows Shock Therapy to match spring rates to the exact vehicle and rider, resulting in improved ride height, increased bottom-out resistance, reduced bucking, and a smoother ride over chop and small bumps.
Manufactured in the USA from premium CRSi spring steel, the springs are engineered to resist sagging and settling over time and are backed by a lifetime warranty. Combined with vehicle-specific spring dividers and industry-leading manufacturing tolerances, the Dual-Rate Spring Kit delivers a balanced, confidence-inspiring suspension that allows the ZFORCE Z10 to perform at its best across a wide variety of terrain.
CFMOTO ZFORCE Z10 Dual-Rate Spring Kit, Limit Strap and Sway Bar Link
Adjustable Limit Straps
Upgrading to larger, heavier aftermarket wheels and tires is one of the first modifications many UTV owners make. What often follows, however, is an increase in suspension loads that can accelerate wear on shocks and CV joints—making adjustable limit straps an important addition.
As the suspension reaches full extension, the added weight of larger wheels and tires places greater loads on the shocks and CV joints, often resulting in the familiar “clunk” as the shocks top out on their internal components.
Shock Therapy’s patented Adjustable Limit Straps prevent the shocks from acting as the suspension’s droop stop, helping protect shock internals and CV joints from unnecessary stress. But what truly sets the system apart is its adjustability. Because all limit straps naturally stretch during their initial break-in, fixed-length straps gradually become less effective and no longer stop suspension travel at the proper point.
Shock Therapy solves this problem with a patented adjustable mounting system that allows the straps to be easily fine-tuned as they break in, ensuring they continue to protect the shocks without unnecessarily limiting suspension travel. The billet aluminum clamp mounts directly to the shock without the need for welding, while a patented extension tether keeps the straps properly positioned to prevent interference with brake lines, sway bar links, and other suspension components.
Ride Improvement System (RIS)
The CFMOTO ZFORCE Z10 comes equipped with premium FOX QSE (Quick Switch Electronic) 2.5-inch shocks featuring electronic in-cab compression adjustment. Riders can instantly switch between Soft, Medium, and Firm settings using the steering wheel controls, allowing the suspension to adapt to changing terrain without stopping.
Shock Therapy’s Ride Improvement System (RIS) builds on that advanced foundation by optimizing the factory FOX QSE shocks internally while preserving their electronic Soft, Medium, and Firm adjustment modes. Through custom valving and component modifications tailored to each rider’s driving style and preferred terrain, RIS improves compliance over chop and chatter, increases bottom-out resistance, and delivers a more controlled ride throughout the suspension’s travel. The result is a suspension system that offers significantly improved ride quality and performance for both recreational riders and racers.
Adjustable Sway Bar Links
Built for strength and long-term durability, Shock Therapy’s Adjustable Sway Bar Links are designed to withstand the increased loads that come with aggressive driving and demanding terrain. Compared to the factory components, the heavy-duty design provides greater confidence and longer service life while maintaining precise sway bar operation.
Shock Therapy’s Adjustable Sway Bar Links utilize oversized 5/8-inch Teflon-lined rod ends—the largest in the industry and significantly larger than the common 1/2-inch rod ends used by many competitors. The larger rod ends provide greater strength and longer service life, while precision-machined billet aluminum construction, hard black anodizing, laser-engraved finishes, and adjustable lengths allow riders to fine-tune sway bar preload while adding both durability and premium styling to the ZFORCE Z10’s suspension system.
CFMOTO ZFORCE Z10 Radius Rods and Toe Link
7075 Billet Radius Rods and Toe Links
As the ZFORCE Z10’s performance is pushed harder, the rear suspension is subjected to increasingly higher loads from rough terrain, larger tires, and aggressive driving. Upgrading the factory radius rods and toe links provides added strength and durability while helping maintain proper suspension geometry in demanding conditions.
Shock Therapy’s Heavy-Duty Radius Rods and Toe Links are fully adjustable and machined from massive 1 1/4-inch diameter 7075 billet aluminum hex stock for exceptional strength. Premium 3/4-inch Teflon-lined rod ends—the largest used in the company’s suspension components—deliver outstanding durability and long service life, while stainless steel spacers and clearly marked left- and right-hand threads simplify installation and future adjustments. Designed to withstand the punishment of high-speed desert runs, technical trail riding, and rock crawling, the heavy-duty system provides the confidence to push the ZFORCE Z10 farther and harder than ever before.
