The new C4 and C5 models help reduce rider fatigue over long days on the farm or trail.
Building on its increasing recognition in the New Zealand market, ATV and sideby- side manufacturer CF Moto is moving to a more prominent site at National Fieldays, while also introducing a brace of new ATVs to the market.
Based on what we have seen from CF MOTO in recent years, backed by reports of market leading positions in several European countries including France and the UK, the new Generation 4 CFORCE C4 and C5 models have been developed to deliver improved capability, comfort, and usability for both work and recreation.
The new C4 and C5 models feature updated styling and ergonomics, improved rider comfort, enhanced suspension performance, and refined handling characteristics aimed at reducing rider fatigue over long days on the farm or trail.
CFMOTO has also focused heavily on practicality, with improved storage solutions, greater carrying capability, and a more intuitive rider interface designed to make everyday operation simpler and more efficient.
Taking a closer look at the CFORCE C4, an all-new 408.8cc engine platform delivering 33HP is said to offer smoother power delivery, lower vibration, and improved durability.
In turn, a high-efficiency CVT transmission is tuned for smooth low-speed control, towing stability, and reduced rider fatigue.
At the heart of the machine, a lightweight design helps improve handling agility, with increased suspension travel and a slimmer engine width, with improved responsiveness and fuel efficiency, while at the same time offering excellent utility capability with steel cargo racks, 612kg towing capacity, and a standard 2500lb winch.
Upgrades also include a more ergonomic layout with improved seat cushioning and intuitive controls, while a full LED lighting package includes integrated indicators and reverse light for improved visibility and safety.
The CFORCE C5 features a more powerful 498.6cc engine platform producing up to 39hp and 43.5Nm of torque for stronger acceleration and improved versatility. The CVT system has been tuned to suit typical ATV tasks, delivering smooth shifting, excellent low-speed cruising, towing confidence, and effective engine braking.
Configured for work capability with reinforced steel racks and multiple tie-down points, the C5 has a 612kg towing capacity and a standard 2500lb winch, making the C5 a true workhorse. For the operator, rider comfort is achieved with improved suspension travel, reduced vibration, ergonomic riding posture, a 5.9” LCD display, and USB charging ports.
Meanwhile, the modern Gen4 styling is paired with a full LED lighting and distinctive dot matrix light signature, offering improved visibility for early mornings of late evenings. Both series are designed for expandability, with CF-Connect accessory compatibility, Molle mounting points, and plug-and-play accessory connectors.
