Test Rideโ€”CFMOTO CFORCE 800 Touring 2025: A Giant Leap in the ATV World

Ten years ago, CFMOTO was seen as a secondary player in the ATV world. Today, thatโ€™s no longer the case. The brand has made huge strides in quality, comfort, design, and technologyโ€”its machines are nothing like they used to be. After riding the CFORCEย 800 Touringย 2025 for nearly 800ย km, Iโ€™m genuinely impressed by its evolution. While some popular brands seem stuck in time, CFMOTO has managed to innovate, offering well-equipped and enjoyable vehicles to ride. This ATV proves that the brand now rightfully belongs among the best.

CFORCEย 800 Touring Engine: Smooth and Balanced on the Trail

Itโ€™s powered by an 800ย cc V-twin engine producing 70ย hp at 7,500ย rpm and 51ย lb-ft of torque at 5,500ย rpm. It may not have the raw power of some rivals, but it delivers a smooth, natural ride. Acceleration is progressive, the OmniDrive CVT performs flawlessly, and the whole setup feels predictable and pleasant.ย 

Whether for long trail rides or work days, the engine always delivers. Three power modesโ€”Work, Normal, and Sportโ€”let you tailor throttle response to terrain and load.

Comfort and Power Steering on the CFORCEย 800 Touringย 2025

One of the CFORCEย 800 Touringโ€™s biggest strengths is its three-mode electronic power steering (EPS). The same three modesโ€”Work, Sport, and Normalโ€”allow you to adjust steering feel depending on terrain or load, reducing fatigue.ย 

Add to that a dual A-arm independent front suspension and an independent rear suspension, both with gas shocks adjustable for preload, compression, and rebound. The result? A smooth, stable, and comfortable ride that you can fine-tune to your style or trail conditions.

Modern Technology

The CFORCEย 800 Touringย 2025 features a clear, bright, and easy-to-read 7-inch TFT display, even in full sunlight. It also comes with LED headlights and integrated turn signalsโ€”a smart safety feature that lets you signal intentions clearly.ย 

One small drawback: the front and rear centre light strips arenโ€™t functional on the 800, only on the 1,000. A minor detail that would have added a nice aesthetic touch.

Ergonomics and Comfort on the CFORCEย 800 Touringย 2025

Despite many strengths, a few ergonomic aspects could use improvement.

A Brake That Takes Some Getting Used to

The foot brake sits a bit too high and takes some adjusting to. Maybe it can be fine-tuned, but as it is, itโ€™s not ideal. The hand brake may also feel too stiff and far for smaller riders, reducing ease of use.

Heated Controls Could Be Better

The heated grips and thumb warmer are great for winter, but the control button is problematic. The tiny indicator window is hard to see, and the colours are too similarโ€”especially with tinted goggles. The button is also difficult to feel and operate with gloves on. Integrating this control into the dashboard would have been much more practical.

As a passenger, I noticed another issue: my elbows often hit the rear cargo box while holding the grab handles, making the ride uncomfortable.

Storage Options to Suit Your Needs

Stock storage is limited to a small glovebox, which isnโ€™t ideal for long rides. Fortunately, CFMOTO offers a wide range of accessories and additional cargo boxes.

The large waterproof box installed on my test unit was particularly impressiveโ€”it kept gear dry even in bad weather. These options make it easy to customize the machine to your needs.

Towing Capacity and Off-Road Versatility

Weighing 458ย kg (1,010ย lb), the CFORCEย 800 Touring is both solid and reliable. Its 14-inch aluminum wheels with 26-inch tires provide stability and durability on trails and rougher terrain alike. It can tow up to 800ย kg (1,764ย lb), so you can hitch a trailer with confidence.ย 

A 7-pin electrical socket lets you connect trailer lights for safer travel. The front and rear racks hold 45ย kg (99ย lb) and 90ย kg (198ย lb) respectively, giving you ample space for gear on multi-day trips. The quick-release system makes accessory installation fast and easy. Three colour options are available: Lava Orange, Tundra Grey, and Forest Camo. MSRP starts at CA$15,399.

5-Year CFMOTO Warranty: Reliability and Confidence

One of CFMOTOโ€™s strongest selling points is its 5-year limited warrantyโ€”something few competitors match. It reflects the manufacturerโ€™s confidence in its vehiclesโ€™ reliability and gives buyers peace of mind.ย 

The unit comes with a full one-year unlimited-mileage warranty covering the entire vehicle, plus up to five years or 5,000ย km of coverage on the powertrain.

CFMOTO CFORCEย 800 Touringย 2025: A Pleasant Surprise Worth Discovering

The CFORCEย 800 Touringย 2025 marks a true turning point for CFMOTO. Itโ€™s nothing like the machines from a decade ago. This recreational-utility ATV blends modernity, comfort, and versatility. Its triple-mode power steering, intuitive display, and a wide range of accessories make every outing enjoyable. The 5-year warranty adds real peace of mind, and its strong value makes it an appealing choice for enthusiasts. If you get the chance to try it, youโ€™ll likely be pleasantly surprised. From the first ride, the CFORCEย 800 Touring stands out as a comfortable, capable, and confidence-inspiring ATV for every adventure.
