If you're the moderator, simply put a stop to it...if you re not too busy sucking up to/protecting those who: 1) don't like to be questioned and 2) know that they can get away with crying about others who rightfully challenge whether the truth is being told or not.

It's your job if you're not more in to driving post count and/or traffic instead.

I rest my case.

I guess I don’t understand what you are so upset about..

NIKAL posted a write up (well written I might add), but he can only post his opinions on the car itself compared to past and possibly future things..

As far as delivery / pricing etc he can only go off what the mfg told him.

You may have some different knowledge or experience on that, which I look forward to understanding better where or how you are deriving that information..

I don’t understand how that difference of opinion to what a mfg told Nikal to what you have said changes in terms of different information to something more personal to not only him but now a moderator..

It seems like you have some personal investment into this beyond just the release dates and types of cars being released in the future..

What’s up?

It's similar to All Chummin's Fault best I can tell.

I think @NIKAL missed his calling; this article is as good or better than some of the magazine articles. Thanks for the update.

I do too.. I think it was outstanding.. I even like the questions surrounding it. I just don’t know why someone would get personally upset at him for relaying information that a manufacturer told him?

Something else they are doing different, or like Speed is they moved the turbo to the back side of the engine to reduce heat and noise.

Here is the bottom side of the radiator. It looks like its design also helps push air out from under the bed and across the turbo.

Regarding brakes, I was told it’s very good, and they were very happy with the motion ratio of the brake pedal. Speaking of pedals. I was told to sit in the car and push the gas pedal. When I did the pedal was pressed down and my heal did not move or slide forward. They designed the pedal motion to move without your foot or heal having to move, which helps with fatigue. Some UTV’s with hanger pedals you have to push your foot forward as you are pressing the pedal because of its location and pivot. These are details this team learned from the years spent at Polaris, Can Am etc..

Now for the things I did not like. Right off the batt, I did not like the fact I don’t see a place or how to cleanly mount a radio & Intercom. I feel like that was a huge mistake and I could see this discouraging someone from buying it. Especially in the South West as we all buy better seatbelts, and we add radios & comms. During my discussion it was said they could in the future add a radio and comm unit module behind the dash and you control it from you center touch screen. It was said this would be a fairly easy implementation once the module is designed. It just software at that point.

The next thing I did not care for was how small the rear storage was. It was Yamaha YXZ small. They do offer a spare tire mount, but like Polaris & Can Am, it sits pretty high up. And because the radiator vents out in that storage tray, I’m not sure I’d want a cooler or storage box mounted there. I can’t see drinks staying cold, and I’d be concerned with blocking air flow.

I also like & dislike how they get air to the radiator. Coming from the sides of the body, allows the ability to use a windshield, but I’d also be worried about it getting blocked with dirt or debris. But my concern could be wrong and only time will tell us.

Now some other cool info. First off I forgot to
mention this Z10 should be available to purchase in December, and or January. They hoped to have it in dealers already, but a few small improvements like the improved CVT cover, and some of the texture patterns in the dash & door panels were fixed or improved, cause a slight delay.

CFMOTO is not done with just this new machine. I’m told it’s just beginning. They have a release schedule to release a new vehicle every six months. This could be a motorcycle, ATV, UTV or something. And with everyone wanting a wider (72-74 inch) wide car and more power. I’m speculating we might just see that by this time next year if not sooner?

Also being this team is so experienced and came from the top other brands, I’m thinking we are going to see some very cool, and more affordable models to compete with the top brands in all categories. There new UForce U10 with enclosed cab, AC and King Ranch style upholstery is directly competing with the Ranger or Defender, but at a fraction of the cost. I could see them going into the “Expedition” market with a twist. Remember some of these guys designed those machines a few years ago. I was told it’s strange to see the Z10 coming out as that was so 3 years ago for these designers and engineers. While they are excited to see the first of many finally coming to market, they are currently working on what we will see from CFMOTO in 2027. I’m told to watch out as they are coming with some cool stuff, and CFMOTO is ready to play with the big boys in the industry.

Great write up. The SXSBLOG crew have driven both the two and four seater and were impressed by the performance and quality. This may be the replacement for my YXZ. Really like the rear radiator as I hate heat in the cab. Be interesting to see if they come out with a intercooled model.
