What’s The Top Speed of the CFMOTO UFORCE?

 

Speed isn’t the first thing that every rider considers when they’re buying a UTV. If you’re a big fan of UTVs, you probably know all about turbocharged beasts like the Polaris RZR and Can-Am Maverick R, as these vehicles were built specifically for tearing up trails at high speeds.

The CFMOTO UFORCE, though? While it's more of a solid, dependable workhorse, that doesn’t mean it can’t pick up the pace when you need it to. In fact, it holds its own pretty well.

In this article, we're going to check out what the UFORCE can really do in terms of top speed, what factors might impact how fast you can go, and what you can do to push the limits with a few tweaks and upgrades.

 

Overview and Top Speed of the CFMoto UForce Series

The CFMOTO UFORCE 1000 is no slouch, especially for a machine that’s built more for utility than for tearing through dunes. On a good stretch of trail or road, with everything set just right, you’re looking at a top speed of around 60 mph in Normal mode.

Switch it over to Work mode, however, and you can push that up to a solid 70 mph. Not bad for something that’s built to haul, right?

What’s really impressive, though, is the low-end power. The UFORCE might not launch off the line like a race car, but it delivers a smooth and strong pull right from the start. If you get the chance to ride one, you’ll notice that once you hit around 15 mph, the engine settles in, the ride evens out, and you get this nice, steady power delivery that makes it a pleasure to drive.

Here’s a table with the top speed of the other models in the CFMoto UFORCE Series:

Model	Top Speed
CFMoto UFORCE 1000 Top Speed	73 MPH
CFMoto UFORCE 1000 XL Top Speed	72 MPH
CFMoto UFORCE 500 Top Speed	35 MPH
CFMoto UFORCE 600 Top Speed	62 MPH
CFMoto UFORCE 800 Top Speed	65 MPH

 

Factors Affecting Top Speed

While the CFMOTO UFORCE can hit some pretty decent speeds, there are quite a few variables that play a role in how quickly (or slowly) you’re actually going to go on any given day. Here are some of the main ones to consider:

• Load weight: The more you’re hauling, the harder your UFORCE has to work. Whether you’ve got a bed full of gear or an extra passenger or two, all that weight is going to slow you down a bit. If you’re aiming for max speed, lighter is better.

• Weather conditions: Wind, rain, or even temperature can mess with your speed. A strong headwind can make it feel like you’re driving through molasses, while rain or slick conditions will force you to ease off the throttle for safety.

• Vehicle condition: Keeping your UFORCE in top shape is key to hitting those higher speeds. Worn-out tires, low tire pressure, or a poorly maintained engine can drag your performance down, so a little TLC goes a long way.

• Terrain: Smooth, hard-packed roads or trails are where your UFORCE can really stretch its legs. But if you’re navigating through mud, sand, or rocky terrain, you’ll naturally be moving a bit slower to stay in control and avoid damage.

 

Modifications and Upgrades for Enhanced Speed

 

Even though your UFORCE might come with some built-in speed limits, there are plenty of ways to give it a little extra juice.

Override Speed Limiting

If you’re looking to push your UFORCE a bit beyond its usual limits, there’s a sneaky little trick built right into the steering wheel: the override button. By pressing and holding the button, you can temporarily bypass the speed-limiting function and let your UTV stretch its legs a bit more.

To get back into normal mode, first, press and hold the button, then release the throttle. After that, press the button one more time, and you’ll be back in normal operation mode, ready to take on the next stretch of trail.

Before you go all out in override mode, remember to operate in this mode with caution. You’re giving yourself a bit of extra power, which is great, but it also means you should avoid riding too close to others. Safety first, after all.

Replace the Oil in Your Gas Tank

Extreme temperatures can really do a number on your oil. When it’s exposed to the heat and stress that comes with pushing your UFORCE to its limits, the oil starts breaking down faster than you’d expect. And when that happens, it doesn’t lubricate as well, which can lead to bigger problems down the line.

By draining out the old oil and topping up with some fresh stuff, you give your engine a better shot at living a long, healthy life. Plus, staying on top of this can actually save you money on future repairs and oil changes, and less wear and tear means fewer headaches later on.

Just make sure to see a mechanic who knows their way around a UTV.

Use Bigger Rear Tires

Another simple way to boost your UFORCE’s speed is swapping out your rear tires for a taller set. Bigger tires give you a little more height, which translates to more air pushing against the ground as you move.

It’s a bit like giving your ride longer legs. It can cover more ground with each rotation.

Check Your Belts

If your UFORCE isn’t hitting its top speed, a loose or worn belt could be the culprit. Your belt is what ransfers power from the engine to the wheels. When it starts to wear out or isn’t tight enough, that power gets lost, and your speed takes a hit.

So, how do you know when it’s time to swap it out? If you notice slipping, strange noises, or a drop in performance, it’s probably time to give that belt some attention.

 

Conclusion

So, do you really need to max out the speed of your CFMOTO UFORCE? Probably not, especially considering how fast it already goes for a utility machine. But hey, we all know that sometimes you just want to push things a little further.

FAQs

How do I open the hood on my CFMOTO UForce 1000?

Start at the front and slide your fingers behind the nose tab just below the badge. Once you’ve got a grip, pull the plastic cowling out from the center, then pop the tabs on the left and right sides.

From there, it’s a matter of pulling up while pushing forward at the same time. This will clear the bracket and give you full access under the hood. Easy as that!

What are the best CFMoto UForce 1000 accessories?

When it comes to accessorizing your UFORCE 1000, it all depends on where and how you’re riding. If you live in colder weather, you can’t go wrong with a cab, heater, or even a set of tracks to handle snowy conditions. You might also consider a plow to clear out those winter driveways!

For the general mod lovers out there, big tires, suspension upgrades, and sound systems are always a hit.
