The 2026 CFMoto CForce 800 Touring is a two-up utility ATV with a dedicated passenger seat, 70 hp V-twin and ride-by-wire throttle. Its 799cc engine drives through an OmniDrive automatic CVT with selectable 2WD and 4WD. A 1,500 lb tow rating and 7.1-gallon tank support work and touring. The $9,499 price undercuts important rivals, but the machine weighs 970 lb. That mass and a 58-inch wheelbase make it less agile than a single-seat utility ATV. CFMoto also has a thinner dealer and resale track record than the established brands it challenges. Our guide to reading ATV and UTV specs explains how to weigh those tradeoffs.
The 799cc liquid-cooled V-twin produces about 70 hp. That is substantial output for carrying two people, climbing grades and covering longer recreational routes. It falls 8 hp behind the single-seat Polaris Sportsman 850 but exceeds the two-up Can-Am Outlander MAX 700 by 20 hp.
Ride-by-wire throttle replaces a direct mechanical connection with electronic input. The dataset does not list separate throttle modes, so this review will not invent them. Power goes through CFMoto’s OmniDrive automatic CVT, letting the rider focus on terrain and passenger comfort instead of selecting individual gears.
Two-up seating and rider responsibility
The Touring model is designed for two people. A raised passenger seat, backrest, handholds and dedicated footrests distinguish it from an ATV that merely has a long saddle. That proper layout matters, but carrying a passenger still changes acceleration, braking and weight transfer.
The driver should reduce speed, leave more stopping distance and avoid abrupt steering or side slopes. Both occupants need helmets, eye protection and appropriate riding gear. The passenger must keep hands and feet in their designated positions and follow the driver’s instructions.
Size, weight and trail suitability
The CForce measures 48.8 inches wide and uses a 58-inch wheelbase. That is only one inch longer than the Outlander MAX 700, but much longer than a typical single-seat ATV. It needs more room to turn and can be more difficult to place over sharp terrain transitions.
Ground clearance is 11.4 inches, a useful figure for moderate ruts and obstacles. The width may still exclude it from routes with tighter access limits. Buyers should check trail regulations before assuming a touring ATV can go anywhere a smaller quad travels.
Weight is the most serious limitation. At 970 lb, the CForce is 195 lb heavier than the Outlander MAX 700 and 180 lb heavier than the Sportsman 850. Recovery, transport and riding on slopes all demand respect for that difference.
Work capability and range
The CForce 800 Touring is rated to tow 1,500 lb. That is enough for many property trailers and work carts when the total load stays within the limit. It trails the Can-Am by 150 lb, while exceeding the Yamaha Grizzly 700 EPS by 178 lb.
The 7.1-gallon tank is a major advantage. It carries 1.7 gallons more than the Outlander MAX 700 and more than two gallons beyond the Polaris or Yamaha. Actual range depends on load, terrain and throttle use, but the larger capacity suits the touring mission.
The model image shows racks and a winch, but the dataset does not provide rack capacities or list the winch as a feature. Buyers should confirm exact equipment rather than assume everything pictured is included at the base price.
Who it is for
This CFMoto suits couples who want strong V-twin performance and a real passenger position without spending beyond $10,000. It can also serve owners who need rated towing and a large fuel tank for long property days.
It is a poor match for solo riders who do not need the second seat or anyone who prioritizes low weight. Local dealer quality should also be part of the purchase decision because service coverage varies more than it does for the largest legacy brands.
How it compares
The Can-Am Outlander MAX 700 costs $10,299 and makes about 50 hp. It seats two, tows 1,650 lb and weighs 775 lb. The CFMoto saves $800, adds 20 hp, 0.4 inch of clearance and a 1.7-gallon larger tank. The Can-Am is 195 lb lighter, 2.8 inches narrower and has a stronger established dealer and resale presence. Compare them directly.
The Polaris Sportsman 850 costs $9,999 and makes about 78 hp. It tows 1,750 lb, weighs 790 lb and has 11.5 inches of clearance. The Polaris is a single-seat machine, so it is not a substitute when a passenger is required. For solo use, its lighter weight, extra power and higher tow rating are compelling for another $500. See the full comparison.
The Yamaha Grizzly 700 EPS costs $10,499 and makes about 48 hp. It weighs 727 lb, tows 1,322 lb and lists EPS plus a differential lock. The CFMoto saves $1,000, adds 22 hp, 178 lb of towing and a passenger seat. The Yamaha is 243 lb lighter and brings a deeply established ownership record. Compare the CFMoto and Yamaha.
Where it sits in CFMoto’s lineup
The CForce 1000 Overland costs $10,999 and makes about 79 hp. It tows 1,600 lb, weighs 904 lb and shares the 7.1-gallon tank. The dataset records one seat for the Overland. The 800 Touring costs $1,500 less and provides the dedicated second seat, while giving up 9 hp and 100 lb of towing. Compare the CForce flagships.
Price and value
At $9,499, the CForce 800 Touring offers considerable power and a proper two-up layout for the money. Its tank capacity and towing add practical substance to the touring label.
The 970 lb weight prevents an easy value win, and brand support varies by region. A strong CFMoto dealer nearby makes the package much more convincing. Buyers without convenient service may find the lighter Can-Am worth its premium.
Pros and cons
The good: 70 hp V-twin, two-up touring seat, ride-by-wire throttle, 1,500 lb tow rating, 11.4 inches of clearance, 7.1-gallon tank and $9,499 price.
The catch: very heavy 970 lb weight, 48.8-inch width and a long 58-inch wheelbase. Dealer coverage and resale history are thinner than those of key rivals.
The verdict
The 2026 CFMoto CForce 800 Touring offers strong power, real passenger accommodations and useful work ratings at an aggressive price. Its large fuel tank makes particular sense for longer two-up rides.
Weight is the deciding drawback. If the rider is comfortable managing nearly a thousand pounds and local dealer support is good, the value is clear. Those who prioritize agility should choose a lighter machine. Add it to the comparison tool, or browse the full database by seats, power and towing.
