U10 Pro Highland a step up
A few weeks after driving the CF MOTO U10 Pro ‘entry level’ model, we’ve had a chance to test the range-topping U10 Pro Highland, with fully enclosed cabin and an impressive specification sheet.
New players in the NZ off-road market, CFMoto, have launched their feature packed, sports side by side vehicle, the Z8S.
The 800cc sports side by side (SSV) is part of a growing range of off-road vehicles offered by the global powersports manufacturer who have been producing feature packed, value for money vehicles for 20 years.
CFMoto New Zealand general manager, Dale Schmidtchen believes the Z8S will be well received by Kiwi’s given its competitive retail price of $12,490 ex GST.
“When you compare the cost of a Japanese 500 ATV which sells for close to $14,999, with a CFMoto Z8S side by side for $12,490 ex GST including a two year warranty, it’s a no brainer – the safety and versatility of a SSV should win every time,” Schmidtchen says.
The new Z8S will complement CFMoto’s Z8 EX model already offered in New Zealand for $15,065 ex GST ride away.
“The main point of difference between the Z8EX and the Z8S is the narrower wheel track which make it more trailer friendly,” Schmidtchen says.
“The Z8S also offers $2,600 worth of accessories such as alloy wheels, tow pack, roof kit, independent front and rear suspension and selectable 2WD-4WD modes.
“We hope Kiwi’s will respond well to the value for money this model offers and expect it will be a good seller for us in 2015.”
