2027 CFMOTO XFORCE X10 and X10-4: 154 HP Adventure UTVs

The 2027 CFMOTO XFORCE X10 brings a new approach to the growing adventure UTV market. Instead of chasing maximum enclosure or pure sport performance, CFMOTO blends both worlds.

The new XFORCE platform combines 154 horsepower with long-travel suspension, a functional cargo bed, towing capability, and modern cabin technology. CFMOTO also offers two-seat X10 and four-seat X10-4 configurations.

More importantly, CFMOTO enters this market at an aggressive price.

The two-seat X10 starts at $23,999. Meanwhile, the four-seat X10-4 starts at $26,999.

That pricing gives adventure riders another option beyond increasingly expensive premium machines.

However, CFMOTO did not simply add cargo space to its existing sport lineup. The company developed XFORCE around a different mission.

What Is the 2027 CFMOTO XFORCE X10?

The 2027 CFMOTO XFORCE X10 is a new open-cab adventure side-by-side. It combines sport UTV performance with utility and overland-focused features.

CFMOTO offers two versions.

The X10 seats two occupants and uses a compact 99-inch wheelbase. In contrast, the X10-4 adds a second row and stretches the wheelbase to 119 inches.

Both models use the same 998cc turbocharged three-cylinder engine.

That engine produces 154 horsepower at 7,750 rpm and 107 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm.

Those numbers may sound familiar.

CFMOTO already uses a 998cc turbocharged triple in its performance-focused ZFORCE lineup. Our CFMOTO Z10 review and fitment guide examines that platform in greater detail.

However, XFORCE takes the concept in another direction.

Instead of focusing primarily on sport performance, CFMOTO adds cargo capacity, towing capability, recovery equipment, navigation, and passenger comfort.

Therefore, the X10 sits somewhere between a traditional sport UTV and a utility-focused side-by-side.

That middle ground could become its greatest strength.

154 HP Turbocharged Three-Cylinder Engine

CFMOTO powers both XFORCE models with a 998cc turbocharged three-cylinder engine.

The engine produces 154 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque.

A continuously variable transmission handles power delivery. Drivers can also select Comfort, Trail, or Sport throttle modes.

Those modes allow the driver to change throttle response for different conditions.

Comfort mode should make technical terrain easier to manage. Meanwhile, Sport mode provides sharper response when the trail opens.

Drivers can also select 2WD, 4WD, or locked 4WD.

As a result, the XFORCE can change its drivetrain behavior as terrain conditions change.

CFMOTO provides complete specifications on the official 2027 XFORCE X10 and 2027 XFORCE X10-4 model pages.

Long-Travel Suspension Meets Adventure Capability

CFMOTO did not give the XFORCE utility-grade suspension.

Instead, the platform receives hardware that looks much closer to a modern sport UTV.

The front suspension provides 15 inches of wheel travel. Meanwhile, the rear provides 17 inches.

FOX 2.5 Performance Elite QSE shocks control that movement.

The rear suspension becomes particularly interesting.

CFMOTO uses its QuadLink Gen II independent trailing-arm design at the rear. Therefore, the platform can manage significant suspension travel while maintaining stability across rough terrain.

Up front, the XFORCE uses independent double A-arm suspension.

The machine also measures 64 inches wide and provides 14 inches of ground clearance.

Those dimensions keep the XFORCE reasonably compact while preserving useful clearance underneath.

CFMOTO then adds 30-inch ITP Tenacity tires mounted on 14-inch aluminum beadlock wheels.

That combination reinforces the XFORCE’s position.

This is not simply a utility machine wearing aggressive bodywork.

XFORCE X10 vs X10-4: What’s the Difference?

The largest difference between the two XFORCE models comes down to passenger capacity and wheelbase.

The X10 uses a 99-inch wheelbase and seats two occupants. Meanwhile, the X10-4 stretches that wheelbase to 119 inches and seats four.

The two-seat X10 measures approximately 129 inches long. It also carries a listed dry weight around 2,116 pounds.

The X10-4 grows to approximately 149 inches long. Its listed dry weight increases to roughly 2,380 pounds.

That extra length creates room for the second seating row.

However, CFMOTO designed that second row around cargo flexibility as well.

The X10-4 uses a 60/40 split-folding rear seat. Therefore, owners can convert part or all of the rear passenger area into additional cargo space.

The shorter X10 should provide easier maneuverability on tighter terrain. Conversely, the longer X10-4 offers greater passenger flexibility.

That gives buyers a straightforward choice.

Choose the X10 for two-person adventure and a smaller footprint.

Choose the X10-4 when passenger capacity matters more.

500-Pound Cargo Bed and 1,500-Pound Towing Capacity

Adventure machines still need to carry gear.

Fortunately, CFMOTO did not forget the utility side of the equation.

Both XFORCE models provide a 500-pound cargo-bed capacity.

They can also tow up to 1,500 pounds.

CFMOTO includes a 4,500-pound winch as well.

Those numbers dramatically expand what owners can do with the platform.

Camping equipment, recovery gear, coolers, tools, spare parts, and hunting equipment can travel in the bed. Meanwhile, the towing capacity adds another layer of usefulness around camp or property.

The XFORCE also features a 900-watt stator.

That electrical capacity matters on an adventure-focused machine.

Owners often add lighting, communications equipment, navigation accessories, heated gear, and other electrical equipment.

Therefore, electrical output deserves consideration alongside horsepower and suspension travel.

An Open-Cab Approach to Overland Adventure

The adventure UTV market continues moving toward larger and increasingly sophisticated machines.

Some manufacturers have responded with fully enclosed cabins, HVAC systems, extensive electronics, and premium interiors.

CFMOTO takes a different approach with XFORCE.

The X10 remains an open-cab machine while still providing a roof, full doors, modern electronics, and substantial weather protection.

That decision helps keep the entry price lower.

The X10 starts at $23,999, while the X10-4 starts at $26,999.

That pricing matters in today’s market.

Higher vehicle prices and borrowing costs can dramatically change monthly payments. Therefore, buyers may increasingly evaluate how much capability they actually need.

Not every adventure rider requires a fully enclosed HVAC cabin.

Some simply want power, suspension, cargo capacity, navigation, and enough comfort for long days on the trail.

For those buyers, XFORCE creates an interesting alternative.

The 2027 Polaris Xpedition with NUMATIX represents another interpretation of the adventure UTV concept.

However, the two platforms approach the category differently.

We will explore those differences in a dedicated comparison.

12.3-Inch RideSync Display and Modern Cabin Technology

CFMOTO also gives XFORCE a substantial technology package.

A 12.3-inch RideSync touchscreen sits at the center of the cockpit.

The system supports Apple CarPlay and Mapbox trail navigation. It also integrates vehicle information and a backup camera.

That combination makes sense for an adventure platform.

Drivers can navigate unfamiliar trail systems without mounting several separate devices across the dashboard.

Meanwhile, the backup camera improves visibility around the machine.

CFMOTO also gives the XFORCE a roof and full doors from the factory.

Consequently, buyers receive many common adventure upgrades without immediately visiting an accessory catalog.

Where XFORCE Fits Between ZFORCE and UFORCE

CFMOTO now has three clearly different side-by-side families.

ZFORCE targets sport riding.

UFORCE focuses primarily on utility.

XFORCE attempts to occupy the space between them.

That distinction matters.

Our CFMOTO UFORCE and ZFORCE accessories and fitment guide already shows how differently CFMOTO approaches machines built for separate jobs.

XFORCE adds another branch to that family.

It carries more adventure capability than ZFORCE while retaining significantly more performance than a traditional utility machine.

In other words, CFMOTO did not need another ZFORCE.

It needed something different.

XFORCE appears designed to fill that opening.

Profiled Cage Design and Dirtbag Brands Accessory Fitment

The new XFORCE also caught our attention for another reason.

Available CFMOTO photography shows a profiled A-pillar rather than a conventional round roll cage.

That design resembles the profiled cage architecture CFMOTO already uses on several UFORCE and ZFORCE models.

Our IronSight Mirror-02 profiled-cage UTV mirrors already fit several CFMOTO UFORCE and 2023-and-newer ZFORCE applications.

However, we have not physically verified Mirror-02 fitment on the XFORCE X10 or X10-4.

Therefore, owners should not assume compatibility yet.

The rear cage presents another question.

Current images appear to show the rear C-pillar integrated behind molded bodywork. That configuration may limit traditional cage-mounted accessory locations.

Again, we will wait until we can physically inspect the platform.

Dirtbag Brands will update our UTV mirror fitment guide once we confirm dimensions and mounting locations.

Until then, XFORCE accessory compatibility remains unverified.

Who Is the CFMOTO XFORCE X10 Built For?

The XFORCE makes the most sense for riders who want more versatility than a pure sport UTV provides.

However, those buyers may not want the cost or complexity of a fully enclosed premium adventure machine.

The X10 provides 154 horsepower, long-travel suspension, cargo capacity, towing capability, navigation, a winch, and substantial standard equipment.

The X10-4 adds passenger capacity without changing the basic formula.

That creates a compelling combination.

CFMOTO has essentially taken performance-oriented hardware and wrapped it around an adventure mission.

More importantly, it has done so at a starting price below many premium adventure platforms.

That could make the XFORCE one of the more interesting new machines in the 2027 model year.

Final Thoughts on the 2027 CFMOTO XFORCE X10

The 2027 CFMOTO XFORCE X10 does not fit neatly into the traditional sport or utility categories.

That’s probably intentional.

Its 154-horsepower turbocharged engine provides serious performance. Meanwhile, FOX suspension and trailing arms give the chassis substantial capability.

Then CFMOTO adds a 500-pound bed, 1,500-pound towing capacity, 4,500-pound winch, navigation, and modern cabin technology.

The result looks less like another sport UTV and more like an open-cab performance adventure machine.

The $23,999 starting price makes the equation even more interesting.

CFMOTO has steadily pushed more standard equipment into lower price points. XFORCE now applies that strategy to the growing adventure category.

The real test will come once these machines reach trails, dunes, mountains, and garages.

We also want to inspect the new profiled cage firsthand.

Until then, the specifications tell an interesting story.

CFMOTO didn’t simply create another UTV.

It created a new category within its own lineup.
