CF MOTO 500-2A: modification features

The CF MOTO CF500-2A is a more advanced standard model. The new ATV has many changes that have a positive impact on the comfort of movement, but besides this, the technology has fully retained the advantages found in the base model. These are excellent driving performance, high power, as well as increased safety for both the driver and the passenger. The power unit installed here is the same, namely a single-cylinder petrol with a displacement of 500 cubic meters and a rated power of 32 horsepower. The maximum speed that this ATV can reach is 90 kilometers per hour, which is a pretty good indicator. The engine efficiency and 19-liter fuel tank allow the model to be used for a long time without refueling. This is especially appreciated when making long runs over long distances. The total structural weight of the ATV is 326 kilograms.

The SF Moto 500 model can be an excellent option both for extreme recreation, which includes off-road riding, and for performing some utilitarian tasks. The ATV has a fairly high cross-country ability; it is able to overcome snow-covered areas and impassable fields without much difficulty. As standard, the equipment is equipped with a comfortable double seat, allowing you to comfortably accommodate a passenger. CF MOTO CF500-2A also has a backrest for the passenger, special handrails and footrests. One of the distinguishing advantages of this machine from the basic ATV is the use of an extended wheelbase. This decision had a positive impact on many factors, including safe and stable control of the equipment at a fairly high speed.

Manufacturer

CFMOTO ATVs manufactured by Zhejiang CFMoto Power Co., Ltd are popular among domestic motorcycle enthusiasts. The manufacturer recently celebrated its thirtieth anniversary since the founding of the enterprise. In a short period of time, the Chinese company managed to occupy a serious niche in the domestic motor market and become one of the leaders in sales volumes.

Delivery and maintenance of equipment are not a problem, because there is an official dealer, which carries out sales and service through a wide network of showrooms.

The popularity of ATVs is due to their affordable price, high quality, effective technical service system and prompt delivery of any spare parts.

The Chinese concern also produces motorcycles and snowmobiles, offers various accessories for motorcycles and modern equipment, and also produces spare parts for all models. The company employs more than 1.5 thousand employees. There is a design bureau engaged in the development and improvement of ATVs, as well as the constant expansion of the model range.

The company has a quality system and also carries out incoming inspection of components and materials. The performance characteristics of the produced ATVs impress even the most demanding users. The use of high-quality materials and components, modern technological equipment and qualified personnel are a guarantee of the reliability and quality of products.

Types of factory tuning

CF MOTO 2A has a number of improvements to the basic configuration, among which experienced users highlight:

• Possibility of restyling the luggage compartment, reinforced and reinforced frames to match the vehicle. As a rule, replacing the trunk is possible only after purchasing the vehicle. Dealer networks sell ATVs only with a classic trunk, but you can replace it with models of greater width, length, with additional sides, etc.
• Modified handrails and armrests for the passenger seat for greater reliability. The very idea of ​​​​releasing a second model 500-2 is to produce more reliable transport, so the presence of larger and more comfortable handrails is completely justified.
• A number of models of replaceable and additional headlights based on a lens dispersion system. It is worth noting that in the classic configuration there is no additional lighting equipment. The manufacturer offers customers four-lamp optics, created under license from ProLight, manufactured in the USA or South Korea.
• New shock absorption system. The CF MOTO 500-2A ATV is positioned by the manufacturer as a professional equipment, so High-Quality shock absorbers from partner ELKA Suspension will make off-road driving more comfortable for both the driver and the passenger. Installation of hand-assembled ELKA shock absorbers significantly increases ground clearance and dampens pitching with uneven weight distribution.
• Installation of an additional pallet. Unlike the first version, the CF MOTO 500-2A can be additionally equipped with an all-metal bottom. This significantly increases weight and fuel consumption, but protects the device from unexpected mechanical breakdowns while driving.
• Replacing mineral and synthetic oils. The manufacturer took care of professional racers and experienced ATV drivers by offering the opportunity to replace fuel and lubricants on the model directly in the cabin. A number of professional motor, brake, transmission oils and coolers from MOTUL are offered to the consumer's attention. By default, the equipment runs on licensed CF MOTO G-Motion lubricants.
• Installation of body kits and additional components. The CF MOTO 500-2A is equipped with a durable winch in the front part, installation of an ELP gas generator with a power of 1 or 2 kW is possible at the buyer’s request.

Despite the fact that the CFMOTO 500 2A ATV has already been discontinued, most licensed tuning systems and improvements can still be found at official representatives and sellers in the country and neighboring countries.

Advantages and disadvantages of purchasing

Analysis of CFMoto ATVs, a real assessment of their advantages, as well as an analysis of the weak points of the design will help you decide on the choice of an all-terrain vehicle.

CFMoto ATVs have an attractive appearance

Let's start with the advantages, which include:

• attractive appearance of the manufactured ATV models, which are not inferior in design to products from well-known companies;
• use of high-quality equipment made in Japanese, German and Italian, which guarantees trouble-free operation of motor vehicles;
• the possibility of comfortable and safe movement of the driver together with the passenger, because all produced all-terrain vehicles have 2 seats;
• expanded equipment for ATVs in the basic version, including alloy wheels, winches, hand guards, cargo platforms and power steering;
• two-year warranty on all ATV models, as well as on components and power units, regardless of total mileage.

Important advantages are the ease of use of the equipment, a high degree of reliability, excellent quality, affordable price, as well as a wide network of service centers that service all-terrain vehicles at a professional level.

Speaking of disadvantages, it should be noted that this vehicle is not capable of replacing a passenger car with a closed body, which can carry several passengers and has a more spacious trunk. An ATV is also not always safe to operate when driving at high speed, which requires driver training and mastery of driving skills.

Reviews

1. I bought this one in 2015. The ATV is very good and playful, its acceleration to hundreds took about 14 seconds. Management is quite simple and convenient, maintenance will also not cause problems, but in financial terms it is quite a hassle. Equipment often requires replacement of consumables, the cost of which is sometimes not very adequate. Improvements will also be expensive, for example, I bought a 45-liter trunk for 7,500 rubles. An additional headlight cost me 4,000 rubles. The ATV feels very good on almost any surface, with the exception of the winter season. A small track has a negative impact on driving in snow, since the car can easily sit on its belly. Due to its low weight, the ATV cannot push through the snow, which is why it gets stuck. By the way, when climbing a hill, you need to be as careful as possible, because due to its torque, the quad can easily turn over; I once almost flew away.
2. SF Moto 500, in my opinion, is one of the best in its price segment. The device performed well off-road. Once, with a very good friend, we decided to go fishing, of course on an ATV. On the way, we came across a swamp in which this car could easily have gotten stuck. But still we decided to try at our own peril and risk. The wheels were almost completely gone, but that didn’t stop me from getting out of the swamp. The equipment was able to move out slowly but surely. After that, I really appreciated all its driving characteristics, which, by the way, are simply excellent. Another plus I would like to note is the excellent dynamics and traction force. Overall, I really liked the model.
