Engineered by CF Moto for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2015 CF Moto CForce 500 pairs a 493 cc (30.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 32.2 HP (23.5 kW) at 6,400 rpm while maximum torque reaches 38.8 Nm (28.6 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 65.3 HP per liter and a 900 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (6,400 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the CForce 500 measures 340 kg (750 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.56 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 900 mm (35.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,290 mm (50.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
