Typical asking price: $6,000–$9,000. This is one of the more reliable vehicles in its class — here's what to watch for anyway.

Kestrel Take

A big-bore utility quad at a mid-size price — CFMOTO offers a lot of machine for the money, and quality has improved markedly. The tradeoffs are a growing-but-thinner dealer network and less long-term durability data than the established brands. Verify local support.
