The new Terralander is powered by a 799.6cc V-twin motor, making it as one of the largest, most powerful and most sophisticated machine in the ATV world. This Bike is brand new for the forthcoming year.
CFMOTO is Asian company that specializes in utility quads with CV transmissions. You won’t find a 450 sport quad or a manual gearbox in the entire line. Until now, that line has focused on 500cc and 600cc single. The announced of this 800 cc joins a very elite group as a maker of a high-tech, big-bore giant. It has an eight-valve, liquid-cooled, SOHC V-twin configuration with fuel injection.
This particular machine is, of course, designed for two riders. As such, it has a wheelbase that is about 8 inches longer than that of a typical utility quad. There is a removable passenger seat and backrest, as well as elevated passenger floorboards and grab bars that are built into the rear luggage rack
So how’s the new motor? Great! It’s smooth, powerful and virtually free of glitches. The CF starts easily and idles evenly without the need for much warm-up. Like the company’s UTV that we tested, the fuel injection is impressive. There is no interruption or slip anywhere along the way. Most of the testing was done on hot days with the thermometer flirting with the 100-degree mark, and that kind of weather often makes a carburated motor run rich and dirt but not in this case. The CF Moto’s engine is indifferent to weather and elevation. It has a very satisfying feel too—big and rhythmic. It doesn’t buzz or vibrate also.
With the CF Moto, you get a lot of extras that don’t cost extra. The winch and the alloy wheels top the list.
In over-all handling, the CF Moto feels exactly as it should: big. It’s a massive ship that makes you feel more like a captain than a rider. Accordingly, you have to pick the type of terrain you tackle with, extreme side-hills and big dunes are a good idea on this quad, Having said that, the CF Moto does extremely well in all situations. There are two areas where it really excels. First, in broad, flat turns, it’s one of the most forgiving ATVs we have tested. It’s so long that everything happens very predictably. The rear end slides around easily with a little gas, and when you chop the throttle, it steps back into line without any sudden grabs or jerks. If the terrain has some light choppiness, the CF’s mass actually helps to keep the chassis steady and stable and the suspension is very good.
Another area where the CF was surprisingly capable is rock climbing. We discovered that the big two-seater actually had an advantage in rock steps and steep hills. It’s so long that the front end stays well planted where other utility quads get very light in front and even try to loop out. But, the CF will run out of ground clearance for the same reason—sheer length.
The main reason that most riders shop for two-up quads is because they want to share their adventure with someone. The two-up experience is great fun on the X8. The passenger area is very secure with well-placed handholds and a very cushy seat. It’s much thicker and softer than the front seat. The extra padding helps allow the passenger to see the trail ahead, which makes the experience more fun.
With a short passenger, the backrest is perfectly placed; it extends up to the shoulder blades for someone measuring around 5-foot-3 or so.
You need to choose your terrain with the passenger in mind. Everyone has a different threshold here. Some passengers have limitless faith and trust in their pilot; others are ready to bail out at the first sign of trouble. Either way, you should avoid certain conditions.
Cornering with two people is surprisingly easy. The 800 loses some of that easy, predictable handling, but it’s still very docile and frankly and much better

The fuel-injected DOHC singles in CF’s existing line show the firm’s competency in developing its own motors and reflect a certain amount of motor savvy. The 800 simply has everything. The continuously variable transmission is typical of this class of machine. It has high and low ranges available on a left-hand stick shift, as well as park and reverse. A double push-button controller on the right handlebar gives you the options of two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive or all-wheel differential lock.
The chassis is sophisticated in its own design. It has double A-arm independent suspension all the way around with adjustable shocks. The fronts enclose with piggyback reservoir dampers with compression and rebound adjustment, while the rears contain only rebound clickers. Braking is handled by triple hydraulic discs with separate control for front and rear. What really sets CF MOTO apart from existing machines is the long list of special equipment already mounted up and ready to go which includes a 1000lbs winch, alloy wheels, hand guards, and belly and A-arm protectors.
The quad’s appearance goes one step beyond acceptable; the paint quality and overall finish is excellent.

In performance, the V-twin is solid. It makes excellent torque at the bottom of the range and then accelerates in a very linear fashion all the way up to a wild top speed. It’s accelerating so hard that we
don’t doubt it could blow past the 85-mph mark.

To
make a summation of the X8 is a simple one. The motor in the X8 is a
cracker, the performance gains over any single cylinder machine are
immediately evident. The X8 is not pretending, this is high performance,
high class act. The level of confidence and reassuring refinement from
the suspension is impressive.
On
the other hand, value is what this company traditionally offers, the
price is about 20 percent lower than other companies in the same
category.
