Quad News Hooked on CF Moto The new CF Moto X5 Quadbike boasting a liquid cooled 500cc donk is ready for you and your blue heeler.
Nic Wilke Quadsales is taking delivery of a CF Moto X5 500cc Quadbike shortly as a short term demo.
We're taking it up to the Kiewa Valley in North East Victoria, and putting it to work on a real farm. We believe that the best way to review a quadbike is in its natural environment. We're excited about this one, as it comes with a winch! Yep, a handy tool that we'll gladly test when we're out and about putting the X5 through its paces (which may get a little muddy). Like some of the CF Moto Motorcycles, this machine comes with Radio and MP3 capabilities. Perhaps we'll have the old 'Brooks and Dunn' cranking while getting dirty its natural environment and terrain.
Details below are from CF Moto Australia:
This workhorse is your friend on the farm. A rugged performer, the X5
has a list of standard features that would conventionally be offered as
optional extras.
Boasting a powerful 500cc liquid cooled engine and CVT (continuous
variable transmission) system allows for on call and manageable power.
To further enhance versatility, the rider also has the ability to
electronically select between 2WD & 4WD modes, hi and low rev ranges
and also lock the differential when extra traction is required.
A solid independent rear suspension (IRS) package help minimise body
roll and ensure a smooth and stable ride. The 18 litre fuel tank allows
the X5 go even further than rivals, whilst the front and rear racks,
rear tow bar and 2500LBS winch and welcomed and practical inclusions. A
rear seat rest, Mp3 player and FM/AM radio enhances rider comfort and
makes long working days easier to bear.
Supported by a two year limited factory warranty and nation-wide
dealer network.
