With four wheels, they offer stability over challenging ground that motorcycles and traditional vehicles may struggle to handle. A quad bike like the CFMOTO CFORCE 450 is especially valued for its compact size, allowing easy manoeuvrability on narrow trails and fields, making it ideal for farm tasks and light recreational use.
