Why buy the U10 Pro from Empire

The most equipment for the money in the full-size work class — and the lowest price on the lot.

✓
Lowest price, most standard kit. $17,499 with a 4,500-lb winch and 8″ RideSync touchscreen standard — features that cost extra on the others.
✓
More power than the mainstream trio. 88 hp from the inline-triple beats the Can-Am (82), Polaris (82) and Honda (~72).
✓
Full-size work capability. 2,500-lb towing and a 1,000-lb dump bed — right there with the class on the numbers that matter for work.
●
Straight talk. The Kawasaki Ridge makes more power (116 hp) and carries a 3-year warranty; Can-Am, Polaris and Honda have deeper dealer networks and long reliability records. The U10 Pro is the value play, not the premium badge.

Built for real work here. The workhorse for the acreage and the woodlot, and for hauling out of the Colville when hunting season comes around — full-size towing and a dump bed without the full-size price.

And the price is the price. Our advertised number already includes freight, setup and our documentation fee — only sales tax and title/registration are added.

Detailed spec rows were taken from each manufacturer’s own published sheet on September 10, 2026: CFMOTO’s official 2026 Off-Road Product Guide (the Turf / R-Lock rear-differential switch is documented in CFMOTO’s official 2026 U10 owner’s manual), Can-Am’s MY2026 Defender DPS HD10 spec sheet (Can-Am’s MY2027 lineup moves the HD10 engine from the DPS trim to the separate DPS CAB trim), Polaris’s MY2027 Ranger XP 1000 spec page, Honda’s 2026 Pioneer 1000-5 Deluxe spec page, and Kawasaki’s 2026 RIDGE spec page. Polaris and Honda publish no torque figure for these models; Kawasaki rates horsepower per ISO 4106, which can read higher than SAE. Other figures are from manufacturer and published sources; competitor specs and prices are approximate, vary by trim and market, and should be verified before purchase.

Wonderful experience. Just bought my second bike from them. Very helpful. I don't think I will go anywhere else 😃

— Bill Gilchrist

Bought a new SxS from Empire. There was no sales pressure whatsoever. The employees we talked to were all kind and helpful. They gave us a thorough walk-through on the machine. Empire installed accessories and delivered the rig the same day. The showroom is very clean and organized. The prices on the used bikes out front seemed really good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If I could give Empire Cycle more than five stars, I would. My situation was a little unusual, and buying my new UTV ended up being a process that stretched across THREE DAYS. Through every bit of it, Joe, my salesperson, and Kristin, the owner, were absolutely incredible. Not once did I feel rushed, pressured, or treated like I was an inconvenience. They worked with me while I paid for the machine over several days, and even after my UTV was completely paid for, they had no problem keeping it safely at the dealership while I secured and purchased the right trailer to get it home. As a veteran, one thing really stood out to me. Spokane is a military community with Fairchild AFB right down the road, and unfortunately there are businesses where seeing a service member can sometimes mean seeing dollar signs. That was absolutely NOT my experience at Empire. I was treated with genuine respect, thanked multiple times for my service, and they gave me a very generous veteran discount. It felt sincere, not like a sales pitch. But what happened when I finally picked up my UTV really sealed the deal for me. I showed up with my brand-new trailer, and Kristin — the OWNER of Empire Cycle — personally came outside to help me. Not somebody she sent from the sales floor. Not somebody from the parts counter. The owner. She carried out the straps, drove my UTV onto my trailer for me, and then stood there and walked me through properly securing my new machine using some absolutely awesome straps they carry at Empire. She made sure I was comfortable with everything before I headed down the road with my new precious cargo. THAT is customer service. I was fortunate enough to purchase my machine outright, but I also appreciated that Empire has financing options for people who want a machine like this but understandably can’t drop tens of thousands of dollars all at once. Regardless of how you’re paying, I never got the impression that the size of the sale determined how you were treated. Empire Cycle has earned a very loyal customer. I live about THREE HOURS from Spokane, and after this experience, I would rather make that drive than buy from somewhere closer. When I need parts, accessories, another machine, or anything else they can help me with, Empire will be my first call. Joe and Kristin — thank you for making what could have been a stressful and complicated purchase into such a great experience. I absolutely LOVE my new machine. And yes… I got the free Empire hat AND T-shirt. 😂 You guys earned a customer for life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had an excellent buying experience at Empire Cycle & Powersports. There was no haggling and no sales pressure and our purchase went smoothly and quickly. They even delivered our new side-by-side to our house within a few hours. We're very happy with the way it went. 10/10!

My friends and I have bought several motorcycles from here over the last few years. I went in again this last weekend to look at the new Trident 800 and compare it to some of the other comparable bikes out there on the market. My experience here was amazing! It was no pressure, and I was given plenty of space to look at things at my own pace. When it came to numbers and purchasing the motorcycle it was all very upfront and no nonsense. I visited another large motorcycle/power-sports dealer in Spokane after visiting Empire cycle and had the complete opposite experience. I had a sales guy trying to get me to commit to hand written numbers on a peace of paper. When I asked questions about the numbers, because they didn’t add up, he couldn’t answer them. I asked if they could just print the numbers out from a computer and I was told they don’t do that. only to have another guy walk out later with an actual printout. I immediately went back to Empire to purchase my motorcycle. You will absolutely not deal with crap like that at Empire Cycle. Go there, find something you’ll love, get treated correctly. Enjoy!
