Hi all,

What are your opinions on the Zontes Model?

My Republic

Paul tan

the following information is from bike republic

QUOTE

With the influx of Chinese motorcycles to Malaysia, we wonder if another maker, Zontes, could be on the way, as well.

The Zontes website lists six models of motorcycles. Three are 310cc and the other three 250cc models. The two engines act as the platforms for the different models.

The first, called 310T, looks like a BMW GS at first glance. Indeed, Zontes positions it as a lightweight adventure-tourer. From what we could gather, it features an electrically adjustable windscreen, TFT screen, upside-down forks, and crash bars.

A second model is listed as the naked sport 310R. It looks like the cross between an MV Agusta and Kawasaki Z800. Its most outstanding features are the twin slash-cut exhausts pipe tips and sharp tail with embedded LED taillights. It too, features a TFT screen.

The third model is what looks like a sport-tourer called the 310X. Apart from the same componentry of the 310R, it has an electrically-adjustable windscreen, as well.

Yeah, /k rarely interested with new product from oversea. But thats alright, just asking.

As for the reviews from its origin country, i will read it with the help of google translate.

I am interested with this bike, since it is shiny and stylish, keyless and provide button for almost everything, from oil tank to seat. And the price is affordable, with the price range from 21800 to 24800 otr.

Well then, i guess i will go off to fb group and bloggers that have used the bike.

zontes in trying to be different..

channel the oil into the bike frame to help cool in down..

heat from the oil will make the frame hot.. n heat will conduct to other parts of the frame..

one owner frm local group is complaining bout the heat...

here zontes is giving misleading comparison between their engine n others..

in the pic it shows ordinary engine's crank n counter weight is like dipped/ immersed in a tank of oil.

in actuall, modern engines for eg duke 390.. it wasnt like tht at all.. even car engines the crank was not immersed like that.

purpose of no oil sump engine is for racing application, not really to reduce resistance of pool of oil as claimed.

If you are planning to put that kind of money why not bmw 310r or 310 gs? I own 310r for almost a year now. Bought second hand 2018 at 18k with 1500 kms on it. The built quality is simply superb. Even it will beat bigger and expensive bikes on quality. I had used a newer kawasaki 650 during my licence time and could see the comparison. The only problem is the first gear is tall. Only when you use it for sometime you will get used to it. Other than that the bike is a mustang.

Sigh... G310R facelift coming soon... Decisions decisions decisions..

Going back to the topic it seems zontes single arm is already here.. But only for the T1 and R1.. The X1 doesn't seem like a lot of dealers selling it (seen it once on mudah but that was awhile back)

Actually for me any bike would be fine (sbk, touring, naked, motocross etc) but should have:
1) looks good
2) got big storage
3) within 20k price range. +3 to 5k is okay with me.
4) honorable addition: a bike that suits my b full license drool.gif drool.gif

310T with top and side box will look soo nice. Without box, the bike looks so empty.

xmax on the other hand is already looks good and have large storage under it. However with box, it looks a bit weird.

Due to above conflict, still not decide on buying one.

this kind of bike where can find a lot of storage oh?people add boxes around, but it is annoying riding in city, top box affect the bike aerodynamic.
20k++ - <25k can find 2nd hand z650. if you dont mind older model, can get er6 at 11k-13k, but you lose abs, more heavy, fuel consumption, older design

Throwing some other bike in the mix because I'm also thinking.. Kawasaki Z300/ninja 300 is there.. Used Z400 is also in that price range. BMW G310R is also in that range used but new face-lift version already open for booking in India. CB250R. Sigh decisions decisions decisions
