Ya bro.

Have not bought yet. currently still deciding whether to opt zontes 310T or xmax 250.

Already have enough cash to buy one of them, but still cannot decide.

then i would suggest you go for xmas..
after all, storage is your 1st priority.

maybe few years later, you can buy another new favor bike just for weekend ride

Went to see the Z300 but ended up being very tempted with the Zontes X/X1. This long weekend is going to be very long trying to figure out which I will bite lol

Err... Any updates on this?

I'm eyeing the ZT310-T1 model as not only it is the most affordable ADV bike, it is also the most suitable ADV bike for short people like me (I'm 164cm tall).

Im waiting for the dealer still..I expect maybe end of month I get an answer.. rclxms.gif

For your case, I think the T1 model is more readily in stock compared to the X1.. All the shops I went to had the T and had different colors available. So I think you wont face issue like me..

Good luck thumbsup.gif

Did you have a chance to look for the T1? I got my bike 310x1 now smile.gif

Just clocked 150km with it so far.. So still relatively new.. So far it's been great compared to my modenas V15. Turning feels very light and nimble. But its still early days for me.

Congrats on your new bike!

Had a look. But I haven't test ride it yet. Seat not that high and I have been informed that buyer could opt for low seat model.

Thanks smile.gif Unfortunately for me i dropped my new baby bangwall.gif bangwall.gif bangwall.gif Low speed turn and got a bit misbalanced sad.gif

Got some scratches on the fairing and broke my clutch lever doh.gif and a bit of scuffs on the mirror.. sigh..

anyways..I think that low seat height is only for T model right? smile.gif I didnt know they brought also that option here smile.gif i heard it was available overseas.. You can also ask if they provide the spoke rims or the same rims as the X.. if you really want to go offroad the spoke rim is the way to go (from what I heard la).. All the best man

Hey everyone! Long time havent logged in to LYN, and just noticed this Zontes thread.

Just wanna share about my Zontes 310 T1 spoke rim model after about a month plus of using it.. So far, im enjoying riding it! Its so comfortable, fuel consumption quite good too. Im using the bike daily FYI, to and fro work, errands, anything.

Long trips, managed to do a last minute trip to Mersing with my wife, we're from KL. 500km one way. Riding was a breeze, even wife didnt complain anything. We made 3 stops along the way, when arrived Mersing jetty, our butts werent sore, so that means the seat comfort is quite okay. Also, with 3 boxes, a rider and a pillion, I managed to get a top speed at about 164km/hr. I think can reach the 170 speed cut eventually, but perhaps maybe that'll take quite a while. But from 0 to 160, not bad for a 310cc bike with full load. Our combined weight should be about 140kg. Exclusive of luggages.

My decision to get a Zontes 310T, is because of the technology, and also my own fear of riding a 'big' CC bike. Its my first from a kapcai. When I first got it, it really is about as light as a kapcai handling wise. No 'culture shock' for me at all when I first took it from my dealer.

Currently my odometer is about 3500km. Did my second service already at Orange Bike Shop Kayu Ara. First service was in Sentul, the big KTM shop, corner lot. I know a guy riding the first model of 310T, clocked mileage of about 40k km edi. Asked him about maintenance and all, he said he just service on time. No other issues. There was this once his exhaust was leaking, but that was during 30k km. Good enough for its wear n tear for me.

Btw this youtube review of my bike was done by a vlogger that contacted me:


Anyways, theres too many things to share although the bike is still new with me, but just to share some tips:
- When you first take your bike, ask your dealer to change to a new battery for your keyless remotes(PKI / transponder). Youll be given two sets.
- Double check all the electronics. I have no issue with mine at all so far, but I did check them before taking it back home
- Other normal stuff to check like the keys for the boxes, coolant levels, oil engine level, etc.
