Zontes, a brand of Guangdong Tayo Motorcycle Technology, has launched its motorcycle range in India. India has one of the world's largest motorcycle markets. In India, the Zontes brand has launched five motorcycles, all of which are based on their 350cc platform.
Zontes, a brand of Guangdong Tayo Motorcycle Technology, offers scooters, ADVs, semi-faired, street, cafe racer, and tourer motorcycles. For quite some time, the company has had its sights set on the Indian market. India has one of the world's largest motorcycle markets. In India, the Zontes brand has launched five motorcycles, all of which are based on their 350cc platform.
Zontes has partnered with Aadishwar Auto Ride India Pvt Ltd (AARI) for India, which also handles sales of Benelli, Keeway, and Moto Morini motorcycles. The prices for social media handles start at Rs. 3.15 lakh and go up to Rs. 3.67 lakh, according to Vikas Jhabakh, MD AARI (all prices ex-sh).
A 348cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a Bosch EFI system will power all motorcycles. This high-compression engine produces 38 bhp at 9500 RPM and 32 Nm of torque at 7500 RPM when combined with a 6-speed transmission. This engine is also said to prioritize fuel efficiency and low emissions while providing high performance.
The Zontes 350cc motorcycles will have similar hardware and components while differing in genres and styling. Front suspension is handled by 43mm telescopic units, while the rear is handled by a monoshock unit. It uses aluminum wheels to achieve the ideal balance of strength and lightness. All five motorcycles feature 320mm front discs and 265mm rear discs, as well as dual-channel ABS as standard. All five motorcycles also have 17-inch wheels wrapped in 120/70 rubber in the front and a fat 160/60 rubber in the rear.
A full LED package for headlights, tail lights, and blinkers is also included. It comes with four ride modes, a keyless control system, two fast-charging USB ports, and TPMS. Zontes also offers fully digital instrumentation, including a color LCD display with Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, notifications, screen mirroring, warning lights, and other features.
Zontes 350T and 350T ADV are ADV models. The standard 350T has alloy wheels and is more geared toward touring, whereas the 350T ADV has spoked rims. Both have a 19-litre fuel tank and a seat height of 830mm, and are expected to compete with the likes of the KTM 390 Adventure, BMW G310 GS, Royal Enfield Himalayan, and Yezdi Adventure.
The Zontes 350R is a sleek streetfighter with futuristic looks, a 15-liter fuel tank, and a low 795mm seat height that competes with the KTM 390 Duke, BMW G 310 R, and others. The Zontes 350X is a fully faired tourer with optional touring accessories and a 19-litre fuel tank. This sporty tourer will face competition from the TVS Apache RR 310, the upcoming BMW 310 RR, and the Kawasaki Ninja 300.
Finally, there's the Zontes GK350, a cafe racer-style motorcycle that's probably the most attractive of the bunch. It features round LED DRLs, bar end round mirrors, spoked wheels, and a modern-retro aesthetic. This model will compete with the Royal Enfield Scram 411 and the Yezdi Scrambler.
Zontes 350R is priced at Rs. 3.15 lakh in India for the Blue shade, and Rs. 3.25 lakh for the Black and White shades. The Zontes 350X starts at Rs. 3.35 lakh for Black & Gold, and Rs. 3.45 lakh for Silver & Orange and Black & Green. Cafe Racer Zontes GK350 prices start at Rs. 3.37 lakh for Black & Blue, and Rs. 3.47 lakh for Black & Gold and White & Orange. The Zontes 350T is available in only two colors: orange (starting at Rs. 3.37 lakh) and champagne (starting at Rs. 3.47 lakh). Finally, the 350T ADV costs Rs. 3.57 lakh in Orange and Rs. 3.67 lakh in Champagne (all prices ex-sh).
