Zontes 350R

The 350R is a street/naked motorcycle and looks like a thoroughbred. It is pretty bulky to behold and that's always a good thing in the premium motorcycle space.

While the Blue shade costs Rs 3,15,000, the other two colour options retail at Rs 3.25 lakh, ex-showroom.

The Zontes 350X is a sports tourer and certainly looks the part. The fairing makes it look sporty while the very European-looking LED headlamp up front and the tall windscreen complete the design and styling. It is available in three colour options.

Zontes 350T

The Zontes 350T is a road-biased tourer that looks very much like an adventure motorcycle but is catered more for road-based usage. The large windscreen up front is electronically adjustable, which is a segment-first feature. It looks great and increases competition in the segment.

The Zontes 350T is available in just two colour options. The Orange shade is priced at Rs 3,37,000 while the Champagne colour option retails at Rs 3,47,000.

Zontes 350T ADV

This is currently the flagship of the Zontes range in India. It is a proper adventure motorcycle and looks brilliant. It does look and feel like a proper full-size ADV and that alone should get it to sell well. The 350T ADV also gets an electronically-adjustable windscreen up front.

Thoughts On Zontes Launching Five 350cc Motorcycles In India

Zontes' motorcycles make a compelling case for themselves. All of them look great and don't really look like other 'Chinese' motorcycles. The features list is great too, however, the engine could have been a little more powerful to give it that advantage over the competition.

Zontes will be going against the likes of KTM, Kawasaki, BMW Motorrad, and to an extent even Bajaj. In terms of pricing too, the Zontes offerings are more expensive when compared to its competition. Only time will tell if Zontes will manage to sell lots of motorcycles in the world's largest motorcycle market.
