Chinese motorcycles are getting bigger, more powerful, and more high-tech. If the recently concluded EICMA 2023 was anything to go by, it’s clear that China-made bikes are here, and they’re here to stay whether we like it or not. Lots of brands from China showcased their innovations, and Zontes is just one of many that’s looking to make it big in the global market.
Zontes’ newest offering seeks to target the highly lucrative beginner-friendly middleweight segment in Europe, predominantly occupied by A2-license bikes. Models in the category usually have engines in the 300cc to 500cc displacement range, with the new 500 T taking the form of an adventure-tourer. Set to hit the market in 2024, the Zontes 500 T will be offered in two versions – one with alloy wheels for more road-focused riding, and another in wire-spoke wheels for better off-road performance.
