Bought one in July out here in Spain, bloody marvellous motorcycle and superb value for money. I have been riding motorcycles for 45 years so have a fair idea of what’s good and what’s bad. This bike covers all my needs perfectly, good on the motorway, better suspension than my Himalayan and cheaper to run. So far no issues at all 2000 kms on the clock. This will change your perception of Chinese motorcycles 😎
Hello, I have a 310 T with 10.000 kms ! I’m in love with this bike! Price , consumption , motor, brakes, lights , equipment , I can’t see anything negative! The best 300 of the market!!!
@@brunolourenco-automoveis4056 OK.. The best on badjet maybe.. The best on market no.. Is different.. Anyway this bike gives a lot for the price and I hope that they will be reliable
Great no-nonsense review! Thank you for actually riding it and not simply reading from a press release kit. Your review was instrumental in helping me get over my Chinese made trepidations and finally buying it. I'm doing my best to contain myself during the run in period but so far I love it. Thanks again and keep your reviews coming.
Thanks for your kind words Alejandro, we really appreciate it! Good to hear you have gone for a T310, keep us updated with how you get on with it. Safe riding and enjoy! Brett
I really enjoyed your review. I've been watching Chinese bikes for at least 20 years now and I've owned quite a few. Until recently all we had really were cheap and cheerful underpowered 50-125cc copies, many of which would be unreliable and short lived. Now at last things are slowly progressing for the better. I have owned so far two bikes from zontes. First was a tiger 125. For the money a perfectly acceptable bike. My son ended up with this and the poor thing was abused mercilessly. He sold it on still running a year later. In the meantime I bought my second zontes, a s250 phantom. What a stunning bike. I bought it new in 2016 and I still have it to this day. I found the mirrors too short so I fitted risers and replaced them with new ones with built in indicators. I have done a lot of mods to this bike all Chinese to prove that they can make quality parts too. I have not been disappointed. Yesterday I bought my third zontes, well I put down a deposit. This was the r310, naked version in a fantastic metallic green and grey. When I have paid for it in full I plan to do a comparison between the two. Overall I am impressed with zontes. They are in fact quite a modern company and do four lines of bikes under the name Tayo.they have their own dedicated team of research and development and unlike most Chinese manufactuers do not make copies. Their factory is so clean you could eat your dinner off the floor. A lesson for the masses perhaps. Anyway again thank you for your informative review. Much appreciated indeed. Respect!
I've been riding the Zongshen RX3 (carburated) for 3 years now. Very cheap to maintain and I have done a lot of diy with it. But Zontes made me want to upgrade my bike because it improves all the weakness in my RX3. Zontes is lighter, consumes less fuel, bright headlight, excellent design, less vibration and modern tech. But I'll wait for a while to see what issue does this bike has. Excellent review btw. Subscribed !
Hi Faiz! Firstly thanks for your subscription and kind words about the review! Glad to hear you are loving your Zontes, did you go for the T310 or a different model?
@@BikeMatters Oh I haven't bought it yet. Just test drived it for a while and love it. Like I said, I will wait for a year a so for the community to built up and to identify what issue does this motorcycle has. If more good than bad, I'll take the 310T or 310R.
I wish I could see this bike in person. I've been riding Benelli (Chinese motorcycle) for 2 years now and I'm a fan. I used to dislike and distrust Chinese motorcycles but changed my point of view a lot since I bought a Benelli in 2018. Have you ridden a Bn 302? Is Zontes better in terms of qualilty and handling?
Hi there, we strongly believe that the days of Chinese manufacturers only producing unreliable motorcycles are behind us - there are some fantastic Chinese bikes on the market right now which provide people with a lot more options for better prices! We haven't ridden one of those unfortunately so would be unable to comment. We would definitely recommend you test ride the Zontes T310 though!
Great review I was looking at getting a secondhand Honda for my 40 mile round trip to work in winter to save my big bike for the best weather this fits the bill perfectly and looks fun to ride looks brilliant.
Excellent review! I wondered how it would compare to the BMW G310GS (surely it's competitor)? It certainly looks fantastic and also out-specs the BMW for a lot less money.Be interesting to test them side by side. Ride safe.
Hi there, thanks for your kind words about our review! We haven't had the chance to ride a BMW G310GS as of yet so it would be unfair for us to compare the 2 having not ridden one. However as you can see from the review, we are big fans of the Zontes T310 and think they have done an excellent job with this bike.
If i heard correctly from a vlogger, inside the Zontes factory they have a BMW that you can test ride to compare to their motorcycles. That is how confident they are. Vloggers's name is Zach Lucero from Makina.Ph.
I bought a new AJS Cadwell 125 in 2017, my second Chinese bike. Both bikes have been thrashed to death and back on a daily basis and just comes back for more. it now does 40 miles round trip 5 days a week And uses roughly £12 in fuel a week. It has just clocked 32,000 K.M's with few problems. I have been on Chinese bikes almost 6 years and have no problem getting another. I own a 1,000 cc twin Aprilia too but would cost me an arm and a leg to commute on it.
Excellent video. Not only on the visuals but the content. Please can you help us to know about it's behavior with the passenger on the back? Thanks mate
You are right about the comments regarding the mirrors. For tall riders like me they are no use. I ride a zontes 250 phantom with the same mirrors. I fitted risers and different mirrors. My phantom is approaching its 5th year and ive owned since new. Ive done over 12000 miles with no real problems
An excellent review - thank you. I believe Voges do this bike as a 350cc too. Have you ridden one? Much different from the 312? Was the 312 comfortable over longer distances - say, after an hour? Thanks.
As an adventure bike. I understand that it's A2 friendly but the 90mph top speed puts me off a lot. Single Cylinder with low top speed on Motorway? Please prove me wrong and I'll buy on this summer to go to Europe with
SO WHERE can you go anywhere near 90 mph in Europe unless you are mad, or always break the speed limit. Did you know that the average speed of all "Adventure" bikes from A to B is around 40 mph. In cities and towns 25 mph average. On rough terrain 30-35 mph. On motorways or freeways average is 55 -65 mph and at clear times 70 mph. So where do you need more than 90 mph top speed? Unless you are suicidal you do not need it. There, I HAVE proved you wrong. Top speed is the least important factor.
Awesome video , very informative I am in Panama city and about to buy a new bike and you made up my mind , I am upgrading from a Hofai 150cc . this is going to be my first super bike.
Hi you say you can reach the ground on the Zondes with ease, what size is your inside leg as i'm also 5 feet six but can just touch the ground on tip toe.
I have a lexmoto myself, another Chinese brand, and I watched many reviews and all gave it praise like you are now. The only problem I have is the gearbox and it not settling in to gears or just deciding it wants to go in neutral and stay there, you said you had in issue with the gearbox off camera, was that a similar issue? I’m worried it’s a thing with Chinese bikes as I was looking to get one of these but if this is a common issue I might have to go for an old Japanese bike…
To me yes it is a noticeable difference, quicker acceleration to 70mph and plenty of power there to keep on going to 90-100mph. This is a good point to judge acceleration... ua-cam.com/video/cJpyOKOjo-s/v-deo.html
I love this bike. First I was interested in the Benelli trk 502, then the CB 500x and then I saw this baby... Im 6,3ft. You think I would be fine on one of these?
Hi Tosta, yeah these are great motorcycles, and for the price we were really surprised at how good it was. Yeah you will be fine on one of these at 6'3 no problem!
Great looking little bike I've been looking into getting. Seen no opinions about being two up, any thoughts? New version coming soon with changing and colour display call the T2-310 maybe the bright light and speedo problem will get sorted.
@@BikeMatters this video shows the new screen. m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=461177617822898&id=246995555907773 Zontes Spain are just getting them in but only in orange, shame no black yet for me.
@@Irishrover1 It is definitely an issue I encountered, and I know of someone else who experienced the same. Glad you don't seem to have any issues with yours.
The only downside I've seen from all the review that i had visited for this bike are the Underpowered engine for a 310cc and the display wasn't too visible for some people, Zontes brand are lead by people who is like to innovate new tech so it's quite interesting to getting into it but let just say that there is still lot of improvement for them to maturing into, Just don't expect a level of yamaha/honda capability and I had seen a bike frame overheating problem example of their own liquid cooling tech on a different bike. For a bike that is place in such pricing and a spec that high, There is no complain for it but sadly it's just one step short to become the best bike in such an range, With lacking a Fun side of it... it had somewhat becoming like an Commute/traveling bike instead of a Fun Adventure bike
Hi Brett , great video and seems like great bike , so you got my interest. There seems to be some confusion over the seat height. I'm 5' 6" and the Zontes UK website quotes this as 795mm so that's good for me. The MCN Dec 2020 review quotes it as 795mm for the 17" version and so does What Bike Spring edition 2021, last bike featured inside the back cover. However , Moonraker Motorcycles website quote the 17" as 840mm , as do Lightening Storm Motorcycles. Does anyone know the answer / reality please ?
Hey Paul, Thanks for the comment - great question. I'm pretty sure the (older) version I tested was 840mm seat height - though I'm only 5' 6" myself and I got on fine as the seat is not too wide. I have a feeling the newer version has a reduced seat height. Our version is long gone, so can't measure the seat height for you, but maybe speak to your dealership and ask them to confirm? I'm sure Moonraker will be more than happy to help.
Great review mate, thanks a lot! I will be soon on the market for an ADV in the UK, but I'm a newbie to bikes. Looking for an adventure bike the choice is either this or the Honda CB500X. They say the CB has a great riding position, have you had the chance to try them both? Also, the CB comes with a bar where to mount phone or navsat.. Do you know if there is a way to have such perk on this lovely bike?
If only they made a 19 inches front version! I live in Italy, where the law doesn't allow you freedom with tires, and getting a sculpted, 50/50 tire on a 17 is impossible. Can't understand why, with another full-road version, Zontes doesn't make this one a 19er... As of now there are only 2 manufacturers with tubeless 19ers, and are Bmw and (finally!) Ktm. This way Zontes is renouncing to a big portion of possible buyers...
Parabéns pelo canal, estou bem entusiasmado com á possível vinda para o Brasil em 2021 á chinesa moto Zontes, em especial á Zontes T2 310cc adventure com roda dianteira 19 polegadas e rodas raiadas...🇧🇷👍👍👍
It might be OK, only time will tell but I'm afraid there's no way on this planet I would take a punt on that when for less than a grand more I could have a KTM 390 Adventure. Price point is way too high for them to sell many of these which is a shame...
Greetings, as i review your comment i just realized that the top sellers zontes benelli and everything else is about whats the price difference around the world. Example you said a grand more for ktm adventure but here in greece its 2 grands more so i understand now why it was top seller 2019. I really have to search for my new bike. The only bikes i can see under 5500 euros are mt03 , cfmoto 400 nk and 650mt bajja dominar 400 and zontes. What do you think about those bikes ? Yeah sure mt 03 is powerfull but its naked haha
未来的几年内将有大量的优质中国摩托车上市，无论是质量还是性能都将更加优秀。 In the next few years, there will be a large number of high-quality Chinese motorcycles on the market, both in terms of quality and performance will be more excellent.
Well, to be fair it is a budget adventure bike, there are elements of it that aren't going to look as premium compared to other bikes in this category from bigger manufacturers. On the whole, for the price you pay, this bike is actually a fantastic option!
Over half the components of computers, bikes, some cars, furniture, lights, and many other things are made in China. Almost everything you buy on Amazon was probably made in China. So what is your problem?

Is that the same as the cb500x just less capacity. I think the 400 makes more sense than the 500cc (471cc) if it's only making 47hp
is this bike for long life sir?❤❤❤
How does it perform off-road?
If it was a lower seat height I recon I’d get one seeing has its got a 5 year warranty. BMW 310 is made in India anyway.
I got on fine with the seat height and I'm 5'6
hows the brakes? front and rear? they say rear breaks are not so good. is that true?
It wasn't alarming to me personally, could be sharper, but I still felt totally confident with it.
nice job

If only they made a 19 inches front version! I live in Italy, where the law doesn't allow you freedom with tires, and getting a sculpted, 50/50 tire on a 17 is impossible. Can't understand why, with another full-road version, Zontes doesn't make this one a 19er... As of now there are only 2 manufacturers with tubeless 19ers, and are Bmw and (finally!) Ktm. This way Zontes is renouncing to a big portion of possible buyers...
They do now
@@mattbennetts5720 Really?!? Great! Hope they import it to Italy. What's not great is that now I don't have the money... BuhuhW!
Será que vem para o Brasil. ???
Does it have any reliable issues after 1 year?
Best look for owner reviews for long term
This needs a comparison with the sinis t320
We have asked to test the Sinnis Terrain 380, we'll just have to see!
Where is it made
China
Nice jakcet what brand ?
It is an Oxford Montreal 3.0 Jacket!
Interesting machine ,well specced etc,not a million miles away from a V-Strom 250 in price though.
in Greece they have 1500 euros difference which is a lot more than a months salary. So it's quite a lot.
Parabéns pelo canal, estou bem entusiasmado com á possível vinda para o Brasil em 2021 á chinesa moto Zontes, em especial á Zontes T2 310cc adventure com roda dianteira 19 polegadas e rodas raiadas...🇧🇷👍👍👍
nice video
Would be better if I was twin and not single cylinder
It might be OK, only time will tell but I'm afraid there's no way on this planet I would take a punt on that when for less than a grand more I could have a KTM 390 Adventure. Price point is way too high for them to sell many of these which is a shame...
Greetings, as i review your comment i just realized that the top sellers zontes benelli and everything else is about whats the price difference around the world. Example you said a grand more for ktm adventure but here in greece its 2 grands more so i understand now why it was top seller 2019. I really have to search for my new bike. The only bikes i can see under 5500 euros are mt03 , cfmoto 400 nk and 650mt bajja dominar 400 and zontes. What do you think about those bikes ? Yeah sure mt 03 is powerfull but its naked haha
Nice
未来的几年内将有大量的优质中国摩托车上市，无论是质量还是性能都将更加优秀。
In the next few years, there will be a large number of high-quality Chinese motorcycles on the market, both in terms of quality and performance will be more excellent.
if only they made a larger engine,
Preço Brasil

Gostei do vídeo,mas gostaria muito mais se fosse traduzido
Porra mano, aprende inglês, melhor
น่าขับเข้าไทยได้แล้วว
4K? Just too much
To be honest, I think the wheels looks cheap.
Well, to be fair it is a budget adventure bike, there are elements of it that aren't going to look as premium compared to other bikes in this category from bigger manufacturers. On the whole, for the price you pay, this bike is actually a fantastic option!
Lovely looking bike.. downsides... it needs to be a twin.. not single.. and its Chinese.... nooooooo
Don't knock it based on the fact it's Chinese, they are as bad today as they used to be and for the money this is a Fantastic option!
Over half the components of computers, bikes, some cars, furniture, lights, and many other things are made in China. Almost everything you buy on Amazon was probably made in China. So what is your problem?
Make the review after 5000km, I'm sure you'll have a different opinion!
Hey BikeMatters, what's with the crappy music at the intro of the video? You've never heard about actual real music made with guitars, keyboards, bass and drums? Or have you only been aware of computer generated garbage during the apparent 30 years you've been alive?
