ZONTES IS A CHINESE BRAND that was brought to India by Adishwar Auto Ride Pvt Ltd. Among the five motorcycles that they have launched in our market, the Zontes GK 350 sports a combination of modern and retro elements that come together to form an attractively designed motorcycle.
The bike gets a round LED headlight with daytime running lights (DRL) surrounding it. It gets a flat handlebar sporting bar-end mirrors and lever guards, a well-sculpted fuel tank, and a single-piece seat that tapers towards the rear. Two really cool elements on this specific model is the use of 17-inch tubeless spoked wheels and the twin exhaust pipes. The front disc brake also gets a plastic cover around it. This is just an element to increase the overall visual appeal and you also get the option of three dual-tone colour schemes.
Good-looking motorcycle that grabs a lot of attention
While many café racers make use of clip-on handlebars, the GK 350 uses a flat handlebar while the foot-pegs are set towards the rear in a sporty position. The seat height stands at 795 millimetres, which makes it quite accessible even to shorter riders. The seat is comfortable while the riding position is ideal for commuting within the city. The GK 350 has a kerb weight of 188 kilograms, thus making it quite a heavy motorcycle to move around at standstill. Once it is on the go, the weight disappears and it feels easily manoeuvrable. Personally speaking, a slightly wider handlebar would have been appreciated.
