The Zontes 350R rivals the KTM 390 Duke and BMW G 310 R in the segment. It's more expensive than the rivals
The Zontes 350R is sharply styled with an angular headlamp, a muscular fuel tank with extended tank shrouds, and a step-up style seat. The slash-cut exhausts do look very nice and the steep tail section misses out on a rear fender. The motorcycle gets all-LED lighting, slipper clutch, a 5-inch LCD instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity, keyless control, dual fast charging USB, a tyre pressure monitoring system and more. The fuel tank capacity stands at 15 litres.
