The Zontes ZT 703F is a crossover that we had the opportunity to admire a few months ago at Eicma, characterized by a 700 cc three-cylinder engine, shared with a sportbike, the ZT 703 RR, which we will probably see in the coming months. The debut in the “medium/high” sector of the market is made with all the ingredients: an attractive price, at least for the Chinese market, an engine with interesting characteristics, a complete electronic package, and a frame to match.
The 699 cc three-cylinder engine delivers 71.5 kW (97 hp) at 10,000 rpm and develops a torque of 76 Nm at 7500 rpm, while the declared consumption is 5 liters per 100 km, which, with a 22-liter fuel tank, guarantees a range of over 400 km.
The double cradle frame is made of aluminum and weighs only 11 kg, while the rear frame, made of the same material, weighs only 3.8 kg. The bike reaches a declared curb weight of 228 kg.
The 6.75-inch color TFT screen, which can be connected to a smartphone, also allows monitoring tire pressure, while the presence of a rear radar allows monitoring the blind spot. USB ports, Smart Key, front camera, nothing is missing in the standard equipment of this Zontes.
Marzocchi provides the fork and shock absorber, while J.Juan takes care of the braking system with radial inputs and 310 mm discs. The fact that it was presented at Eicma leads us to believe that its commercialization is planned in European markets, most likely at a price higher than the 6,000 euros required in the Chinese market, which, in any case, would remain competitive, especially due to its standard equipment and technical characteristics.
