703F Adventure debuts at 2024 EICMA
Adventure bikes continue to be the best-sellers among manufacturers. In 2025, Chinese brand, Zontes, will want a piece of that market share as it introduces the 703F Adventure during this year’s edition of EICMA.
3 cylinder power
Zontes is owned by one of the biggest motorcycle manufacturers in China and has reportedly developed and built the 703F in-house. Its parent company is Guangdong Tayo Motorcycle.
The 703F Adventure features premium equipment. Zontes claims that the new 703F Adventure was designed with adventure travelers in mind.
The frame is made from aluminum double girder and weighs only 11 kilograms. The engine is a 699 cc, liquid-cooled three-cylinder, producing 97 ps of power at 10,000 pm and 76 nm of torque at 7,500 rpm.
The new 703F Adventure also emphasizes the 21-inch front wheel and its rear 18-inch wire wheels for off-road use, while the fully adjustable Marzocchi suspension will take care of unpaved roads. The seat height is 845 mm, and the fuel tank capacity is 22 liters. Optional accessories for the new Zontes 703F come with a kit of three aluminum cases and a dash-cam.
Philippine availability
Zontes was one of the brands that used to be carried by Motostrada. The brand has since been dropped from its inventory to concentrate on CFMOTO, MV Agusta, and Peugeot Motocycles.
According to industry insiders, Zontes could be coming back to the Philippine market, thanks to a new distributor which is also based in Caloocan City. Negotiations are still underway as of this writing.
