Zontes 350ADV vs Zontes 350R Comparison

The Zontes 350T ADV does look the part of a bigger ADV than it is. It has presence all right, and has the features and gizmos to give it some appeal at first glance. But for a brand which is relatively unknown in India, Zontes will need more than just face value. Better refinement, sharper dynamics and more capability can only help its case to some extent. the other challenge for the 350T ADV will also be establishing the Zontes brand. Despite its unique features, the high sticker price and limited retail footprint of Zontes will be speedbreakers that will need to be crossed.

The Zontes 350R is a naked-sport bike in the 300 cc segment and it looks like a much bigger bike, given its unique design. Now, it does get a bucket load of features, many of them first-in-class, but the dynamics could have been better. At 180 kg, the bike is not light and at 152 mm, the ground clearance is a little low too. The refinement and quality could have been better as well. At an asking price of Rs. 3.15 lakh (ex-showroom), it is expensive, compared to other 300-400 cc bikes in the segment.
