The Motospring 2023 exhibition begins this week, opening on March 31 and running through April 2 at Expocentre on Krasnaya Presnya. Tickets are on sale, inviting riders, industry professionals, and curious visitors from Canada, the United States, and beyond to see the latest in motorcycling up close.
Among the standout moments this year are several first looks, including the official arrival of the Zontes brand from Guangdong Tayo Motorcycle Technology Co., Ltd. This new lineup has already been attracting attention in Europe, North America, and Asia, with riders in Britain, Belgium, Spain, Mexico, India, and many other markets taking note of its evolving reputation.
Zontes motorcycles are valued for delivering solid value, balancing price with quality in a way that appeals to both seasoned riders and newcomers. They provide an accessible entry point for new enthusiasts while offering performance and reliability that experienced riders appreciate, making them a practical path for those seeking a versatile start into more advanced riding experiences.
At the show, attendees can explore five robust 350cc models ZT350-X1, ZT350-VX, ZT350-T, ZT350-R1, and ZT350-GK, alongside two agile 125cc options ZT125-U1 and ZT125-Z2. Orders are being accepted on-site, with visitors able to review specifications, compare configurations, and discuss customization with authorized Zontes dealers who are present.
The engine lineup features a water-cooled single-cylinder design aimed at easy maintenance and light weight, contributing to nimble handling and straightforward servicing. Bosch electronic fuel injection optimizes performance and efficiency, while a dependable 10 Ah gel battery provides reliable power with longer life than traditional acid batteries. These systems are designed to perform consistently across varied climates, reducing the need for constant adjustments by owners.
Inside, riders benefit from a modern digital cockpit featuring a large TFT display and practical connectivity options such as a two-port USB hub for smartphones, action cameras, and GPS devices. A keyless engine start system adds convenience, and a suite of other onboard features comes standard on Zontes motorcycles, enhancing everyday usability and long-distance comfort alike.
Safety and ergonomics are addressed with rider-focused controls, including a configurable brake pedal and gear lever. A sliding clutch eases gear changes, while a tire pressure monitoring system and ABS on both wheels contribute to improved control and confidence on varied road surfaces. Fuel capacity ranges from 12.5 liters on the smaller 125cc models to 19 liters on the larger 350cc variants, enabling substantial range for extended rides and weekend trips alike.
Even at lower displacement, Zontes 125 series machines deliver notable performance. For instance, the light and compact Z2 and U1 models reach 7500 rpm with a torque peak around 16 Nm, offering more punch than some peers in the same class. The current lineup is available for order through the Zontes dealer network, while visitors can preview the models up close for the first time at MotoSpring 2023, where hands-on demonstrations and expert consultations await.
