2022 Zontes GK350 UK FULL REVIEW 

You guys have no idea this company is a worldwide super star now. Smash hit. The level of quality they offer, the machining, the engineering. The styling, and designs. And yes gonad, puntang, and pocket friendly too!

I own a fantastic 310T2 and I agree, Zontes quality is high, very underrated bikes. Love the design of this 350 looks even better than all the 310 series. Looking forward to see and probably buy a 700cc Zontes.

Nailed the looks, impressed.

Lovely bike. Ive just read that the engine has a nickel silicon carbide plated aluminium cylinder. Thats a great engineering process in my book. This is a hard bike to fault ,its such a great bike.

got a lazy eye on these... looks bloody nice...now the speed restrictions in uk are getting lower..and fuel prices higher..smaller bikes are all one needs....i am 56 now and dont ride fast anymore because..i dont need to.. too much electronics on this for me i wonder how it will handle a british winter with gritty slimy roads etc.. and the only traction control i need is the throttle... i hope they turn out to be solid because a single cyl is lovely engine to ride and i can see myself plodding the b roads and backlanes on something very like this..

Nice review of which I have filtered back too on several occasions, currently have the ZT 125 G1 which is a superb bike if I can be as so honest which for a 67 year old rider and is again on L plates at the moment, have always had a love relationship for this style and make of motorcycle which has not diminished since the purchase of its smaller sibling. And yes I have drifted away and looked at many more well known makes namely the classic Royal Enfield range and others in that style. however this sprightly little 350cc has always been a top contender and no doubt I will eventually succumb to its looks and rideability for us older returnee riders..

I got the g1 after watching that video and I can't be more happy with it

The best review on youtube

Well aimed to compete with the Royal Enfield 350 bikes. And massively agree about the merchandise thing, good on you for resisting .

What a great looking bike! Excellent review & I wished they would come to Australian shores! Between this capacity or a 450🤔 That would be the sweet spot I think.

Dual USB fast-charger ports, back-lit switchgear, keyless control, TPMS, mobile connectivity and forged hand guards all factory fitted as standard. Most bikes at three times the price from Japanese, German, British and some Italian brands often feature none of those things as standard.

I sprayed my under exhaust with matt black paint ..hides it away nicely ...also i upgraded the front sprocket from a 14T to a 15T huge difference

Awesome! looking forward with Zontes 350 X if theres a significant change and improvement..im really into it. :)

Zontes every time for me, brilliant bikes

very nice hope to buy one next week

I have a 2020 t2x t310 , 18000kms 0 problems. No rust, works perfect. People usually ask me if its a +600cc bike lol.

Styling is a delight… things are turning back around on design.. Now bring back some 2 strokes 🤣👍🏻 great review!

This is a stunning little bike. Would make a really practical but classy commuter. How does such a cheap bike have cross-spoke wheels? Yamaha can't even put them on their Tenere 700.

competitors (: I enjoyed your vlog btw, lovely

I do like this bike, as could do changing down from cbr 600 , way to much power,,cos if you got it you will use it lol ,,,,,,vid was worth the wait,,,keep up your good works,.

Thank you for the review, like you said at the endof the video; i m considering ditching my Honda X11 for the Zontes GK350...seriously or maybe Voge 500 AC^^.

If I were going to use it for the scrambler it is, I think I would put more aggressive tyres on those spoked wheels, I can envisage myself stood next to this bike while quaffing tea noisily too.

This bike is gorgeous, I saw a zontes at a parking lot, the other day, and I stared at it for so long the owner came to see if I was a thief, 😂..shame the local garages where I live are still dinosaurs,they mostly refuse to touch Chinese motorcycles.

Why do I keep watching this bloody video, it's been seven times already

Zontes continues to produce brilliant and stunning looking bikes, just makes it more difficult to choose one. Personally being from the older generation I will go for the ZT G1 125 scrambler as it's all I really need. Brilliant slurping of your tea Mark, love it as you do, annoys so many others, my wife included.

Thsnk you for the content, Thoughts comparison vs honda cb300r, please

I just think I want one !

Fantastic bikes Zontes. I would like to see that engine in a faired bike which is luggage friendly; a mini Suzuki SV650 if you will sort of. Interesting to compare with the new RE Hunter. Hopefully the pair of them will drive some sales for those capacities slightly larger than 125cc. We don't all want 1 litre bikes that can do warp 8.

So far 7800km mileage, everything good for my GK350. Its the only chinese bike i owned so far where nothing rattlled loose 😂 i havent even needed to tighten any bolts yet. Its also the only chinese bike ive owned where i dont need to cover it with a bike cover when parekd overnight rain or shine. My other prior Chinese bikes cant get hit with rain, failure to do so would make their electrics go bonkers but not the zontes 👍 just needed to replace the keyfob battery 2-3 months or so but no big deal as that's easy to do and the batteries are easy to get a hold of.

Holy, i can see that Bajaj is going to buy this

im going to buy one . black/gold thanks.

Hi, merry Christmas, you spoke very shortly about mirroring phone screen, is that yet working or it's a project? Many thanks for your video

Que moto mais linda . Esse ia vender como água aqui no Brasil

Now if they stuck that motor and tech on something that looks like a bluroc hero 250 or mutt with a few custom touches and nice retro paint jobs i would have one.

Would like to see the zontes zt125gk☺️

Does it not have Bosch ABS? My 125cc version has them

Nice Bike. Its a Mix Of CF Moto700 CL-X style and Naked Bike

hii this is one of the best reviews about this motor cycle / can you giv recommendation about the zontes 350t19 ? basically they have the same motor but the front whell is 19"

Did you mention the oil cooling radiator!?

How about compare with cfmoto 300nk or clx?

I test rode one and I'd agree it's a very nice bike. Having said that it's not as exiting to ride as my Kawasaki Z400. I'd certainly say it's way more comfortable on longer runs than the little Z but for blasting around town and short journeys on country lanes the Kawasaki wins hands down.. The obvious comparison though would be with the KTM Duke 390 and I think there's not quite enough price difference (approx £500) between the two to justify the Zontes over the Duke? If you want something practical rather than something exciting then maybe this is the bike for you but I think they may need to drop the price a little. Oh... And I found that about 70mph was okay but much more than that and it was struggling. Top speed of 100mph... I'm dubious, but there again I was on a demonstrator so didn't want to thrash it.

Am i the only one that cant get his andriod phone to connect to the led screen ? Ive been told its an apple only system !

Nice review MftM ...You doing a review of the ZT125-GK mate ??

So happy to see this bike showing up greedy bike sales . This is what can be done 👍

Hi Mark,Another great review, I am now 70yrs young !!!LOL . I ride a Tiger 955i & as you say she is now getting a Tad heavy for me, so I,m thinking of a Zontes 350 not sure if a GK or the ZT any ideas ??? Have you a review coming for the ZT ?? More Tea any one ????? Thanks for all your great work . Regards Alan.

What a brilliant bike, but no centrestand.

Like the bike good review. I'm wondering if the spokes are stainless ?

Might be going from a G1 to this. My only gripe is want something a bit bigger as am over 6ft. I did 400+ miles on a trip to Wales on the G1 and needed reg stops as got ache etc..but otherwise was brill. (not fast enough in places).

What do you reckon, beginner friendly?

I haven't hear any one say potang since I way in the U.S. Navy back in the late 80s.

Hi Dear, please tell me it’s a good bike can I buy it or not

Wish I could get one of these in America. Aside from the Hunter 350 you don’t see many bikes like this.

I would have deffo bought a Zontes T310 Adventure Bike in 2021, but after waiting for a over a month from an email back from Zontes UK and another 2 weeks after that via email to my nearest dealer. 100 miles away..I got no reply from both, so i thought if they wont answer an email, to sell a new bike with all accessories included, then they are not bothered about a new bike sale so will they be bothered if i have a warranty claim🤔 first impressions were not good.. I emailed Royal Enfield UK about a Himalayan with extras and had a reply within hours, so bought an RE and love it! I have 3 bikes in my garage a 2021 RE Himmy, 2022 RE Interceptor and my wife's 2021 Suzuki SV650..I have room for 1 more..would love it to be a Zontes so i will maybe try again 😁 I gave up my 1000cc+ bikes after 32yrs in Jan 2021 (got bored with them tbh) and am loving the lower end cc bikes and the low HP, they are a blast to ride and have given me a lot of fun and excitement again 😁

I love the look of this bike. Will you be getting the 125 version in To review? I’m interested in the difference between the GK and the U1.

Ive got the ZT350 T17

Your 350-GK is in guarantee, there is a well known problem with some of the batteries! They should change to a new one if it is faulty... With no charge of money!!

I have the 310r and I find virtually no difference with the eco button either in terms of power or economy. So i tend to leave it in sports mode. Overall a good bike, punchy, light and economical. Well priced and a nice realistic every day riding machinecwith amazing looks.

What's the fuel consumption of this bad boy?

looks good, too bad they don't sell them in aus. 😃

Good review, I like the styling of most of the Chinese bikes much more than Japanese, you seem to get more bang for your buck, not a big fan of the front disc cover other than that though nice 👍

On eco and sport if you leave it in eco and rev it beyond 7000 rpm it will switch to sport automatically and then switch back 🤷🏻‍♂️

My 350 GK Zontes was bought in September of 2023' and it has 15.500 kilometers on it already, it rides beautifully! I love everything about it actually. Except the only thing I would change would be the seat, the part where it goes higher for the passenger, well if it was set back just an inch and a half. To be able to sit a bit further back would be great. I may just have it customed and as a "cafe seat" and to my specs in the future. The seat is so new that I'd rather not mess with it yet. Nice informative video, thx!

What do you think of the gear ratios 3rd & 4th also what was fill of the bike at 70 mph

It's great, but i need around 90 MPG

What I'd like to know is how they can get 39hp out of a 350 cc bike compared to the Royal Enfield's 350 cc bixe which have 20hp?

hi I just bought the same bike but my mirrors vibrate too much to see clearly, how can I solve the problem?

Have you tried or plan to test a svartpilen 401?

Il semblerait que Zontes travaille sur un trois cylindre de 700 cc

Negatives: unfortunnately Zontes still didn't solve one issue, came from previous models: we still can feel annoying vibrations from 60 miles/5500-6000 revs on the pegs, affecting also visibility from the mirrors. Other than that, amazing bike, with unbeatable relation of quality /price / specs. Very nice ride for daily commute

Can it took two passengers? Replayed please 🙏

Considerazioni che condivido pienamente, ho la GK 350 e anch'io ho notato solo la strana differenza fra la 3^ marcia e la 4^. Per il resto moto FANTASTICA. Forse con un pignone più grande si potrebbero raggiungere i 100MPH. Con la mia ho raggiunto i 163km/h, 154 con gps!

Agree, lose the brake cover, it looks a bit busy around and under the engine area. Saw a podcast on servicing these, getting a plug out is a pain in the backside. Was considering one of these until the Royal Enfield Hunter was announced now its a no brainer, Enfield looks miles better imo and easier to service. Yes Hunter is slower but it looks classy. Love the videos by the way, its the humour.

Hello. Quelle puissance maximale sur autoroute ?

I hope that's 188kg wet, or that's very heavy for a 300 class bike

The eco mode is deactivated after 7000 rpm ... that's why you couldn't see the difference

The only gripe I have with these Zontes bikes is the keyless ignition, fuel cap, and seat release. I believe there's nothing under the seat anyway, so surely a normal lock would do? I just have visions of it all going south out of warranty, and it's a bit gimmicky IMO

Love the exhaust. Not sure spokes a good thing. Over all though, an impressive bike. Should suit urban yoof and commuters.

7:19 - 🤣

I hope their 125cc scooter isn't vaporware.

how tall are you?

Unavailable in Ireland unfortunately

Keyless is a thing i do not like at all. hope they make a 350 G1 😀

Hehehehehe ...

Hi we are Royal Enfield and we have created a cool and dynamic road bike for the urban environment The Scram 411.. it's class leading! Zontes.... hold my beer!

To all my biker friends out there be it in the UK, US or anywhere in Europe DO NOT make the mistake of buying a Zontes be it a 125, a 310 or the GK 350. I had the GK350 for 2 weeks it's very attractive and it "apparently" has a load of features that you see on the big four but it is no more no less than just another Chinese piece of plastic crap. I began having small problems after a week and I have been a rider since 92, I had gone a few years without riding and fell for the Zontes charm, but I got rid of mine and got a second hand Honda with a warranty. Think of the Zontes charm as songs of the Siren from which the ancient mariners would flee.

Nice bikes but......why would you spend the money when you can buy so much better from respected brands for not much more

how much is the top speed?
