Zontes 703 V Sports Cruiser Revealed
Zontes is working on an interesting looking performance cruiser that is built around its 100bhp inline three-cylinder engine
Zontes is best known for building cheap and cheerful bikes for the commuter and urban mobility segments. However, as its 703 F adventure bike proved, it also has designs to be more of an aspirational motorcycle maker.
Another bike the brand hopes can achieve this switch has just been revealed, as the Zontes 703 V performance cruiser has just been revealed. Utilising the same 100bhp, 63lb ft inline three-cylinder engine as is found in its adventure bike sibling, the 703 V is graced with some top-spec kit, with Brembo bringing the stoppers and a front fork that looks to be from Showa.
The numbers behind the bike look solid too, with reports suggesting an approximate ready-to-ride weight of under 200kg that should ensure performance is adequate, if not incredible. The price should be good too, with the 703 F ADV bike having a UK price of £6,995, if the same pricing structure is applied to the new cruiser it might be a bit of a bargain.
The 703 V will become the fourth bike in the inline three-cylinder range from Zontes, as it’ll join the 703 RR sports bike, the 703 R naked, and the already mentioned 703 F adventure tourer. Each of the machines utilises the same 699cc liquid-cooled triple (albeit in varying states of tune) with their own frames and chassis equipment.
