Chinese brands are gradually penetrating the European market with their industry. Their presence is no longer testimonial, but they dare with such varied bets that range from fully equipped maxitrails to very good-looking sports cars, like today’s. One of them is Zontes, which has been present in Spain for some time, and One of its latest bets is the 703 RR, the Asian brand’s first sports motorcycle.
The Chinese brand has done a captivating design exercise. The Zontes 703 RR was seen at the last EICMA in Milan in November, and although they did not give many clues, they left us with the general silhouette of the bike, accompanied by a few technical data that help us get an idea of what it is. to come, revealing it almost completely.
The Zontes 703 RR, the brand said, arrives (rather will arrive) for “chase the stopwatch”. The visual appearance and position are eminently R, with a position that does not amount to an RR. We can see it well through the semi-handlebars. The motorcycle has a quite striking design, with sharp lines and two slanted headlights that draw attention in combination with four other lights that accompany the front fairing.
The bet ends with some ‘winglets’ on the front fairing, MotoGP style. Another different issue is their efficiency, because instead of allowing air to pass through, it seems to be obstructed by two integrated spotlights. In any case, the motorcycle combines a general black color with red details distributed throughout the sports car.
Depending on the brand, The motorcycle delivers 110 HP of power at 11,000 revolutions, and a torque of 75 Nm at 8,600 revolutions.. The mechanical heart is a 699 cc three-cylinder engine that will be shared by the rest of the range, such as the ZT 703 F, the trail model. The bad news, in quotes, is that it would not be a motorcycle that could be limited to the A2 license, a segment that is increasingly popular in Spain.
As for the cycle part of this motorcycle, We know that it comes equipped with top-level components. The front fork is inverted and signed by the Showa specialist, with Brembo braking with monobloc calipers and dual-channel ABS. It would also come with a semi-automatic ‘Quickshifter’ option as standard to up and down gear.

What we do know, and according to the brand itself, is that the motorcycles will debut in the European market “from 2024”. Yes, they mentioned that “Its launch date is already planned in all Zontes France dealers in 2024.”. We also do not know the price at which the motorcycle will be available, although we sense that it will possibly move within a price range that It will be around 8,000 to 9,000 euros in Spain, country in which Zontes is already the seventh best-selling motorcycle brand so far this year.
