Zontes to Launch the 312cc ZT310-R Sports Bike in Pakistan

The Automotive Policy has resulted in many automobile brands setting up shop in Pakistan.

While most of the new entrants have primarily consisted of car manufacturers, motorcycle brands are also eyeing all the opportunities that Pakistan has to offer. One of those entrants, is a Guangdong-based bike manufacturer known as Zontes.

The company is a subsidiary of Tayo Motorcycle Technology Co., and specializes in making mid-tier to high-end sports bikes in China. It has started teasing the arrival of its ZT310-R motorbike on its official Facebook page in Pakistan.

The bike is sporty, exciting, and might be much cheaper than many expect it to be. Let’s dig in.

The exterior is impressive, and represents the company’s expertise in the design department. Chinese manufacturers usually take cues from other major brands before setting up their own products. The ZT310-R looks quite similar to the Kawasaki Z800 in terms of frame shape and size, as well as the aesthetic language. Though the company redid the headlamp to accompany its own brand logo.
