Price Adjustments
Zontes has taken a bold step in revising the prices of their motorcycles, and here’s an in-depth breakdown of the notable changes:
Zontes 350R
The Zontes 350R, known for its striking design and performance, has received a substantial price cut of Rs 46,000, bringing its new price down to Rs 2.79 lakh. Despite this reduction, it still positions itself slightly higher than competitors such as the Honda CB300R and the Triumph Speed 400.
Zontes 350X Sport Tourer
Following suit, the 350X sport tourer sees a Rs 46,000 price reduction, settling at Rs 2.99 lakh. This places it in close competition with the well-regarded KTM 390 Adventure X.
Zontes 350T and 350T ADV
The most significant adjustment comes in the form of the Zontes 350T, now Rs 48,000 more affordable at Rs 2.99 lakh. The spoked-wheel variant, the 350T ADV, receives a Rs 42,000 price cut, making it available at Rs 3.25 lakh. Notably, the 350T ADV distinguishes itself by offering tubeless spoked wheels, a feature unmatched at this price point.
Zontes GK350 Cafe Racer
In contrast to its counterparts, the GK350 cafe racer retains its original price of Rs 3.47 lakh, placing it as a premium option when compared to competitors like the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401.
Comparison with Competitors
While the price reductions make Zontes motorcycles more competitive, it’s essential to evaluate their positioning against other popular models in the market:
- Zontes 350R vs. Honda CB300R and Triumph Speed 400
- Despite the price cut, the 350R remains a slightly premium option, emphasizing its unique features.
- Zontes 350X vs. KTM 390 Adventure X
- The price adjustment puts the 350X in direct competition with the well-established KTM 390 Adventure X.
