Finally, after much anticipation, rumours, gnashing of teeth, the 2025 Zontes 368G’s price has been announced in Malaysia. Zontes Malaysia puts the recommended selling price at RM28,800.
We have posted about the bike’s mind-boggling list of features from our test rides in Guangzhou, China, but here is a recap (the ones we missed are highlighted in bold):
- 368cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, single-cylinder engine that produces a whopping 38.8hp and 40Nm of torque. It takes the prize as the most powerful powerplant in the 350cc-400cc scooter category.
- Upside-down 41mm forks adjustable for compression damping and tension (rebound damping).
- Dual shocks adjustable for preload and tension, with remote reservoirs.
- 300mm front disc grabbed by a four-piston J.Juan radially-mounted caliper. J.Juan is now owned by Brembo.
- ABS is dual-channel but the rear ABS can be turned off for off-road riding.
- 790mm standard seat height. The owner can opt for the 770mm lowered seat height.
- Ground clearance is 180mm.
- Front wheels are 17-inches, the rear are 14-inches.
- Massive 52-liter underseat storage space that can take two full-face helmets. You can fit an adventure helmet (sideways) at the rear portion!
- Three. Yes, 3(!) USB charging ports.
- 8-inch colour TFT screen which supports connectivity to the rider’s smartphone and Bluetooth intercom.
- Two power modes – Sport and Economy.
- Backlit switchgear.
- Keyless ignition and fuel filler cover.
- Adjustable windscreen over 7 positions.
- Adjustable front and rear brake levers.
- Hand protectors are standard.
- Extra pair of footpegs for the rider to stand on when riding off-road (or if he wants to ride aggressively).
- Front and rear facing dashcam as a standard feature.
- Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
- Heated grips. Don’t laugh about this feature – wait until you ride at Genting Highlands in the rain!
- Crash protection bars.
There are three colourways, namely Grey with Blue, White with Gold, and Golden Stone Green.
