Zontes ZT 125-U1 Motorcycle Review!

Is this bike suitable for long tours? The situation would be long rides, sometimes on Highway sometimes off-road. Since it is a keyless bike, how good does it handle against some not-dry situations, performance as well as circuitry wise. Will the PKE hold against harsh weather conditions?

I’m very close to pulling the trigger on this bike I’m just not sure about the ride height I’m 5.6ft and a new rider.

neutral gear is really hard to catch up on this bike. need be very gentle. sometimes having hard time doing that.

My second 125, 4,000 miles on it so far and it's great! The 'light' switch on the right turns the button illumination on/off.

Is this reliable?

is it just me or, if you put some road tyres on that bike and it's just a low seat (800mm seat height) supermoto?

Can you do a Review on the Aprilia SR GT 125

What do you think the low gears would be like on a reasonably dry green lane?
I'd love to test ride one as I ride a big old & heavy Motor Guzzi V50 at the moment

This is my dream bike I’ve, I’m 16 at the moment I ride a 50cc lexmoto when I’m 17 I’m gonna get this bike.

I love my u1 125, I drive her in Valencia and she is so compact and light. I'm 170 cm tall and I can tip toe both feet or flat 1 foot. One question though, what is that whirling sound while driving? I was wondering if my bike was damaged but you have it too

What I like about Zontes 125 cc bikes is size of fueltank with factory crash bars. Together with low consumtion these seems like nice choice for slow exploring without worry of running out of fuel or destroying it, if you drop it. Only things which would worry me if we speak about exploring is exhaust height.

I just got one

A truly excellent review. Which is greatly appreciated. Thank you

RIP your nuts if you take that green laning.

Like it, it's the same colour scheme as my bike.

Something i wish the US had was more 125 really the only game in town here is Honda with the Grom and that bike is way too small for me at 5' 6" 300cc are about the smallest you can get here in the US from most of the bike makers, or 50cc scooters are common here to but so many people drive them on roadway that are over 50 MPH and hold up traffic.

ive been looking into getting me a surron road legal. i know youve covered a lot of e bikes on the channel so guess youre more clued up on it. i want something road legal that i can stick in the van and take to do some green laning / light off road. are there any other bikes i should be considering??

That thing is faster than the Hawk 250 that I started on, and it looks great! Wouldn’t mind grabbing one to play on here in the states!

I love your reviews. I'd like your review on sinnis terrain 125cc

I got the Zontes ZT350 T for £4699 OTR

Tbh after the pain my lexmoto was don't think I'd get another bike from a Chinese manufacturer

I hope its a trend these cheaper bikes are actually moving away from linked brakes and actually using ABS. Really hate the linked break system that was on my LXR and Sinnis

Only reviewer I know of that will take the time to get the bovine 🐄 opinion of a new bike 😆👍.
PS: Might be time for new and improved brake pads on the the DR-Z !?😉.

Nice looking bike

What jacket are you wearing in this video? Looks good.

Used to have one. It was an alright bike but I could never fall in love with it like other bikes. It was just missing something

what the heck is a Zontes?

You tried to hit 70 while it was in eco mode turn it of to see if it actually makes a difference

I love the styling, reminds me a lot of my TW700. I'd prefer less of the farkels. Keyless start, the gas cap deal, the rear seat popper. Would be better to just put the cheap reliable stuff in its place and save the buyer some money.

I would have jumped through hoops for a package as compelling as that in my teenage years! I wouldn’t say no now right enough!😂

Id rather have the Zontes, than the more expensive Japanese bikes anyday, it looks better, swing arm looks great and tubeless spoked wheels look fantastic...Nice one Spicy 🙂

ANDY SILLS!!!!!!!

I have the road version the U on my L plate it has done about 600 miles no issue at all. I'm 5'7 and I can nearly flatfoot it so its great for shorter riders. Its honestly better quality than most Japanese 125's you get. Zontes are just as good as cfmoto

@spicy110 how does it compare to the Sinnis Terrain 125? Honestly?

I think spicy Might be 6ft4

we all wish for that extra inch 🤣, i do like a Zontes, thanks for the review

I loved this bike. Got mine after my LXR let me down with it's reliability. I put 12000 miles on my U1 without a single issue, it was sad to see it go when I got my full license.

For a tenth of a second she did hit the magical 70 👍

you gotta try the mantis 125, budget budget zontes, the one im riding

How is the suspension

Always love the small bike reviews, hell just your reviews in general they're so chill.

OK so I've had my Zontes ZT125-U since December 2020 and done 14000 miles and still rides like new. The current models run a larger rear sprocket taking a 112 520 chain where as mine has a 520 110 chain and because of this my bike cruises at 70 while sat bolt upright I've had 78 on the clock many times. I'm 6'2" 18 stone 19 with gear and bag and I fit fine. I have Michelin street pilots on now. I can easily get the pegs down even at slow speeds. It totally reliable no issues with the keyless system other than changing the fob battery every 6 months. In the time I've had only 2 bikes of its size have beat it a R125 on a dual carriageway flat out crawled past me and a custom RXS100 which is nuts. The bike is amazing a fairly trich especially as at the time it was 3 grand and the Duke 4500. Seriously build quality is very very high. Also the Eco button doesn't do anything on the 125 it only work on the 155 version sold in Asia but I get 105mpg and I rag it everywhere but if I chill I get about 130mpg. Also the dash has 5 dim settings.

Looks pretty smart and being able to do a 69 with it is unexpected 😏

That 125 looks better than some bigger and more expensive bikes, and it even has some fancy features. And I'd love to see you go greenlaning with it, give some inspiration to the younger generation of bikers, I bet you could have some serious fun exploring with that bike.

Just as you were giving up and, rightly, watching the road; just about hit 70mph. Sounds better saying top speed is 69 though 😃
