Zontes VX 310 touring motorcycle breaks cover
Zontes, the Guangdong, China based automaker has revealed the VX 310 touring bike in new official images. It is a subsidiary of Tayo Motorcycle Technology and is known for making small displacement motorcycles, step-throughs and scooters.
The new VX 310 gets a bulky front fairing and features high-raised handle bar, huge front windscreen, flat and wide seating, and slightly forward set foot pegs, all of which make it a credible touring machine.
The VX 310 sources power from a 312 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, which is also shared with a couple of other bikes such as Zontes T310 adventure tourer, X310 sports tourer, and the V 310 cruiser. The engine is known to deliver a maximum power output of 35 PS at 9,000 rpm and 30 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. As visible from its overall geometry, the VX 310 looks like a hybrid of of a cruiser and the X310 tourer.
