Zontes 703F 2025

The Zontes 703F Adventure is a Chinese adventure bike that is not far behind the established competition in the segment. For a really competitive price, it offers a lot, some special features, solid riding performance and good touring suitability. The only thing missing is some fine-tuning in the details, such as ABS or load changes in first gear. However, small weaknesses can be forgiven - measured in terms of value per euro. There is no other 95 Horsepower adventure bike with an Inline three-cylinder engine this cheap.

Extensive standard equipment: USB ports, electric windscreen, centre stand, heated grips, dashcams and more

independent three-cylinder engine with (almost always) smooth reponsiveness

well-balanced, fully adjustable Marzocchi suspension

good TFT display

high range

Unpleasant load changes in first gear

engine needs a lot of revs for sporty acceleration

front brakes need a lot of manual force for hard braking manoeuvres

not too fine ABS control behaviour

wind protection on the shoulders could be improved

BMW F 850 GS 2020

The BMW F 850 GS also scores points in 2022 with its pleasant ergonomics and accessible character. Operation is easy and you quickly feel comfortable on the motorbike. The longer the tour, the more you miss the finesse in the details. The damping of the fork is too lax and not adjustable. The engine gets a bit boring in the long run, and the gearstick and quickshifter are always stiff. In direct comparison with other touring enduros, it is always somewhat overshadowed by more exciting models.
