- čas přidán 21. 07. 2024
- After the success of the Zontes 310M they decided to put in a 125cc power train and create the 125M. Very similar to it's bigger brother but somehow quite different.

Always great production. Presentation, comparison, pluses, minuses, overall feeling. Awesome reviews.
Thank you, I try my best :D
What a flip to begin with!😂 Also didn't know just about time the new 350 couple of scooters hit Europe, they are presenting us this pearl!👍💕 Beginner friendly also!
It is good for a beginner and you do get the feeling of a bigger premium scooter even though it's just a 125. The 350 will have 2 variants the D and the E one of them is the same size as the M and the other one is about 20-25cm longer so should be a bit of a touring model. Hopefully I'll get to see them soon and film them.
Excellent and very fair comparison video in spite of the nearly 200cc difference in displacement & cost between the two scooters? We all got to see for ourselves & feel the differences. Love you comments and thoughts. All the best, Rola (Oregon / USA).
Thanks ✌️
Mulțumesc pentru cele 3 teste de astăzi, cu Sym și Zontes. Astept cu interes D350
Cu mare placere, sper 350D-ul sa il vad undeva spre vară.
Thank you Alex for every review, you are awesome and helpful.
If you had to chooses between Zontes m125 and SYM ADX what would you choose? (Adx its not too heavy for 12,3 hp??)
The ADX because I like touring
Nice review and presentation, but i would like to see a comparison between the Zontes 125M vs Aprilia SR 125GT vs the Dayton ADV 150 in terms of price/quality ride comfort urban and extra-urban, drag race, and fuel efficiency in the real world! Thanks and thumbs up for your work!
It's very hard to get them all 3 together unfortunately :(
interesting version of the M series scooter! It would be nice to see a review of the 350cc variant, the M350!
When it comes in I'll film it, very interested in it myself!
I have a Yamaha nmax 2021, the main reason for the purchase over the Zontes was quite simply, resell value.
Thank you for this video you help me to by the 125 :)
Great video, great information.Has a long time motorcycle rider looking into switching to z scooter for more practical transport.
Tbh I own a big bike and a small city scooter and it's the best combination if you want the best of both worlds.
Your videos are great... very knowledgeable...
Thank you 😁
In Poland you can ride a 125 on "B" licence, if you have it for over 3 years. The list of available 125'es is unlimited here 🙂
Soon here also 😁
the 125M windshield looks nice, sporty! Do you have it on stock at daytona-romania?
No but it should be available for order.
hi, comparing this machine with the SYM ADV 125, what is recommendation without taking into account the price? In terms of power delivery, easy to use in the city consumption and comfort on longer rides .
The ADX is better for what you asked.
Since this video was made, I learned that Zontes sells the scooters with both windshields. At least the 350D, does come with both, but not here in Romania, yet.
The 350D will make it's way to Romania.
Where can you buy a spare parts for this scooter? I am talking about engine, mechanical and things like that. There are no parts available in the local dealers nor on the general Zontes site.
Normally the importer has to provide all parts and support. Talk to the importer in your country.
No reason to buy the 125 cc engine over the 300 cc if dimensions are the same (same with the Xmax 125 and Xmax 300 models which share the same dimensions). However if you don't have the drivers license to ride the 300 / 350 cc then yes...the 125 cc is the way to go
The reason for these 125cc variants of 300 class scooters is that in many EU countries you can ride a 125cc scooter on a regular car license but for anything above you have to get your motorcycle license. It's a niche market created by a law.
Hello, ZONTES 125M/125D, these two bikes are not yet available in mainland China, I am also waiting for this bike, the official said it will be available in May and June, I am also looking forward to it, we are sorry to communicate with a translator.
Alex after a few months of the m300 zontes debut, have you opinion about it? Despite the fact that it is fast, is it reliable? What problems have appeared? What is its flaw? I know it's a presentation of 125 but it's an opportunity to find out what happens after so many months of release. Thank you very much
Well we have about 15 curently sold and the oldest is just about approaching 1 year old. And I think the highest mileage one is over 10.000km. Curently we haven't had anything to them under warranty. They have been stone cold reliable.
@@RideWithAlex Alex thank you very much for your help and for your time... Also here in Greece the people that I stopped and asked for their impressions, all them they had very good experiences and opinions about it...
Mainland China has already been on the shelves (zontes 350D/350M/350E) has not been released 350K, this car front design is very good-looking.
Hi Alex congratulations for your video I would like to ask you how is it the seat for a guy 185 m high for zontes m125 ???? We can find it at sym dealer????
This weekend you can find it and test ride it. Check out the Motosfera social media (Facebook and Instagram)
Thx
Salut , daca ar fi sa alegi intre zontes m125 si sym ADX , calatorit doar pe asfalt si foarte rar off-road , ce ai recomanda , imi place ADX-ul dar pare mai premium Zontes-ul per total ?
Dacă vrei călătorii și drum lung Adx-ul e mai bun, din cauza vitezei de croaziera mai mare și rezervorului mare.
@@RideWithAlex mulțumesc !
Good video!!
Which one would you advies between the zontes 125 sym het X 125 ord sym cruisym-125
We don't have the cruisym 125 here so i haven't ridden that one ever. but between the jetx and the 125M i would go for the 125M
@@RideWithAlex did you test the topspeed of the M? How reliable is zontes? Sym is a known and very reliable brand.
@@Luci2310 no, I didn't test out the top speed. For now zontes has been very reliable but it's still early to say if they are as bulletproof as Sym. They haven't been out on the market for enough time. The 310m only came out 2 years ago and it was zontes's first scooter 🤷🏻♂️
@@Luci2310 ~105km/h on the 125M and ~155km/h on the 310M, according to some yt videos i saw. haven't tried it, got my 310 up to 135-140, decided it was enough :)
@@tipsyone1 thnx for you answer, i only May drive UP to 125 so unfortunately i cant drive the 300+ cc
Any chance you can do one video on Sym Jet 14 200 please? Thank you in advance and appreciate it...
I have one on the 125 L/C and it's basicaly the same scooter and in my review of my st200 i talk about the engine, watch them both together and you get the ideea :))
@@RideWithAlex thank you
As Chinese people,I have been waiting this scooter so long though zontes is Chinese brand!I need 150cc scooter!But it is not listed in China right now!😭
I don't think it will be available there, they made it for certain legislation here in the EU but you can try and ask your local Zontes dealer.
It's either this or the sym adx . I'm a Swede with Greek heritage travelling Europe around, I made 18k kms one season on my baotian 125, (RIP). My senses though tells me ADX, thinking back to all the sorrows with anything Chinese made I owned, especially scooters...
Especially if you do long trips the adx!
Yes Alexandru, I'll think that's the wiser choice. Thank you for your input and for all your great videos, a breath of fresh air!
An OT question if you don't mind and a suggestion too...
The aircold sym engines on their latest bikes, are they GY6 or GY7? Or something else?
You should make a video about the small displacement motors if you have the knowledge on them, many people i think would appreciate that, their stroke seems to be 57.8 like the old good GY6 from what i have found out...
Thank you mate
@@PetroLarsson I have on my personal ST 200 the 169cc air cooled unit and it has nothing to do with the GY6. Sym never uses outside engines. All their engines are completely in house design and manufactured. That's why it's so difficult tu find aftermarket upgrade parts for Sym.
you think is faster than sym jet x 125 ?
Don't really think so, it has more power but it's heavier.
se incardreaza la categoria b125 dupa putere/greutate?
Da, se încadrează.
Hello Alex, I’ve got signed for your channel. You are doing awesome reviews. Where are you from? I am from Ukraine and I have Sym 150cc 2 year old, very happy with it. But unfortunately we don’t get high end Sym models here for some reason 😢 I wold like to buy 250+ cc brand new, Zontes looks very nice bike
I'm from Romania. But I think you have a Zontes dealer in the Ukraine.
I am 186cm tall. Will it be big enough for me?
It should be, but go to a dealer and try for yourself
Oooo 350E...what a scooter... Premium👌... 🍻🇷🇸
😁😁😁
Mainland China has already been on the shelves (zontes 350D/350M/350E) has not been released 350K, this car front design is very good-looking.
Καλό σκούτερ από την Ζοντες για 125cc 3595 e το κόστος στην Ελλάδα.. Η τιμή για αυτό που παίρνεις είναι καλή απλά βρίσκεται στο ψυχολογικό όριο του ανταγωνισμού.. Σ αυτά τα λεφτά δυσκολεύονται αρκετοί να το επιλέξουν γιατί ο ανταγωνισμός εχει πολλά άλλα στην κατηγορία του ...θα σου δώσω μια εικόνα το τι συμβαίνει στην χώρα μου ...πρώτο σε πωλήσεις στην κατηγορία των υδρόψυκτων 125cc είναι το Pcx το Medley το Jet X και το Symphony τα δύο πρώτα κοστίζουν το ίδιο με το Zontes τα Sym είναι φθηνότερα ειδικά το Symphony αρκετά πιο φθηνό ...το Nmax είναι πεσμένο στις πωλήσεις γιατί ανέβηκε αρκετά η τιμή του αλλά και δεν είχε διαθεσιμότητα τώρα έχουν διαθεσιμότητα ...Το M125 αλλά και τα Mista δεν έχουν την απήχηση στο αγοραστικό κοινό , χωρίς αυτό να σημαίνει πως δεν είναι καλά σκούτερ ίσα ίσα που έχουν καλή ποιότητα κατασκευής και εξοπλισμό.....Καλή συνέχεια φίλε μου , χαιρετισμούς από Θεσσαλονίκη.
It is a tough sell, i guess the buyers will decide :)
Επειδή σκέφτομαι για αγορά είμαι μεταξύ daytona mista 125,sym adx 125 και Μ125.συνολικα ποιο είναι καλύτερο;
@@ZTEAMIOTIS Το Mista είναι πιο δυνατό αλλά το Sym έχει καλύτερο στήσιμο με monoshok αμορτισέρ...Το after sale δίκτυο της Sym είναι μονόδρομος σε αυτό που σκέφτεσαι.
I believe you’re from Turkey or Bulgaria 🇧🇬?
Hello I'm from Romania.
Zontes m 125 or honda pcx 125 ??
I hate that the pcx still has a drum brake on thebl back so M125
Which is faster??@@RideWithAlex
ZONTES m310 sau SYM Cruisym 300i ?
Zontes mai manevrabil pe oras Cruisym mai comfortabil la drum lung.
@@RideWithAlex am mai vazut ca ai incercat si 350 T2 si 350 X2 (zontes). care ti s-a parut mai manevrabila in oras? mie imi plac amandoua dar vreau sa si ies in weekend-uri. mai am putin pana termin scoala si nu stiu ce sa aleg. am sa mai vin si la voi la showroom.inca nu stiu ce sa aleg
@@puiucozma3530 vino la showroom sa le vezi pe toate.
خاص يكون فيه 150cc اما 125 سس ههه صغير كينا فى موظور صغير
These two cars have been launched in China for 150cc
Funny!
:)))
At this price range it's really hard to compete with Honda, Yamaha or Piaggio...
It is a bit of a tough sell but it really does feel like a premium product.
It looks to be a Forza competitor, if this is the case then it’s a good bit cheaper.
@@exgtt2061 Forza and x-max 125, ok I see what you mean. I thought it was aiming at nmax, pcx and medley...
@@exgtt2061 the 310 is a for a competitor. This is a 125cc in the review and we don't have a forza 125 here
Looks like yamaha nmax..
It bares resemblance
LISTEN MY FRIEND, the video is about the M125 REVIEW, why you keep compering it to the M310 ??? then make the video say COMPARING THE M125 TO THE M310. you are not beeing fair to the M125, YOU CANT MIX APPLES AND PEARS MY FRIEND. This 125 does share some things with thr 310, but you cant bash on the 125 for lacking power and beeing 160kg. its a 125 period, at a good price, it moves well for what it is period.
I'm just letting peiple know that you don't have the same sensations of speed and power as on the 300, I'm not bashing on it I keep saying for the money it's excelent value but if you can afford the 300 it's a better buy.
@@RideWithAlex BY DOING THIS PEOPLE GET THE WRONG IDEA, IF YOUR GOING TO REVIW THE M125 KEEP THE 310 OUT, BRING IN AN XMAX 125 OR A PCX125, AND COMPARE THEM BUT NOT A 300CC.
This scooter looks way better than SYMs.
I am planning fot 350 GK.This motorcycle is very fast!
The design is top notch.
@@RideWithAlex Do review of Zontes U125.
@@EndritAl it's the same as the u1 that i have allready reviewed.
@@RideWithAlex What do you think it about it? It is very good bike.I just bought it?
@@EndritAl it's a nice beginner bike, small light and nimble
Is it quicker than sym 125 lc engines?
Similar speed and acceleration.
