Zontes zt125C carriageway performance (strong head wind and inclines)

A90 carriageway just outside Ellon to aberdeen. plenty of inclines and headwinds going to aberdeen so take the that into mind when seeing the speed. my last 125 (10ish horsepower) just handled 50-55mph with the same conditions

I'm surprised by the lack of performance to be honest, I've got a Bullit Spirit (Bluroc) and it can hit 68 on most days in 5th gear(final gear) but i've pushed it all the way to 79mph on a downhill and this is from only a 12HP engine, I changed to lightweight battery but this is the only modification made, I would expect this 15HP bike to sit at the same speeds all day on a straight in 5th gear let alone 6th.

Hey dude, I've been looking into getting this bike, how long you had it and have you had issues at all, (fear of the stigma behind Chinese built bikes)

@seanfalcus2159 I've had it about 2 weeks now so i cant talk for long term yet. But yes it is a Chinese bike but zontes has made some solid bikes lately and that includes this one. My first bike was a 2016 zontes mantis with 4 previous owners and I had now problem with that it was chinise so I wouldn't fear much about this a more modern one. It has a premium feel without the high price tag. And that 14.5 horsepower engine definitely surprised me. Compared to my previous 125, I can keep up with the traffic a whole lot easier. But it's still a 125 so wind and hills will still slow you down. If you have a any questions I'll see what I can reply
