ZONTES 368G – 2026 ADVENTURE SCOOTER OF THE YEAR (BELOW 500cc)

The Zontes 368G has been awarded the 2026 ADVENTURE SCOOTER OF THE YEAR (BELOW 500CC) at the 2026 ALLIANZ MALAYSIA MOTORCYCLE OF THE YEAR, a victory that firmly establishes the Chinese manufacturer as a formidable force in the burgeoning adventure scooter segment.

The judges were thoroughly impressed by its rugged, purpose-built design, characterized by a commanding presence with its tall windscreen, integrated auxiliary lights, and a distinctive “raptor” front fascia that visually aligns it with larger adventure touring motorcycles.

Beyond its aggressive aesthetics, the 368G secured the win through its impressive mechanical package, powered by a responsive 368cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine delivering 38.6 hp and 38 Nm of torque, paired with a capable chassis featuring adjustable inverted front forks, a rear adjustable monoshock with piggyback reservoir, and spoked wheels fitted with dual-purpose tires for genuine light off-road capability.

With its generous 18-litre fuel tank for extended range, advanced electronics including cornering ABS and traction control, and a premium 6.75-inch TFT display with navigation, the Zontes 368G redefines expectations in the sub-500cc adventure scooter class, proving that exceptional performance and adventure-ready versatility are accessible without venturing into premium price territory.
