In the "firmament" of motorcycle production every year more and more new models come out. Here I would like to especially talk about a relatively young representative (when compared with giant brands) of motorcycle equipment Zongshen ZS250gs.

It occupies the middle position between a sports bike and a classic road bike, which is able to combine two categories of buyer in one device.

After all, Zongshen ZS250gs looks elegant and beautiful. In addition, it is well complex, so to speak about motorcycle technology. It attracts attention while driving not only with its presentable appearance, but also with its original, comparable only to the bass of a confident man, the noise of a running engine.

Unknown, when developing the Zongshen ZS250gs motorcycle, the designers set themselves the goal of giving their “brainchild” a recognizable appearance and a characteristic sound of a running engine, or they did it by themselves. However, such a zest with a baritone is able to raise the rating bar (in the eyes of motorcycle lovers) by several steps, which certainly givesa few positive points of such a model.

This deep and powerful bass can only be compared with the confidence of a male before a battle. Therefore, Zongshen ZS250gs is able to leave even expensive “brothers” far behind, the sound of running engines in which is not distinguished by such a characteristic bass. However, you should leave the sound alone, because you won’t get far on it. And talk about the character of this wayward and unique “fighter”.

As motorcyclists say, "He alth is the quality of the brakes on their bikes." Therefore, let's talk more about the Zongshen ZS250gs, the reviews of which speak for themselves. After all, the manufacturer installed disc brakes on it, while on two wheels (even on the rear - double disc).

In addition, such a “device” is equipped with ABS (anti-lock braking system) and alloy wheels. The presence of a large number of plastic parts on the Zongshen ZS250gs is a bit unimpressive. However, such a molding is more a tribute to fashion than a constructive necessity. Yes, and in most "Japanese" such a disease is observed on almost every model.

It may seem to some that the reduced wind fairing is an extra curtsy in favor of the sporty direction of such a “device”, however, such a factor does not spoil the motorcycle as a whole, but makes it comfortable to ride and helps to reduce air resistance, in particular.

Now let's talk about the heart of such an original and unique “unit”, that is, about its engine. Zongshen ZS250gsequipped with a four-stroke engine, has one cylinder with a volume of two hundred and thirty cubic centimeters and runs on AI-92 gasoline. The appetite of such a “male” does not exceed two and a half liters per hundred, which pleases lovers of economical driving. The engine on it is 7, 7 horses and is cooled at the same time in a simple way, that is, forced air. A mechanical box was put on such a motorcycle, and it “came out” no more than two meters long.

Ground clearance as much as 45 centimeters, which is also important on the primer. Such a "miracle" weighs one hundred and seventy kilograms and is started from an electric starter. Although no one canceled the opportunity to start from a kick.
