THE NEW KING ARRIVES: Bristol Motorcycles Philippines Unveils the Zontes 703RR Triple Cylinder Supersport
OFFICIAL RELEASE: Bristol Group | PUBLISHER: ADVAI
MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Bristol Motorcycles Philippines, the official and exclusive distributor of Zontes in the country, officially disrupts the middleweight segment with the highly anticipated launch of the Zontes 703RR. This high-performance masterpiece is engineered to redefine the middleweight sportsbike category, combining aggressive racing pedigree with the reliability and nationwide support that Bristol Motorcycles has become known for in the local motoring community. Marketed as the “New King of the Middleweight Sportsbike Segment,” the 703RR brings world-class triple-cylinder power and cutting-edge technology to Filipino riders at a price point that challenges every established competitor in its class.
The heart of the 703RR is a revolutionary 699cc liquid-cooled, inline 3-cylinder engine. This “triple” configuration offers the perfect mechanical bridge between the low-end torque of a twin and the high-end scream of a four-cylinder, producing a staggering 95 HP / 11,200 RPM and 75 Nm / 8,500RPM of torque. This powertrain is designed for explosive acceleration and sustained high-speed performance, capable of reaching a top speed exceeding 250 km/h, all while maintaining the smooth delivery required for spirited street riding.
Structurally, the Zontes 703RR is built upon a lightweight aluminum alloy twin-spar frame that ensures exceptional rigidity and flickable handling. In a significant move for the Philippine market, Bristol Motorcycles Philippines has confirmed that the local units will come standard with genuine Brembo calipers. These world-renowned braking components, paired with dual 300mm semi-floating discs, provide elite stopping power and superior lever feel that surpasses the standard equipment found in other regions. The technical specifications are further bolstered by a fully adjustable Marzocchi USD front fork and rear monoshock setup. To ensure the power meets the pavement with maximum grip, the bike comes standard with high performance Michelin Power 6 tires, measuring 120/70-17 at the front and 180/55-17 at the rear.
The 703RR is packed with advanced features that are typically reserved for much more expensive liter-bikes. The aerodynamic profile includes integrated winglets that provide functional downforce for high-speed stability, complemented by a front-mounted Ram Air Intake system that optimizes airflow to maximize engine output. Riders are treated to a comprehensive tech suite, including a TFT display with Zontes DriveSync (smartphone mirroring), a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), dual-channel ABS, and a Zontes ADAPTIVE Traction Control (ZATC). For those looking for a track-ready experience, the inclusion of a factory quickshifter for seamless upshifts and a slipper clutch makes every transition effortless.
When compared to its rivals in the middleweight segment, the Zontes 703RR holds a distinct advantage through its engine architecture and standard equipment. While many competitors in this class utilize parallel-twin engines to save on costs, the 703RR’s triple-cylinder layout provides a more linear power curve and a more soulful, intoxicating exhaust note that purists crave. Furthermore, the 703RR eliminates the need for immediate aftermarket upgrades, as it comes stock with top-tier Italian suspension, premium Brembo braking hardware, and high-end European rubber, offering a level of out-of-the-box performance that is currently unmatched at this price level.
Bristol Motorcycles Philippines is proud to offer this flagship model with a competitive Suggested Retail Price (SRP) of 498,800. For riders looking to take advantage of the official launch, a special cash price of 468,800 is available. As the official distributor, Bristol Motorcycles ensures that every Zontes owner has access to dedicated after-sales service, authentic spare parts, and a growing community of enthusiasts.
